Due to an interaction of age, birth cohort, genetics, and the lifestyle factors inherent in the "college experience," some college students are at increased risk for mental health problems such as alcohol, tobacco, and other drug abuse; depression; stress and anxiety; and eating disorders. A program to promote self-monitoring of students' health behaviors could prove beneficial to their future well-being and potentially reduce overall medical costs for this group. Computerized mental health risk appraisals, if valid, reliable, and acceptable to students and administrators, could facilitate implementation and minimize the costs of such a program. This pilot study was designed to determine whether a confidential computer-based risk appraisal is a valid and acceptable measure of current mental health status in a university student sample. Two basic questions were addressed. First, do computerized questionnaires yield results similar to their pencil-and-paper counterparts? Second, how do students rate and compare the two formats?
由于年龄、出生队列、遗传因素以及“大学经历”中固有的生活方式因素之间的相互作用，一些大学生面临心理健康问题的风险增加，如酗酒、吸烟和其他药物滥用、抑郁症、压力和焦虑以及饮食失调。一项促进学生健康行为自我监测的计划可能对他们未来的幸福有益，并有可能降低该群体的总体医疗成本。如果计算机化的心理健康风险评估有效、可靠且为学生和管理人员所接受，那么它可以促进该计划的实施并将成本降至最低。这项试点研究旨在确定基于计算机的保密风险评估是否是大学生样本当前心理健康状况的有效且可接受的衡量标准。研究涉及两个基本问题。第一，计算机化问卷得出的结果与纸质问卷的结果相似吗？第二，学生如何评价和比较这两种形式？
