Cedar Rapids Gazette: With an alarming portion of its students determined to be in psychological distress, Iowa State University is preparing a student wellness needs assessment it plans to use to develop a “health and well-being strategic plan.” More than a quarter of 1,000-plus ISU students polled last fall scored positive for suicidal risk. One in five of those students were in “serious psychological distress,” and more than half were experiencing loneliness, according to the ISU version of the National College Health Assessment.
