Fostering Student Well-being through
Healthy Campus 2020• Well-being of students is a growing
concern • Current status of students’ well-being
in the college environment• How institutions of higher education
are promoting safe and nurturing environments that foster student well-being
Well-being is a growing concern for higher education, parents and the
public• Depressed mood is negatively correlated with academic
performance.1
• Late wake-up times are associated with lower GPAs in first-year students.2
• There are elevated risks for alcohol-related educational problems among binge drinkers.3
• More negative health behaviors prevalent in midrange students than high performing students.4
• Some health and psychosocial variables (smoking, drinking, health-related quality of life, social support, and maladaptive coping strategies) are related to retention. 5
• Classroom attendance, retention and grade point average are correlated to utilization of health services in a study of economically disadvantaged first year students.6
Current status of students’ well-being
• Over 58% of college students described their health as very good or excellent
• Over 91% of college students described their health as good, very good or excellent
• Over 70% report regularly going to the dentist
• Less than 2% of students report being diagnosed with and STD

• Nearly 20% report anxiety negatively impacts their academics
• Over 11% report internet use negatively impacts their academics
• Over 35% report doing something they regretted after drinking alcohol

NCHA FSU Data, 2013
Limitations of existing data
• Are students “dieting” or “exercising” in an extreme or harmful manner?
• Current data only includes students who report being diagnosed
• Subclinical behaviors are often undiagnosed and untreated
Initiatives• Gather additional data
– Employ the Healthy Bodies Survey instrument
• To evaluate current behaviors, attitudes and concerns of the students
• To Identify target populations and specific initiatives to address these concerns
Initiatives• Utilize a primary prevention campus-
wide curriculum– Develop (or adopt) a curriculum and
facilitate discussion “Battling the Pressures of a Thin-obsessed, Diet-obsessed Society”
– Pilot the curriculum with various student groups (Housing, Sororities, Campus Rec student staff)

Public Health Approach to Mental Health
• FSU provides high quality mental health services and treatment
• Prevention should focus on changing cultural norms and increase help seeking behavior.
• Efforts should identify students at risk, assist in the development of life skills, and promote social networks.
