stress in college students

What physiological and psychological effects does stress have on college students' academic and personal lives and what can be done to treat and control it?

After you have completed your search for books, you should continue your research by searching for articles in the library's online databases. In an effort to aid you in the database selection process, many libraries, USF included, will categorize their databases under more general topics such as education, business, medicine/science, social science, arts. etc.

Some databases are considered to be multidisciplined, meaning their content is not limited to a particular field of study. Some research topics can be considered multidisciplined as well. Such is the case with stress in college students. The assignment statement above tells us that we will need to search for information in education(college students), medicine/science (stress) and social sciences (psychological effects) databases.
