New research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) suggests schools relying on one-off well-being surveys may be overlooking students who need mental health support. The study, led by psychology researcher Dr. Shane Rogers, found that tracking students' moods over several weeks provides a more accurate picture than a single snapshot in time. The results are published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.
