Abstract
Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree of utilization of mental health care services by students in different fields of study and to look into the reasons for any differences found. The material consisted of the records of all the students who used the mental health care services of the Finnish Student Health Service Health Center in Helsinki during the period from September 1, 1980 to August 31, 1981. This basic population was divided into two groups: humanists (students of the arts, theology, and art) and scientists (students of technology, science, human and veterinary medicine, and commerce). There were a total of 672 students in the two groups. The degree of utilization of mental health care services was higher in humanists than in scientists. Similarly, it was higher in female than in male students in both groups.
