National College Health
Assessment
The NCHA is a national, non-profit
research effort organized by the American College Health Association
to assist health care providers, health educators, counselors, and
administrators in collecting data
about the health of their students.
The NCHA contains approximately
300 questions that assess health status and health problems,
risk and protective
behaviors, access to health information, impediments to academic performance,
and perceived norms across a variety of content areas including:
injury
prevention, personal safety and violence; alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use;
sexual health; weight, nutrition, and exercise; and mental health.
We last conducted the NCHA in
classrooms during the fall semester of 2006.
