Physical Activity and Mental Wellness SURVEY

While there is a significant amount of literature on this topic, I focused my research mainly on college students.  Most of my findings have shown that there could be a correlation between physical activity and mental wellness, with a specific focus on depression.  Your help in completing my survey will help me out tremendously in my research and will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your time to complete the survey and check back in December for the results!
