Impact of number of wellbeing resources offered on student distress.
Availability and utilization of well-being resources (Mental Health & Counseling Services, Peer Mentorship, Self-Care Education, Mindfulness/Meditation Classes, and Community Building Events Mental Health) at US allopathic medical schools as reported by medical student survey respondents.

Average change in students’ physical, emotional, and mental well-being based on the number of wellbeing resources offered. Error bars represent standard deviation, p-value vs. 1, 2, 3 and 4 wellbeing resources noted in key.

Impact of wellbeing resources utilization on student distress.
Average MS-WBI and percentage of students who had taken or considered taking a leave of absence for personal wellbeing based on self-reported utilization rate of wellbeing resources (Mental Health & Counseling Services, Peer Mentorship, Self-Care Education, Mindfulness/Meditation Classes, and Community Building Events Mental Health) by survey respondents. Utilization rates were calculated based only on resources marked as offered by students. Average change in students’ physical, emotional, and mental well-being based on the number of wellbeing resources offered. Error bars represent standard deviation, p-value vs. 1, 2, 3 and 4 wellbeing resources noted in key.
