This would work two-fold: firstly by encouraging the student to reflect on their own, perhaps ignored symptomatology; but secondly, by providing universities with information, and trends, to identify and approach students who might be at risk. Utmost sensitivity and confidentiality are paramount in making this successful, but we are unaware of any previous implementation of this technique. We urge its consideration when renewing school health policy.}, keywords = {Anxious,Medical Schools,Students}, url = {https://jamp.sums.ac.ir/article_47348.html}, eprint = {https://jamp.sums.ac.ir/article_47348_02dd5129277e8bc40bf8eb1fe2ba52ee.pdf} }
