1 Running Head: MENTAL DISORDERS Mental Disorders Study and Survey/Questionnaire Marissa Mendiola University of Central Florida

2 MENTAL DISORDERS Mental Disorders Study and Survey/Questionnaire Step 1: Mental Disorders Step 2: The article, “Mental Disorders Associated with Recent Cancer Diagnosis: Results From a Nationally Representative Survey”, can be found in the European Journal of Cancer, volume 105, and on pages 10-18. Authors Jasmina Mallet, Olivier Huillard, Francois Goldwasser, Caroline Dubertret, and Yann Le Strat examined the association between the history and possible occurrence of mental disorders, a recent cancer diagnosis, and the possible treatments. This study was conducted through the use of in person surveys on 36309 adults. A diagnostic interview was conducted to evaluate past and present mental disorders, such as depressive episodes, bipolar disorders, anxiety disorder, panic disorder, any phobias, substance use disorder, and suicide attempts. Other data that was evaluated included any medical conditions, such as any cancers, sex, race, nativity, age, education, income, marital status, and urbanicity and region of residence. Based on the data collected, people that were diagnosed with cancer had a higher drug use disorder, bipolar disorder, PTSD, more rates of suicide attempts, and more often sought treatment than other people. The main findings of this study were that people who did not have any history of mental disorders did not have an increased risk of developing any after a cancer diagnosis.

The article, “Mental Health Consequences of Sexual Assault Among First-Year College Women”, can be found in the Journal of American College Health, volume 66, number 6, and on pages 480-486. Authors Kate Carey, Alyssa Norris, Sarah Durney, Robyn Shepardson, and Michael Carey studied how sexual assault on women in their first year of college impacts their mental health. 483 first year college women participated in this study. These women participated in a year-long study through online surveys that collected data about their demographics, sexual assault incidences, depression, and anxiety. The main finding of this study was that unfortunately, 12% of women in their first year of college had experienced at least one incidence of sexual assault. Due to this, it was also found that experiencing an incident of sexual assault increased the chances that the women would end their first semester of college with depression and anxiety. The article, “Poor Mental Health, Peer Drinking Norms, and Alcohol Risk in a Social Network of First-Year College Students”, can be found in the Addictive Behaviors Journal, volume 84, and on pages 151-159. Authors Shannon Kenney, Graham DiGuiseppi, Matthew Meisel, Sara Balestrieri, and Nancy Barnett observed any associations between first semester college students with anxiety and depression with their drinking behaviors and their views of their peers. In this study, 1254 first-year college students participated in this study by completing an online survey that collected data on their demographics, mental health, rate and consequences of alcohol consumption, and social group. The main findings of this study were that high anxiety,
