Stress and Coping Mechanisms: Comparison between International and Domestic (American) Students

The goal of this project was to compare how international and domestic students at the University of Michigan-Flint perceive stress and the coping mechanisms they use. The motivation behind conducting the present study was to explore -- both domestic and international students' concerns and challenges they may deem as stressful. An additional aim was to investigate the main stressors identified by international and domestic students. The findings in this project may provide more information about the levels of stress students from the University of Michigan-Flint campus report experiencing. This would be valuable to know whether both international and domestic students who experience high amounts of stress seek help often from counseling services when encountered with stressful situations.Master's of Public HealthSchool of Health Professions and Studies: Public HealthUniversity of Michiganhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/137718/1/Moonga2017.pd
