To investigate whether level of positive mental health complements mental illness in predicting students at risk for suicidal behavior and impaired academic performance.
A sample of 5,689 college students participated in the 2007 Healthy Minds Study and completed an Internet survey that included the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form and the Patient Health Questionnaire screening scales for depression and anxiety disorders, questions about suicide ideation, plans, and attempts, and academic impairment.
Just under half (49.3%) of students were flourishing and did not screen positive for a mental disorder. Among students who did, and those who did not, screen for a mental disorder, suicidal behavior and impaired academic performance were lowest in those with flourishing, higher among those with moderate, and highest in those with languishing mental health.
Positive mental health complements mental disorder screening in mental health surveillance and prediction of suicidal behavior and impairment of academic performance.
探讨积极心理健康水平是否可以补充精神疾病，从而预测有自杀行为和学业成绩受损风险的学生。
5689 名大学生参加了 2007 年健康思维研究，并完成了一项互联网调查，其中包括心理健康连续体-短表和患者健康问卷抑郁和焦虑障碍筛查量表、自杀意念、计划和尝试的问题，以及学业障碍。
近一半（49.3%）的学生表现出色，没有筛查出精神障碍。在筛查出精神障碍的学生中，以及在没有筛查出精神障碍的学生中，表现出色的学生自杀行为和学业成绩受损的发生率最低，表现中等的学生次之，表现不佳的学生最高。
积极心理健康水平补充了精神疾病筛查，有助于进行心理健康监测以及预测自杀行为和学业成绩受损。
