The present…

A nationwide, online survey was administered via email chains between June-August 2020 to first-fourth year medical students in the United States. Demographics, 4-point Perceived Stress…

This study aimed to explore the influence of digital overload and phone use preferences on mental health app use among college students, with the goal of informing ho…
