Invitation to Participate in a Research Study: Cross-Canada Release of the Post-Secondary Student Stressors Index (PSSI)

Posting Date(s)

Dear Student, 
 
You are invited to participate in a cross-Canada research study to evaluate post-secondary student stress. The Post-Secondary Student Stressors Index (PSSI) was designed to help post-secondary institutions across Canada better target campus mental health services, with the ultimate goal of improving mental health outcomes for students.  
 
To ensure that the PSSI would serve students in the best possible way, I involved students heavily throughout the development and testing of this tool. Now it’s time to use the PSSI at post-secondary institutions across Canada to improve our understanding of the types of stressors students are managing in different parts of the country. 
 
We are looking for student volunteers to complete an online survey. The first survey was conducted in October, and the second was conducted in January. If you did not participate in the survey in October or January, you can still participate this month! The survey should take you about 20 mins to complete. 
  
As a thank you for participating, you will have the opportunity to submit your e-mail into a draw after each survey for a chance to win one of several $50 gift cards. 
 
If you are interested in participating, you will find more information in the Letter of Information (LOI), found here.  

The survey can be accessed at the following link:
