[Mental health service corridors between universities and health and social services institutions in Quebec: Persistent challenges and potential solutions].
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The mental health of Quebec's student population appears to have been deteriorating for several years. Faced with these challenges, the ministère de l'Enseignement supérieur in Quebec has developed the Action plan on student mental health in higher education, which aims to support higher education institutions in implementing practices and measures that can contribute to the well-being and development of a flourishing mental health of the student population. The plan calls for the creation of service corridors between institutions and the health and social services network (HSSN). A number of other ministerial orientations also call for this approach. At present, information on these corridors remains limited, and they do not appear to be the subject of research anywhere in the world, particularly in Quebec. Objective The aim of this article is to document the state of service corridors between universities and the HSSN in Quebec. Method The data at the heart of this article comes from an inventory produced by 17 universities. A thematic analysis of the data was carried out using a deductive and inductive approach, with the aid of N'Vivo software. Results Five themes emerged from the analysis: 1) Issues related to current service corridors between universities and the HSSN; 2) Consequences of the absence of service corridors for students; 3) Consequences of the absence of service corridors for universities; 4) Main factors that could hinder the implementation of service corridors; 5) Proposed solutions. Conclusion Anticipated impact: This article highlights the absence of service corridors between universities and the HSSN, despite the many efforts made to create them and the ministerial orientations that encourage their creation. The article proposes a number of very concrete and actionable solutions that are perfectly aligned with ministerial orientations and that would help reduce emergency room use in Quebec. First priority could be given to students in need of specialized services who must be referred to the HSSN. The use of the mental health access mechanism, present in the HSSN, appears to be the simplest and most coherent approach, given that this mechanism aims to improve access to specific and specialized mental health care and services.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
