abstract: 'Objective: To examine differences between university students,
vocational education and training (VET) students, tertiary students
combined and non-students in the prevalence of psychological distress
and the socio-demographic and economic characteristics associated with
psychological distress.
Method: The Kessler Psychological Distress Scale was used to estimate
the prevalence of moderate (16-21) and high (22-50) distress with data
from three national surveys: the 2007 Household, Income and Labour
Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey, the 2007-08 National Health Survey
(NHS), and the 2007 National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing
(NSMHWB). Multinomial logistic regression models were also estimated
using the HILDA survey to examine any differences in the characteristics
associated with moderate and high distress between the groups.
Results: There was evidence of a higher prevalence of moderate distress
in tertiary students than non-students in the HILDA survey (27.1\% vs
21.2\%, p < 0.05) and the NSMHWB (27.4\% vs 19.5\%, p < 0.05), but not
the NHS (26.1\% vs 22.5\%, p > 0.05). However, standardized rates for
age and gender attenuated the difference in moderate distress in the
HILDA survey and the NSMHWB. The prevalence of high distress was similar
between the groups in all three surveys. The multinomial regression
analyses using the HILDA survey showed the following subgroups of
students to be at a greater risk of high distress relative to those with
low distress: younger university students, and university and VET
students with financial problems. Compared to VET students and
non-students, younger university students and those who worked 1-39
hours per week in paid employment were at a greater risk of high
distress.
Conclusions: There is evidence that tertiary students have a greater
prevalence of moderate, but not high distress than non-students.
Financial factors increase the risk of high distress and are likely to
take on more importance as the participation rate of socio-economically
disadvantaged students increases.'
