Impact of Mental Health, Cultural Integration, Parental Socialization, Substance Use, and Structural Insecurity on the Academic Success among College Students

The purpose of this research was to examine variables that impact academic achievement. Using data from the 2020-2021 Healthy Minds Survey conducted by the University of Michigan, the researchers performed two multivariate logistic regression analyses (weighted N=20,476). Results indicated several connections that impact a college student's experience and academic success. Implications relating to mental health, campus experience, parental education socialization, substance usage, and structural security are examined.
