This study describes the psychometric testing of the Mental Health Continuum (MHC) model among undergraduates of three Canadian universities. The MHC is a tool that consists of 6 items to guide students the way to attend to, or monitor, signs and behavior indicators of their mental health status and suggest appropriate actions to improve their mental health.
Factor analysis showed that the MHC tool was two-dimensional and that all six domains assessed were crucial. Overall, the authors conclude that the MHC is a useful tool that helps college students reflect on and enhance their mental health.
