Existing research on doctoral students has consistently found mental and physical health con- cerns and high attrition rates among these students.

Research also shows that attrition from doctoral programs has remained consistently high in North American institutions over the past 50 years, with approximately 50% of students dropping out.

This workshop address ways to better understand, prevent and handle these challenges.

In this workshop Jens Einar Jansen will discuss the following:

• Mental and physical health concerns in PhD-students
• Separating normal stress from problematic stress
• The various factors associated with stress in PhD-students
• Factors influencing completion and well-being
• Time management skills
• Self-regulation skills
• Concentration and procrastination
• Psychological methods of stress management
