The Claim

An article titled "Mental health awareness among Malaysian university students" by A. Bashir and S. Hassan was published in 2022.

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

No reliable database evidence supports the existence of a 2022 article with that exact title and author pair. The evidence instead points to a 2020 doctoral thesis by Anam Bashir, supervised by Sheikha Hassan, with a different title. The claimed 2022 article appears to be a miscitation of that thesis, not a real publication.

Caveats

  • A thesis supervisor is not the same as a co-author; treating those roles as equivalent creates a false publication claim.
  • The actual documented work has a different title and year: a 2020 thesis, not a 2022 article.
  • Searches in major academic indexes did not locate any record of the claimed article, which strongly undercuts the claim.
