问题     Let’s be frank: college can be tough. According to a 2007 study by the American College Health Association, 43 percent of students reported having felt " so depressed it was difficult to function" at least once in the prior year. Other studies, based on student surveys, suggest that one in five undergraduates reported having an eating disorder, one in six had deliberately cut or burned himself and one in 10 had considered suicide.
    Given those numbers, it’s deeply troubling that in 2007 just 8. 5 percent of students used their college’s counseling services. In other words, students were more likely to consider killing themselves than to seek help. "After Virginia Tech, students feel more afraid to discuss mental-health problems," says Alison Malmon, the founder of Active Minds, a national group that promotes mental-health awareness on campus. "They think they’ll be labeled as the crazy kid who’ll shoot up the school. "
    Counselors say that while they do keep an eye out for students who might pose a risk to others, the overwhelming majority of their patients are no threat to anyone but themselves. "The things that make it into the media aren’t people’s everyday struggles," says Gregory Eells, head of Cornell’s counseling service and president of the Association for University and College Counseling Center Directors. "We need to let students know that seeking treatment is a strong, smart thing. "
    Counseling services must look for new ways to reach out to troubled students. NYU freshmen are treated annually to a "reality show," in which NYU student actors perform skits on topics from depression to drug abuse. At Harvard, students can win iPods for attending mental-health screening sessions and are invited to "pajama party" panels, where flannel-clad counselors dispense milk and cookies along with advice about the importance of sleep. "There’s still a high level of stigma," says Richard Kadison, head of Harvard’s mental-health services. "We’re trying to find creative ways of getting the message out. "
    Many campuses also offer online services allowing students to complete informal diagnostic quizzes away from the prying eyes of their peers. "You take it in the privacy of your own dorm room—not at some event where a bunch of other students might be watching you," says Kather-ine Cruise, a director of Screening for Mental Health, a nonprofit that serves about 500 campuses. The results are confidential, but can help nudge students toward counseling services.
    Still, students and counselors agree that the most effective outreach programs are those led by students themselves. "It’s different when you hear something from another student," says Semmie Kim, a neuroscience major who founded MIT’s chapter of Active Minds in 2007. She’s held events like a bubble-wrap stomp to help students vent pre-exam stress, but says her group’s most important role is to provide troubled peers with a sympathetic ear. "We want to make students realize they’re not alone," she says. College will always be tough, but there’s no need to suffer in silence.
The most effective way to regain students’ mental health is that
选项 A、counselors hold mental-health screening sessions more frequently.
B、campuses offer more online services to keep students’ privacy.
C、outreach programs are created by students themselves.
D、neuroscience majors found more associations in psychological aspect.
答案C
解析 推理判断题。本题解题的关键是“最有效的”。四个选项都作为解决大学生心理健康问题的办法在文章中出现过：[A]、[B]、[D]所提到的心理健康筛查会议、提供在线服务、神经科学专业人士筹建心理咨询协会都是解决大学生心理健康问题的有效方法。但是，最后一段的第一句“学生和咨询顾问一致认为最有效的推广计划是由学生自己引导的”才是本题所要求的答案。因此，正确的答案是[C]。
