Mental health concerns. High levels of stress. Poor diet. Poor sleep habits. College can be a very stressful time for young adolescents. The transition from home to college can be difficult and stressful for many students and many college students are not ready for this change. College also marks a period of life of extended freedoms that may not have been available before. These freedoms can lead to poor health habits and poor life choices, which may be sustained throughout college. On top of poor lifestyle habits, many students are under immense pressure to excel academically. With all of these pressures to excel academically, socially, and sometimes athletically, it's clear that this may have an effect on a young adolescent. A study by Hudd and colleagues found that students under greater stress also exhibit lower levels of self-esteem and reduced perceptions of their health status. As a future wellness professional, I am very interested in further investigating student health habits and creating a program that can optimize health and well-being on a college campus.

Possible Driving Questions: 
1) What environmental changes can be made at the university/college level (via enhanced communicative and marketing strategies) to improve overall levels of student health and wellness?

2) What environmental changes can be implemented to create a culture of health and reduce levels of stress on a university/college campus?]]> 2018-09-17 01:56:01 UTC https://padlet.com/coopmt06/4cjyl50slqto/wish/282076951 mcooper1368 https://padlet.com/coopmt06/4cjyl50slqto/wish/287210340 2018-09-29 13:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/coopmt06/4cjyl50slqto/wish/287210340 mcooper1368 https://padlet.com/coopmt06/4cjyl50slqto/wish/287211062 https://www.collegeraptor.com/find-colleges/articles/student-life/11-colleges-putting-health-wellness-first/
