Abstract

This article describes the age, gender, and ethnicity of thirty-five community college students who were in treatment for mental health conditions, as well as their Personal Wellbeing Index-A (PWI-A), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) scores. The results indicated that the majority of participants were female, ranging in age from 18 to 42 years, with a mean age of 22.43 (SD = 5.89). Students scored in the moderately high range on the PWI-A (Mean = 48.57), moderately depressed range on the PHQ-9 (Mean = 14.06), and low risk for alcohol misuse on the AUDIT (Mean = 1.89). A higher score on the PWI-A scale was found to be strongly associated with a lower score on the PHQ-9. The scores on the AUDIT were not found to be associated with either the PWI-A or the PHQ-9 scores. Clinical implications are provided. Areas for future research are outlined.
