Little is known about demographic differences in college students’ engagement in peer-to-peer mental health support (i.e., recognize and refer). To this end, we examined demographic differences in responses to encountering a peer in mental distress among undergraduate students (N = 813) from two separate universities. Results revealed numerous demographic differences in students’ responses to encountering a peer in mental distress. Implications for practice, including how college counselors can enhance the inclusiveness of peer-to-peer mental health support initiatives, are discussed.

关于大学生参与对等心理健康支持（即识别和推荐）的人口统计学差异知之甚少。为此，我们研究了来自两所不同大学的本科生 ( N = 813)在遇到心理困扰的同龄人时的人口统计学差异。结果显示，学生在遇到精神困扰的同龄人时的反应存在许多人口统计学差异。讨论了实践的意义，包括大学辅导员如何提高点对点心理健康支持计划的包容性。
