Business students reported the highest rate of drug abuse, with nursing students the least likely to report psychological problems. The students completed detailed diagnostic questionnaires about a range of mental health problems including mood, panic disorders, bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder , and substance-related issues.A separate questionnaire was used to ask students about suicidal thoughts and behaviour.
They found that there were "significant differences between courses in reported rates for depression, panic disorder, bi-polar disorder, social anxiety, possible ADHD and suicidal ideation".
