Provide an overview of the nationwide progress towards HC 2020. 4. Review the trends and report the results that have been made in college health as a result of the previous HC 2010 document and the new goals of HC 2020. 5. Probe the top ten impediments to academic performance. 6. Consider that all high schools can have a role in the HC 2020 agenda by becoming aware of and involved in the HC 2020 movement.

  7. Healthy Campus 2020 Mast

  8. HC 2020 Vision A campus community in which all members pursue long, healthy lives. Mission Healthy Campus 2020 will: • Identify nationwide health improvement priorities in higher education. • Increase awareness and understanding of determinants of health, disease, and disability and the opportunities for progress. • Provide measurable objectives and goals that can be used at institutions of higher education. • Engage multiple constituents to take actions to strengthen policies, improve practices, and empower behavior change that are driven by the best available evidence and knowledge. • Identify and promote relevant assessment, research and data collection needs.

  9. Overarching goals: • Create social and physical environments that promote health, safety and learning. • Support efforts to increase academic success, student retention and life long learning. • Attain high-quality, longer lives free of preventable disease, disability, injury, and premature death. • Achieve health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve the health of the entire campus community. • Promote quality of life, healthy development and health behaviors across all life stages.

  10. What is the ACHA-NCHA? • The ACHA-NCHA is a comprehensive college health questionnaire that provides important data about a wide variety of college health topics • These data can be used to: • Plan programs • Prioritize campus needs • Allocate resources • Design strategies for intervention • Identify protective and risk factors associated with academic performance • Measure progress on National Health Objectives

  11. National College Health Assessment • Report norms • Identify University retention and mission objectives • Health impediments to learning • Prioritize health care • Allergies, back pain, sinus infections, depression • Develop healthy campus initiatives • Evaluate strategies

  12. How the NCHA is Used Health Education Public Health Planning Model Policy Changes Health Promotion Initiatives

  13. Impediments to Academic Performance • Conditions adversely affecting academics • Stress • Sleep • Anxiety • Cold/Flu/Sore throat • Work • Internet use/computer games • Depression • Concern for troubled friend or family member • Relationship difficulties • Participation in extracurricular activities

  15. What We Know about Why Students Leave College…… • Health and psychosocial variables related to retention • Smoking • Drinking • Drugs • Health-related quality of life • Social support, and • Maladaptive coping strategies

  16. Recent college student research found….. • Students who participate in a health-related program or activity had statistically higher GPAs than those that did not participate. • Fifteen (15%) percent of the GPA variance can be explained by participation in a health-related program or activity.

  17. High School Students • Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS)

  18. Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) Monitors 6 types of health risk behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of death and disability among youth and young adults. • Behaviors contributing to unintentional injuries and violence. • Sexual behaviors that contribute to unintended pregnancy and STD/STIs. • AOD • Tobacco usage • Unhealthy dietary habits • Inadequate physical activity • Prevalence of obesity and asthma

  19. Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) • US high school students report. • 168 pages long. • Maryland high school student data. • Can be generated on the YRBSS website. • Secondary school health profiles. • 2013 YRBSS questionnaire is now available! • Give it to your students and contribute to the national data. • Use your own data to develop programs.

  20. What Changes Occur Between HS and College? • HS students who smoke cigarettes take their habits to college. • HS students who do drugs in HS take their habits to college and the drug usage increases in college. • Alcohol consumption increases between HS and college. • If a non-smoking college student has friends who are smokers, the non-smoker is more likely to start smoking during alcohol consumption, and become a daily smoker during college.

  21. 3 – 4 – 50 Principle 3 behaviors • Poor nutrition • Lack of physical activity • Tobacco use Cause 4 diseases • Heart disease/stroke • Cancer • Type 2 Diabetes • Respiratory conditions (i.e. asthma) And these 4 diseases result in 50% of all deaths!

  22. Conclusions • High school health education is very important to a positive college health education. • High school health education sets the stage for a healthy college experience. • Encourage your college bound students to complete the ACHA-NCHA survey when their college campus sends it out. • Encourage your college bound students to get involved in healthy activities on their college campus.

  23. Conclusions • College campuses have health education programs designed to keep their students healthy (better academics), keep them as a student (retention), and see them graduate (alumni). • College graduates make more money and are more likely to donate money back to their institution if they have graduated without bad health or negative health habits. • Smokers do not donate or do not donate as much money as a non-smoker graduate.

  24. High School and College health educators all have the opportunity to improve the health of the students within their classrooms, outside of their classrooms, and in the future of their lives.

  25. Prevention through education….we all have the responsibility!
