Objective: This pilot study launched an online Mantram Repetition Program (oMRP) using a virtual health portal that aimed to explore online portal accessibility, oMRP acceptance, and overall interface satisfaction among a sample of postpartum women.

Methods: A quasi-experimental pre-posttest study was conducted using a sample population of low-income …

The field of higher education has demonstrated a genuine concern for individuals with mental illnesses and mental health care on campuses, yet implementation of practices that connect students to treatment is inconsistent and effectiveness is uncertain.
This study searched for associations between campus practices and campus culture regarding mental illness. While institutions of higher education are using both traditional and …
