What the item codes mean. These are the four items on the NCHA-III campus-climate battery. Each is a self-report scale answered by students. Q1 is a general-health question (response scale: Excellent β Poor). R2B, R2C, R2D are perception-of-institution items on a 6-point agreement scale (Strongly Disagree β Strongly Agree). Values below are top-3 (Good+) for Q1 and top-2 (Agree+Strongly Agree) for R2B/R2C/R2D.

R2B is the drag. "Health is a priority" moved slightly the wrong direction. All other items gained.
Open discussion gained most. R2C +2.3 pp is the largest single-item gain.
U of U β Consortium. Every R2 item remains 5β7 pp below peer institutions.
Q1 (general health) exceeds peers. U of U students perceive personal health favorably even as they rate institutional climate lower.

Intent vs. Access gap. Roughly 82% of U of U students say they would consider seeking MH help (NCHA 2025), but only 40% actually received therapy in the past year and 38% received medication. The 42-point gap between stated intent and actualized care is the clearest operational target for SH&W.

Framing note for event. The 2019 NCHA-II baseline is most useful as historical evidence that mental-health distress and help-seeking gaps at U of U pre-date the pandemic. The 65% overwhelming-anxiety and 45% functional-depression figures from 2019 are sobering, and they predate COVID, TikTok-era distress narratives, and the current enrollment cliff β making the case that sustainable wellness infrastructure must be built as a permanent institutional capacity, not a crisis response.

Interpretation
Anxiety rose 5 pp. The largest shift across HMS cycles is a clinically meaningful increase in GAD-7 positive screens. This moves anxiety from a 1-in-4 issue to 1-in-3.
Depression also rose. PHQ-9 positive screens rose 2 pp β smaller than anxiety but directionally concerning.
Flourishing edged up. 35% β 37% flourishing suggests the top of the distribution is holding while the bottom is worsening.
Loneliness stable. Three UCLA-3 items are essentially flat, suggesting social isolation plateaued at pandemic-era levels.

Equity gap. TGNC students report substantially lower climate scores on every item β gaps of 12β25 pp relative to cis peers. The largest disparity is R2D (culture of care): 27% TGNC vs. 52% cis women, a 25-point gap. On general health, TGNC students report Good+ at 67% vs. 86β90% for cis students.
