This study assessed differences in experiences of discrimination, perceptions of physical attractiveness, socioeconomic position, and mental health among students at a public university in Mexico City based on their skin color. A survey was conducted of students in health professions studying in their 8th, 9th, or 10th trimesters, with response rates ranging from 72% to 94%. Results showed students with low socioeconomic position reported less alcohol consumption but more fatigue, while those experiencing mistreatment had lower self-esteem and vitality and higher fatigue. Perceiving oneself as unattractive was also linked to lower self-esteem and vitality and higher fatigue.

This study investigated differences in critical thinking abilities and decision-making preferences among individuals with different occupations and levels of education. Researchers surveyed undergraduates, graduate students, post-graduates in medical and legal fields, and the general population. Results showed that physicians performed worse than lawyers and other highly educated groups on some critical thinking measures, and physicians and the general public were more likely to make decisions with limited information compared to lawyers.
WPA 2015 Proposal
This proposal examines how college students' coping mechanisms affect their perspectives on social change in career opportunities. The study will explore how optimism, self-handicapping tendencies, and perceptions of career barriers predict students' views of upcoming job prospects during a period of social change. Data will be collected through surveys assessing these factors, as well as demographics, from 111 undergraduate students. Results so far indicate that self-handicapping tendencies and perceived barriers are positively associated with seeing more social change, while optimism is negatively associated. Self-handicapping tendency was found to be the strongest predictor. The findings suggest students could benefit from help reducing self-handicapping and barriers to gain a greater sense of control over their futures.

This study investigated implicit anti-fat bias among physical therapy students in two DPT programs in Kansas. Using the Implicit Association Test, the study found significant implicit anti-fat bias in both programs. Students more easily associated negative attributes like "bad", "lazy", and "stupid" with fat people compared to thin people. While the public university exhibited slightly greater anti-fat bias on one measure, overall both programs demonstrated anti-fat bias. The study suggests bringing awareness to such implicit biases could help improve healthcare for obese patients.

The survey of over 2,800 undergraduate students at UC Irvine found:
1) 35% had used some form of CAM in the past 12 months, and over 90% believed CAM can be effective. However, only 31% had received prior education on CAM.
2) The most common CAM therapies used were supplements, massage, body movement like yoga, herbal medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine.
3) Factors associated with higher CAM use included being female, Asian ethnicity, and having prior CAM education. Most students said they would be interested in CAM courses if they fulfilled graduation requirements or were in their major.
4) The study supports that education is a key factor in CAM use decisions

This document summarizes a study comparing levels of engagement between traditional and non-traditional students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). It provides background on the increasing numbers of non-traditional students in higher education and how they differ from traditional students. The study uses data from the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) to analyze differences in engagement across three benchmarks: academic challenge, enriching educational experiences, and supportive campus environment. The purpose is to address the lack of research on non-traditional student engagement at HBCUs and better understand how engagement impacts outcomes for these students.
The relationship of_university_students_sleep_habits_and_academi[1]
This document summarizes a research study that examined the relationship between college students' sleep habits and factors related to their academic motivation. The study found that 42% of students experienced excessive daytime sleepiness. Students with excessive daytime sleepiness tended to be motivated more by a desire to look competent rather than a desire to learn, engaged in more procrastination, and had lower self-efficacy than students who were well-rested. The findings suggest that lack of sleep can negatively impact factors like goal-orientation and self-regulation that are important predictors of academic performance.

Racism as Experienced by Physicians of Color in the Health Care Setting MiraMed: A Global Services Company
This study examined the impact of racism experienced by physicians of color through a mixed-methods survey. 71 physicians of color completed surveys measuring experiences of microaggressions, professional quality of life, and open-ended responses describing instances of racism. Quantitative results found microaggressions were correlated with secondary traumatic stress. Qualitative analysis identified domains of racism experienced from patients, colleagues, and institutions including assumptions of abilities, microaggressions, and exclusion from opportunities. Participants recommended institutions provide spaces to discuss diversity, implement inclusive policies, and promote a diverse workforce. The study suggests physicians of color regularly experience racism which can negatively impact their well-being and career advancement.Perceived stress among international students at Dibrugarh University

A Comparison of Student Success Outcomes Related to the Non-Standardized and...Research Journal of Education
In 2015, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) adopted the 60x30TX plan to increase Higher Education (HE) access and completion for all state students. The target for this plan asserts that by 2030, at least 60 percent of Texans ages 25-34 will have a certificate or degree. Among the initiatives tied to the overall goal to raise HE inclusion rates, is the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) which was formally launched a few years earlier in 2013. The TSI lays out specific requirements for uniform placement testing standards for students entering community colleges to measure college-level preparedness. The purpose of this study was to determine if placement is affected by the instrument applicants use, specifically, the non-standardized or the standardized version of the Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSIA). Final grades of applicants placed into Freshman Composition (ENGL 1301), instead of Developmental Education (DE), served as the measure of student success appropriate for this study. The study sample was selected from two large urban community colleges in Texas. Within the parameters of this study, findings indicated that non-standardized and standardized placement tests have no effect on student success related to placement into ENGL 1301. These findings highlight the need for additional research surrounding the comparative impact between standardized and non-standardized testing, and the subsequent overall impact upon degree or certificate completion.An online survey of pupils’ experiences of eating disorders - journal article
Background: Eating disorders (ED) have a peak rate of onset in school-aged children. Little is known about pupils’ experiences of ED within a school setting.
Method: Five hundred and eleven 11- to 19-year-old school pupils completed an online questionnaire exploring their experiences of ED (72% female, 28% male). Responses were analysed using content analysis principles.
Results: Of the participants, 38% had a current or past ED, 49% of these had never received a formal diagnosis. Of the respondents, 59% saw a need to raise ED
awareness. Only 7% would confide in a teacher about an ED.
Conclusions: Efforts are needed to break down
barriers to disclosure and support teachers to play an effective role in the detection and early intervention for
ED.
Topic area grief and students in middle school introduct
The document provides an overview of research on addressing grief in middle school students. It summarizes 10 sources that examine the effects of grief on academic performance and school experiences, evaluate common grief theories, and describe grief interventions in school settings. The research presented found that losing a parent or sibling can negatively impact students' performance and well-being at school. Qualitative studies also indicated that grief counseling groups focusing on remembering loved ones can help strengthen students' relationships with the deceased and increase positive feelings. Theoretical models of grief are also reviewed, with no single approach found to fully describe the grief process.
Experimental epidemiology
Experimental epidemiology involves controlled studies in which researchers introduce an intervention and observe its effects. Randomized controlled trials are considered the gold standard, as they randomly assign subjects to study and control groups to limit bias. This allows investigators to determine cause-and-effect relationships. Key features of randomized controlled trials include developing a study protocol, selecting and randomizing a population, implementing an intervention for the study group, following up with both groups, and assessing outcomes to compare results. Well-designed randomized controlled trials provide the strongest evidence for evaluating health interventions and establishing epidemiological relationships.

This study examined the impact of "mathemagenic activities" on gender differences in understanding chemistry concepts. 360 Nigerian high school students were given pre- and post-tests after exposure to experimental or control conditions. Results showed students in experimental groups that used instructional objectives, adjunct questions, and combined modes performed better than control groups, with no significant differences between male and female students. The study suggests these approaches can be adopted in chemistry classes without emphasizing gender. Previous research on gender differences in science achievement has been inconclusive, though some studies found males perform better in chemistry problem-solving while females outperform in language arts. This study investigated whether gender impacts chemistry performance when using mathemagenic activities.

Presently, no information could be obtained on the learning styles of distance learners as it has not
been studied before. A study was carried out to identify the learning styles of distance learners at the
Institute of Education Development, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia. Felder’s Learning Styles
Index (LSI) was used in the study. Results of the study were used to make comparison and correlation
analyses between learning styles and academic achievement, programme of studies, gender and
income. One hundred and sixty two students responded to the online questionnaire. The study showed
that 35.5% students preferred visual learning style followed by 29.6% sensory, 14.2% active, 0%
verbal and 2.5% intuitive. The male students were found dominant in visual learning style as
compared to the females who were sensory dominant. The students who were majors in banking
tended towards sensory style as compared to finance and business studies students who were inclined
towards visual style. While the mass communication and public administration students dominated in
visual and sensory styles. The higher income students preferred more visual style as compared to the
middle income who were dominant in both visual and sensory. The higher achievers were found to be
better disposed towards visual as compared to low achievers who were sensory dominant in style. The
learning styles were not significantly different between genders, programme of studies and semesters.
It was also found that there was no significant relationship between learning styles and academic
achievement. This paper discusses in detail the implications of the various learning styles on students
of distance mode of education.Demaris final presentation
The document discusses factors that influence student satisfaction and persistence at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). It presents Tinto's model of student attrition as the theoretical framework, which suggests that academic and social integration affect student outcomes. The study aims to identify institutional factors that influence student satisfaction and determine strategies to increase retention. It will use interviews, questionnaires and surveys to examine the relationship between student satisfaction with institutional experiences and social integration. The results could help administrators improve factors related to student satisfaction and persistence.
Academic Performance, Relationship with Gender and Mode of Admission
In this paper, we examine the impact of gender, mode of admission, parental higher institutional
status, family home status and campus residential status on students’ level of academic performance using the
concept and application of multinomial logistic regression model. The statistical analysis is carried out on a
random sampling of 289 students from all the schools/faculty in FUTA. Information required for the analysis
was obtained through the administration of questionnaire to answer the research questions and thereafter
applied chi–square and multinomial logistic regression methodology was employed. The result showed that,
gender and mode of admission significantly affect the level of performance and that more male student are more
likely to have a high performance compared to the female counterpart. Also students who reside on campus tend
to have a high performance compared to those who reside off campus.
Gifted education
This annotated bibliography summarizes research on identifying gifted students. It discusses the limitations of solely using IQ testing and the benefits of a multiple criteria approach. Several articles are summarized that look at issues identifying twice-exceptional, young gifted children, students from minority groups, and the use of peer nominations and parent checklists in the identification process. The conclusion is that teachers should reflect on whether their school's identification system aligns with current research on giftedness.

Disparities in Overweight and Obesity
Among US College Students
Toben F. Nelson, ScD; Steven L. Gortmaker, PhD; S.V. Subramanian, PhD
Lilian Cheung, ScD; Henry Wechsler, PhD
Objectives: To examine social dis-
parities and behavioral correlates
of overweight and obesity over time
among college students. Methods:
Multilevel analyses of BMI, physi-
cal activity, and television viewing
from 2 representative surveys of
US college students (n=24,613).
Results: Overweight and obesity
increased over time and were higher
among males, African Americans,
and students of lower socioeco-
nomic position and lower among
Asians. Television viewing and in
activity were associated with obe-
sity, and disparities in these behav-
iors partially accounted for excess
weight among African Americans.
Conclusions: Social disparities in
overweight and obesity exist among
college students. Promoting physi-
cal activity and reducing televi-
sion viewing may counteract in-
creasing trends.

The challenge of cultural competence in
the workplace: perspectives of healthcare
providers
Stephane M. Shepherd1*, Cynthia Willis-Esqueda2, Danielle Newton3, Diane Sivasubramaniam4 and Yin Paradies5
Abstract
Background: Cross-cultural educational initiatives for professionals are now commonplace across a variety of
sectors including health care. A growing number of studies have attempted to explore the utility of such
initiatives on workplace behaviors and client outcomes. Yet few studies have explored how professionals
perceive cross-cultural educational models (e.g., cultural awareness, cultural competence) and the extent to
which they (and their organizations) execute the principles in practice. In response, this study aimed to explore
the general perspectives of health care professionals on culturally competent care, their experiences working
with multi-cultural patients, their own levels of cultural competence and the extent to which they believe their
workplaces address cross-cultural challenges.
Methods: The perspectives and experiences of a sample of 56 health care professionals across several health
care systems from a Mid-Western state in the United States were sourced via a 19-item questionnaire. The
questionnaire comprised both open-ended questions and multiple choice items. Percentages across participant
responses were calculated for multiple choice items. A thematic analysis of open-ended responses was
undertaken to identify dominant themes.
Results: Participants largely expressed confidence in their ability to meet the needs of multi-cultural clientele
despite almost half the sample not having undergone formal cross-cultural training. The majority of the sample
appeared to view cross-cultural education from a ‘cultural awareness’ perspective - effective cross-cultural care
was often defined in terms of possessing useful cultural knowledge (e.g., norms and customs) and facilitating
communication (the use of interpreters); in other words, from an immediate practical standpoint. The principles
of systemic cross-cultural approaches (e.g., cultural competence, cultural safety) such as a recognition of racism,
power imbalances, entrenched majority culture biases and the need for self-reflexivity (awareness of one’s own
prejudices) were scarcely acknowledged by study participants.
Conclusions: Findings indicate a need for interventions that acknowledge the value of cultural awareness-
based approaches, while also exploring the utility of more comprehensive cultural competence and safety
approaches.

Healthcare Access Temporal trends and disparities within the
This document summarizes a study analyzing disparities in healthcare access among different racial and ethnic groups in Texas from 2005 to 2011. The study used data from the CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System for Texas during those years. Logistic regression models were used to examine the relationships between race/ethnicity, socioeconomic factors, and two dependent variables: the inability to afford seeing a physician and not receiving a routine checkup in the past 12 months. The results found that Hispanics faced increasing risks over time compared to earlier years, and that disparities existed for Hispanics and Blacks compared to other groups in accessing routine medical checkups.

Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to identify factors influencing eating behavior of Ecuadorian adolescents - from
the perspective of parents, school staff and adolescents - to develop a conceptual framework for adolescents’ eating
behavior.
Study design: Twenty focus groups (N = 144 participants) were conducted separately with adolescents aged 11–15 y (n
(focus groups) = 12, N (participants) = 80), parents (n = 4, N = 32) and school staff (n = 4, N = 32) in rural and urban Ecuador.
A semi-structured questioning route was developed based on the ‘Attitude, Social influences and Self-efficacy’ model and
the socio-ecological model to assess the relevance of behavioral and environmental factors in low- and middle-income
countries. Two researchers independently analyzed verbatim transcripts for emerging themes, using deductive thematic
content analysis. Data were analyzed using NVivo 8.
Results: All groups recognized the importance of eating healthily and key individual factors in Ecuadorian adolescents’ food
choices were: financial autonomy, food safety perceptions, lack of self-control, habit strength, taste preferences and
perceived peer norms. Environmental factors included the poor nutritional quality of food and its easy access at school. In
their home and family environment, time and convenience completed the picture as barriers to eating healthily. Participants
acknowledged the impact of the changing socio-cultural environment on adolescents’ eating patterns. Availability of
healthy food at home and financial constraints differed between settings and socio-economic groups.
Conclusion: Our findings endorse the importance of investigating behavioral and environmental factors that influence and
mediate healthy dietary behavior prior to intervention development. Several culture-specific factors emerged that were
incorporated into a conceptual framework for developing health promotion interventions in Ecuador.

OSWALD Balancing Undergrad Dems
This document summarizes a research paper about balancing the demographics of an undergraduate student population. It discusses three key themes from the literature: (1) demonstrating university dedication to diversity through mission statements and goals, (2) providing capital support for diverse students through grants and scholarships, and (3) implementing custom recruitment tactics like targeting diverse schools and including diverse representations in marketing. It concludes that cultivating a diverse student body requires commitment from the university, financial resources, and strategic recruitment efforts.
Trends in Racial/Ethnic Representation Among US Medical Students
Black, Hispanic, and AIAN students remain underrepresented among medical school matriculants compared with the US population. This underrepresentation has not changed significantly since the institution of the Liaison Committee of Medical Education diversity accreditation guidelines in 2009. This study’s findings suggest a need for both the development and the evaluation of more robust policies and programs to create a physician workforce that is demographically representative of the US population.

This study evaluated differences in cooperation between adolescent patients undergoing either one-phased or two-phased orthodontic treatment. A cohort of 132 patients aged 10-17 receiving treatment were divided into those with prior interceptive treatment (two-phased) and no prior treatment (one-phased). Cooperation was measured using the Orthodontic Patient Cooperation Scale every 3 months. Patients with two-phased treatment showed significantly greater cooperation compared to one-phased patients. Cooperation was also higher in females compared to males. The most influential factors on cooperation were patient attitude, interest, commitment, and parental motivation. Patients with two-phased treatment maintained higher cooperation levels throughout treatment.

Abstract
This paper addresses the cognitive abilities that enhance hand hygiene acquiescence while backing the inhibition of healthcare associated to the contagions and how they have been widely acknowledged. It is also acknowledged that great hand cleanliness alone cannot impress difficult risk influences, such as elder age, immune-suppression, entrance fee to the serious care part, a lengthier span of stay, and indwelling strategies. The participants used in this study were selected from were randomly selected from public places through observation of their actions and how they took care of their hands especially before eating, after eating and also engaging in hand cleanness in public places. The main methods used for the research are qualitative studies through the use of observation models. In sum, it was found that hand sanitation involvements are concomitantly assumed with other monotonous or superior preventive approaches, there are a probable for these simultaneous policies to confuse the result of the hand sanitation package. Therefore, the direct comment of hand cleanliness likelihoods and movements; microelectronic nursing of hand hygiene actions and valuation of liquor created hand rub ingesting strength also be used as accidental methods and supernumerary indicators. In addition to these studies specifically focused on hand hygiene treatments, hand hygiene was in the center of numerous studies applying broader transmission control treatments and demonstrating the effect on healthcare-associated infection rates. So, hand hygiene is the fundamental part of proper recommendations for the prevention of the most common healthcare-associated infections.

Significance and Background of the Study
The study is significant because it will have an impact on improving the healthcare and also the welfare of the poor populations in terms of improving their health. Therefore, those with previous illness situations anxiety that they might lose assurance attention if they modification occupations. Central income person terror that decrease insurance welfares might energy them to recompense extra and more of the prices of health care, accumulative their unwillingness to search for maintenance when they necessity it.

Cultural Competence and Poverty:
Exploring Play Therapists’ Attitudes
Lauren Chase and Kristie Opiola
Department of Counseling, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
This article reports the findings of a survey that investigated attitudes toward poverty
among play therapists (N � 390) and its relation to demographic information. Multi-
variate analyses of variance (MANOVA) were used to measure the relationship
between play therapists’ demographics and their attitudes toward poverty, specifically
their structural, personal deficiency, and stigma scores. Results indicated that both
region and age resulted in differing views on poverty. Participants living in the
Northeast held stronger structural views of poverty than participants in the South.
Similarly, participants in the 50 –59 and 60 plus age groups disagreed to strongly
disagree with a personal explanation toward poverty than participants in the 30 –39 age
group. The importance of play therapists’ examining their attitudes toward poverty and
the direct impact on their work is discussed. Finally, implications of the results,
including overall findings, are explained.
Keywords: play therapy, attitudes of poverty, cultural competence
Culturally competent training is an element
of credentialing requirements that ensures men-
tal health providers offer adequate and respon-
sive care to diverse populations. Although the
mental health field has embedded cultural com-
petence in their standards and guidelines, there
are discrepancies in the way the profession as-
sesses and measures competence (Sue et al.,
1996). Researchers have investigated attitudes
toward poverty in the helping professions
(Levin & Schwartz-Tayri, 2017; Noone et al.,
2012; van Heerde & Hudson, 2010; & Wit-
tenauer et al., 2015), but no study has focused
on play therapists’ attitudes toward poverty.
The purpose of this study is to fill a gap in the
literature regarding play therapist’s attitudes to-
ward poverty because awareness and knowl-
edge are key elements to implement culturally
responsive services and skills with diverse chil-
dren in a variety of settings.
Cultural Competence
Cultural competence is an important compo-
nent of professional practice, and practitioners
are expected to develop skills and understand-
ing pertaining to diverse clientele. Researchers
define cultural competence as the set of beliefs,
knowledge, and skills mental health providers
possess in order to deliver effective interven-
tions and services to members of various cul-
tures (Gilbert et al., 2007; Sue, 2006). The New
Freedom Commission on Mental Health (2003)
recognized disparities in mental health delivery
and viewed the lack of cultural competence for
minority populations as a persistent problem.
Culturally competent health care is essential to
providing effective care to all populations. To
aid practitioners in their ability to increase their
cultural competence, leading professional men-
tal health associations have published ...
Patient centered care i 2014
This document discusses patient-centered care and behavioral medicine in primary care. It covers several key points:
- Understanding diverse patient populations and how they perceive health and illness. This includes taking cultural factors like race, gender, socioeconomic status and health literacy into consideration.
- Developing skills like effective communication, providing culturally-sensitive assessments and interventions, and addressing barriers to patient adherence.
- Common factors that influence medication adherence such as health system challenges, patient health conditions and literacy, complexity of treatment regimens, and social/economic issues. Limited health literacy is strongly associated with lower levels of medication adherence and health knowledge.
- Strategies providers can use to improve adherence, including assessing literacy levels

Admission Policies And Methods At Crossroads A Review Of Medical School Admi...
This document reviews the admission policies and methods of medical schools in seven Asian countries: Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and Taiwan. Each country has its own governing bodies that set policies for medical school admissions. While academic criteria are universally important, countries also consider local needs and values in their policies. This includes widening access through quotas. Tensions exist between selecting the most qualified candidates and increasing access. Finding the right balance requires considering each country's resources and needs. The review identifies similarities and differences in the countries' policies and methods, and how they address common issues.

FACIAL NERVE
The facial nerve, also known as cranial nerve VII, is one of the 12 cranial nerves originating from the brain. It's a mixed nerve, meaning it contains both sensory and motor fibres, and it plays a crucial role in controlling various facial muscles, as well as conveying sensory information from the taste buds on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
Pneumothorax and role of Physiotherapy in it.
This particular slides consist of- what is Pneumothorax,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.

留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径，但认证只是个体行为，不是所有留学生都操作，所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的，他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单，就有了使用价值。

Certain chemicals, such as phthalates and parabens, can disrupt the body's hormones and have significant effects on health. According to data, hormone-related health issues such as uterine fibroids, infertility, early puberty and more aggressive forms of breast and endometrial cancers disproportionately affect Black women. Our guest speaker, Jasmine A. McDonald, PhD, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at Columbia University in New York City, discusses the scientific reasons why Black women should pay attention to specific chemicals in their personal care products, like hair care, and ways to minimize their exposure.

Exploring the Benefits of Binaural Hearing: Why Two Hearing Aids Are Better T...Ear Solutions (ESPL)
Binaural hearing using two hearing aids instead of one offers numerous advantages, including improved sound localization, enhanced sound quality, better speech understanding in noise, reduced listening effort, and greater overall satisfaction. By leveraging the brain’s natural ability to process sound from both ears, binaural hearing aids provide a more balanced, clear, and comfortable hearing experience. If you or a loved one is considering hearing aids, consult with a hearing care professional at Ear Solutions hearing aid clinic in Mumbai to explore the benefits of binaural hearing and determine the best solution for your hearing needs. Embracing binaural hearing can lead to a richer, more engaging auditory experience and significantly improve your quality of life.

Racism and mental health among university students in Mexico
- 1. OBJECTIVE: To assess whether differences exist in experiences of discrimination, perceptions of physical attractiveness, socioeconomic position, and mental health according to student's skin color.
- 3. • The population included students from a public university in Mexico City. The following three groups were created based on skin color: white, light brown, and brown. By means of regression models, we evaluated whether differences in mental health according to skin color could be due to experiences of discrimination, perceptions of physical attractiveness, and/or socioeconomic position.
- 5. • A cross-sectional survey was carried-out. The studied population comprised students from the health professions (nursing, nutrition, medicine, and dentistry) at the National Metropolitan Autonomous University, who at the time of field work (November and December 2007) were studying in the 8th, 9th, and 10th trimesters. These three levels were selected because another of the survey objectives was to investigate harassment and discrimination experiences that the students had faced at the university. The response rates were 94% (N=122) in nursing, 87% (N=123) in nutrition, 72% (N=127) in medicine, and 84% (N=228) in dentistry.
- 6. • In comparison to students from the high socioeconomic stratum, those with low socioeconomic position possessed lower levels of vitality and reported less alcohol consumption, but had higher levels of fatigue • . Compared to the students who had not experienced mistreatment, those who had experienced mistreatment reported lower levels of self-esteem and vitality and higher levels of fatigue. Students who reported experiences of harassment had less self-esteem and vitality, and higher levels of fatigue and alcohol consumption. With respect to students who perceived themselves as attractive, those not perceiving themselves as attractive presented lower self-esteem and vitality and higher fatigue.
