Association between Demographics and Prevalence of Various Mental Disorders in Local Community
This study examines the association between different demographics (e.g., gender, race, age, socioeconomic status) and the occurrence of different, highly prevalent mental disorders (e.g., depression, anxiety, eating disorders) in the local community. We can reference larger statistics on national prevalence rates of mental disorders to compare whether the prevalence rates found in the local community are higher, lower, or average.
Parental Psychoeducation: An Effective Preventative Measure for Youth Mental Health?

How might stigma about mental health play a role in better outcomes for youth?
