Our
Successes
The results of the 2006 Health Promotion Survey are encouraging. A stable trend in the experience of negative consequences for first-year students continues to decrease. When looking at UVA students as a whole, all 17 of the measured negative consequences declined from 2001 to 2006.

Health
Promotion Survey and Report
In the spring of 1999, the Office of Health Promotion administered
the first Health Promotion Survey to a random sample of first-year
students. The survey combines items from many nationally recognized
and validated instruments and is designed to collect information about
students' alcohol-related behaviors, perceptions, attitudes and knowledge.
The survey was administered to first-year students again in the spring
of 2000. For the 2001 academic year, the survey was expanded to include
a random sample of all undergraduate students and was administered
via the World Wide Web. We continue to survey annually using a web
based survey and a random sampling method. To promote honesty in self-reporting,
the survey is confidential anonymous and participation is voluntary.

Media
Habits Survey and Report
The media habits survey was developed by the Office
of Health Promotion to determine the media habits of UVa undergraduates.
It is used to ascertain the most effective ways to reach UVa undergraduate
population with a media focused campaign. The survey is completed
each year and the data is collected and analyzed in order to update
the campaign. A purposive sampling of 101 UVa students were sampled
via intercept interviews in late Fall/Early Spring of the 2005-2006 school year using the 20 question
instrument to determine their media habits.

National
College Health Assessment Survey and Report
The National College Health Assessment (NCHA) is a
national, non-profit, research effort organized by ACHA to assist
health services providers, health educators, counselors and administrators
in collecting data about the health of their students. Developed by
an interdisciplinary team of college health professionals, the NCHA
was pilot tested in 1998-1999 and systemically evaluated with reliability
and validity analyses comparing common survey items with national
studies such as the National College Health Risk Behavior Survey (CDC).
The
NCHA allows the surveyor to generate measures of central tendency
(averages) and prevavlence for a variety of health issues. Data generated
by the survey can be used to better understand trends, identify emergeing
issues and evaluate current strategies.
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. Administration
of the NCHA survey is planned for every other year at UVA.
