Research question

What are the perceptions of university students toward mental health? 

The rationale for the research

This study is critical because many students do not have adequate knowledge about mental health, which influences their attitudes and practices. Therefore, the knowledge gained will reveal the knowledge that students have about mental health. It will also show the attitudes the students bear and the practices that students carry out concerning coping strategies or practices which enable them to seek help. The findings will, in turn, help them take care of their mental health and well-being, which will improve their academic performance and make them become wholesome individuals in society.

A specific focus of the question you plan to examine.

Knowledge, attitudes and practices that students carry out with regards to addressing mental health problems.
