🎯 Research Focus & Key Findings

Primary Research Question: How does stay duration impact mental health outcomes in international student populations?

Validated Psychological Instruments

PHQ-9 – depression screening
SCS – social connectedness indicators
ASISS – anxiety & cross-cultural adjustment

Data-Driven Insights

Short-stay (1–2 years) students: 34% ↑ anxiety, 28% ↓ social connectedness
Medium-stay (3–4 years): peak cultural adaptation challenges
Long-stay (5+ years): stronger support networks but visa/career stress
Critical intervention window: first 6–12 months
SQL-based risk models: predictive scoring for early detection
