Abstract
Research Question: What resources are available to students at Boise State who have experienced childhood trauma and live with anxiety?
Anxiety may result from traumatic experiences, particularly during childhood. Traumatic experiences can have a significant impact on the brain's development and the regulation of emotions, leading to increased risk of anxiety. Childhood trauma is a determinant of health. The aim of our research is to share how childhood trauma leads to anxiety and offer students information on the resources at Boise State. To find substantial information on this topic we are going to use the Albertsons library database to find peer-reviewed articles on how childhood trauma increases the risk for anxiety. We will utilize the Boise State Health Services website to research resources available to students. The expected findings from our research will provide those who may be struggling with anxiety and to highlight resources available to students at Boise State.
