abstract="<b>Objectives:</b> We sought to evaluate a universal mental health screening program for undergraduate students using graduate student clinicians and online interviewing tools. <b>Participants:</b> Participants included 455 undergraduate students. Data were collected from October 2017 through January 2018. <b>Methods:</b> Participants completed a self-report mental health screening questionnaire. Students scoring &quot;at risk&quot; on any subscale were invited to participate in individual online follow-up interviews to assess risk level and provide referral information. <b>Results:</b> A majority of participants scored in an &quot;at risk&quot; range on at least one subscale. Follow-up interviews were conducted for 40% of students &quot;at risk&quot; and 33% of those interviewed were referred to the university counseling center. Participants' perceptions of campus mental health priorities improved over a three-month period. <b>Conclusions:</b> A pilot universal campus mental health screening using graduate student clinicians resulted in a meaningful number of referrals and enhanced perception that the university cared about student mental health.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
