Writing
After completing the baseline questionnaire, participants will be randomized to one of two conditions-a peer helping condition or a facts-only writing control. Participants will receive general instructions for completing the writing sessions and will be asked to write for at least 5 minutes per session. Topics covered in each session will vary and are related to common themes relating to life as a first-year university student (e.g., academics, adjusting to university, etc.). Participants will be instructed not to worry about grammar, spelling, or sentence structure and reminded that their responses will remain anonymous. Writing sessions (four in total) will be spaced 1 day apart and take place all within the same week.
