How do I properly paraphrase this?

Undergraduate students report experiencing a

considerable de- gree of stress. The American College Health Association’s Na- tional College Health Assessment found that 53% of students reported feeling either “more than average” or “tremendous” levels of stress in the last 12 months (American College Health Associ- ation, 2015). In addition, nearly half of college students have a diagnosable psychological disorder (Blanco et al., 2008). Impor- tantly, some students are at greater risk than others of experiencing stress and mental health problems. In one multisite study, the lifetime events most associated with current distress were witness- ing family violence, unwanted sexual attention, and sexual assault (Frazier et al., 2009). Sexual victimization has also been found to predict poorer academic performance and dropout among college women (e.g., Baker et al., 2016). Given that many counseling centers find it difficult to meet the demand for mental health services (Gallagher, 2014), alternative ways of delivering services to students are needed. Internet-based interventions (IBIs) are one such alternative. The goal of the present study was to assess the efficacy of low-cost online interventions for reducing stress and improving mental health for college students, including those at risk owing to prior exposure to witnessing family violence, un- wanted sexual attention, or sexual assault (referred to here as interpersonal trauma).
