"The Healthy Minds Survey was conducted at Harvard in spring 2025. With a response rate of 25 percent, more than 5,900 students across undergraduate and graduate Schools completed the 25-minute survey. Healthy Minds, a national initiative launched in 2007 by the University of Michigan, administered the survey, which is designed to gather information about mental health on college campuses. Since its inception, more than 850,000 students at 600 colleges and universities have participated, including Stanford University, MIT, Tufts University, and Boston University."

The Healthy Minds Survey at Harvard in spring 2025 had a 25 percent response rate with over 5,900 undergraduate and graduate students completing the 25-minute instrument. The survey measured anxiety, depression, disordered eating, suicidality, binge drinking, sense of belonging, loneliness, isolation, awareness of campus resources, and barriers to access. Harvard students scored better than national averages on mental health measures, sense of belonging, and awareness and utilization of support services. University administrators identified remaining opportunities to increase awareness of specific mental health resources and to strengthen social connections among students. The survey implementation follows recommendations from the 2020 Task Force on Managing Student Mental Health.
