      <dc:description>Mental disorders are consistently and closely related to psychological distress. At the start&#xd;
of the university period, the relationship between a student’s psychological distress, family support,&#xd;
and employment status is not well-known. The aims of this study were: To determine the prevalence of psychological distress in first-year university students and to analyze its relationship with&#xd;
family support and the student’s employment status. Data from 4166 first-year university students&#xd;
from nine universities across Spain were considered. The prevalence of psychological distress&#xd;
was obtained using the GHQ-12, a valid and reliable screening tool to detect poor mental health.&#xd;
To analyze the relationship between psychological distress, family support, and employment status,&#xd;
logistic regression models were fitted. Regarding the prevalence found, 46.9% of men and 54.2% of&#xd;
women had psychological distress. In both genders, psychological distress levels increased as family&#xd;
support decreased. Among women, psychological distress was associated with their employment&#xd;
status. The prevalence of psychological distress among first-year university students in Spain is&#xd;
high. In addition, family support, and employment status for women, could be factors to take&#xd;
into account when developing psychological distress prevention strategies at the beginning of the&#xd;
university period.</dc:description>
