Students in the Fall 2020 PBH 512 Qualitative Research Methods conducted a photo-elicitation study looking at the mental health and well-being of first year Jefferson students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students developed their qualitative research skills by identifying a research question, creating a qualitative interview guide, conducting in-depth interviews with both undergraduate and graduate students across 2 campuses at Jefferson, and data analysis. The project resulted in a virtual presentation which showcased students' findings related to high levels of stress and anxiety and its negative impact on physical and mental health.
