YOUR PARTICIPATION IS VOLUNTARY
WHO IS CONDUCTING THIS PROJECT?
This project is being led jointly by Khesar Gyalpo University of Medical Sciences of Bhutan (KGU) and the Global Health Initiatives (GHI) program from the University of British Columbia (UBC). This project is predominantly student-led by KGU counselling students and UBC medical and public health students with support from faculty at both institutions.
KGU Supervisors: Dr. Chencho Dorjee, Dean of Nursing & Public Health; Dr. Chencho Dorji, Psychiatrist
UBC Supervisors: Dr. Joelle LeMoult, UBC Department of Psychology
BACKGROUND
The mental health system in Bhutan is emerging and still in its infancy. Currently there is limited infrastructure, a lack of foundational mental health knowledge, pervasive stigma, and few mental health specialists in a Kingdom of close to 1 million citizens. The burden of mental illness is especially prevalent among Bhutan’s young people who face rising suicide rates, substance abuse, mood disorders, gender violence, and disruptions to traditional family structures and culture. The COVID-19 pandemic is likely exacerbating an already overburdened mental health system where there is little understanding of the pandemic impact to young people and few resources available to support this population. Bhutan’s young people will play an integral role as future leaders in the wellbeing and resilience of the Kingdom as a whole, and their mental health and wellness needs to be understood and supported.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this survey is to gain an understanding of young people’s experience with mental health – their perspectives, challenges, needs, and strengths. The knowledge collected through the survey will inform the development of mental health resources for Bhutanese young people and guide future research to build this limited academic pool of knowledge.
The Counseling Office provides a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space for you to discuss any concerns. If you feel the need to talk to someone in a confidential setting, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are here to support you in any way possible.
Tarayana RTC Club aims to give value to the often overlooked Ngultrum 1 notes by gathering contributions from all of you and channeling them towards the Bhutan Kidney Foundation. Consequently, the club extends an earnest appeal to each one of you to contribute and effect positive change in the lives of others. For further details, please connect with us via Tarayana RTC on Facebook, _tarayana_rtc on Instagram, or reach out via email at www.tarayanartc@gmail.com.

How do I? The Research Process: Step-by-Step
The research process is a structured series of steps that will be used throughout your academic career to complete assignments or conduct research. The steps are ‘iterative’ – they are continuously repeated as new knowledge is gained and new questions are asked.
This infographic illustrates the major ‘steps’ in the research process. Scroll down to find specific information and help for each step in the process.

How do I? APA Citations & Citation Generators (downloadable pdf)
What is a Citation?
“A citation is the way you tell your readers that certain material in your work came from another source and gives your readers the information necessary to find that source again.”
When do I need to cite?
Whenever you borrow words or ideas from another source, you need to acknowledge that source. The following situations almost always require a citation:
- Whenever you use quotes
- Whenever you paraphrase
- Whenever you use an idea that someone else has already expressed
- Whenever you make specific reference to the work of another
- Whenever someone else's work has been critical in developing your own ideas (David, n.d.)
Why?
By giving others proper credit for their ideas, you avoid something called ‘plagiarism’:
“Plagiarism, the presentation of another’s ideas, writing, or other work as one’s own, is a serious kind of cheating. Thus, students unsure of how borrowing from another’s work should be properly acknowledged have the responsibility to consult with relevant faculty regarding acknowledgement procedures appropriate to their discipline.” (Royal Thimphu College, n.d.)
All programs at The Royal Thimphu College use APA – American Psychology Association – 7th ed (2020) Style Guide.

CITATION TOOLS
Online Citation Generators are great when you just need a few citations, or are working on shorter papers and assignments. Just copy and paste the URL for an online resource, ISBN for a book, or DOI for a journal article into the generator (don’t forget to choose APA!).
ZoteroBib : Generates citations and builds a bibliography in most styles, without creating an account or installing any software
MyBib : A free bibliography and citation generator that makes accurate citations for you to copy straight into your academic assignments and papers.
Citation Manager Software is used primarily for more extensive research projects and helps you to collect, organize and format all of your citations. Citation Managers generally need to be downloaded to your computer, or you need to create an account if using online software. Some good free programs are (note – the links will take you to Penn State University’s software user guides and download links):
Zotero Quick Start Guide : a free stand-alone program that allows for easy capturing of citation information from web pages.
Mendeley : a free tool for both the desktop and web that integrates with Zotero and easily manages PDFs. (Documentation Support site; How To Use Mendeley Reference Manager (Complete Beginner's Guide) video 17 mins)
