Psychological Health Survey of Ethiopian University Students

Six hundred and thirty students were initially enrolled from Mizan-Tepi University, Mizan-Aman, Ethiopia for a psychological health survey (Fig. 1). Of these, 562 participated with a response rate of 89.21%. From this, a sample of 400 students was randomly selected for this study (Fig. 1). Here we report the findings from a sample comprising of 387 students (age = 21.8 ± 3.8 years, and body mass index = 20.8 ± 3.2 kg/m²) after removing person-level missing values (n = 13). There were no construct-level or item-level missing values for PSS scores (Fig. 1). Psychometric properties were investigated in a sample (n = 386) after deleting multivariate outlier (n = 1) as determined by Mahalanobis distance (χ² = 29.59, df(10), p < 0.001) (Fig. 1).Fig. 1
