Greetings!
We are a group of researchers at the University of Massachusetts Boston interested in understanding the status of mental health among doctoral students in STEM.
Mental health and wellbeing are key factors influencing doctoral student success. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing violence against Black, Asian, Indigenous, and Latinx communities have increased and compounded student stress. So, we are currently seeking participants for a 35-minute research study designed to understand the influential factors that affect mental health among doctoral students in STEM.
Participants who meet the following criteria are invited to take part in this research:
- Current doctoral student
- Enrolled in a STEM discipline
- 18 years or older
We encourage students who hold minoritized identities to participate in this study.
