NC State vs.

National Data

Through participation in the Center for Collegiate Mental Health (CCMH) research network, the Counseling Center has access to data that provides a broader context. Students at the NC State Counseling Center complete the CCAPS (Counseling Center Assessment of Psychological Symptoms) at intake. The CCAPS is administered as well as by students seeking services at more than 350 counseling centers across the country. The following graph and table illustrate the average scores at intake for NC State students in comparison to national averages. Questions are asked on a Likert scale with “0” indicating “not at all like me” through “4” indicating “extremely like me.” Averages are calculated for each of the 8 domains listed below based on the questions that fit within that diagnostic category.

These statistics show that clients presenting at the Counseling Center indicate experiencing somewhat higher levels of distress related to depression and anxiety but are slightly lower in other domains relative to college students across the country.
