Mental health and lifestyle health behaviors among commuter college students.
Article in Cogent mental health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Commuter college students face unique circumstances and stressors that may impact their well-being, yet this is an area of research that has been largely unexplored. This study examines mental health and lifestyle health behaviors of commuter college students. Participants were 576 undergraduates (62% female, 81% non-White, 20.31 ± 3.02 years) attending an urban public commuter college. Participants completed a cross-sectional, anonymous, web-based survey that included validated measures of mood, anxiety, stress, sleep quality, and physical activity. Overall, 58.6% screened positive for depression, 37.8% screened positive for generalized anxiety, 57.5% had poor sleep quality, and only 23.3% met physical activity recommendations. More females screened positive for depression and anxiety and had poor sleep quality than males, and fewer females met activity recommendations. Being physically active and having good sleep quality were associated with better mental health. Findings reflect high rates of mental health problems and low engagement in health behaviors, particularly among women. Opportunities to address the well-being of commuter college students are discussed.
