Dear students,

Your health is very important to us. Since 2022, we have been conducting regular surveys at Saarland University to gain insight into the health status of our students and to further develop appropriate student health management services.

In recent years, many different aspects of health have been covered in a comprehensive questionnaire. In order to make participation more pleasant and clearer in the future, we have decided to restructure the surveys: instead of one very long survey, we will now conduct several shorter online questionnaires on individual topics throughout the year.

We are starting with the topic of ‘mental health’. We would like to find out how you are currently feeling mentally, what stresses you encounter in your everyday student life and what supports you. Your feedback will help us to further develop existing services and plan new, needs-based measures.

The questionnaire has been deliberately kept short and takes about 15 minutes to complete. Participation is, of course, voluntary and anonymous.

Thank you for taking the time to participate in this survey. Your opinion is extremely valuable to us and makes an important contribution to improving study conditions and promoting your mental health.

Your Student Health Management Team
