National College Health Assessment
The National College Health Assessment III (NCHA) is a confidential nationally recognized research survey that assists Wake Forest University in collecting data about students’ health habits, behaviors, and perceptions. The information collected is used to inform and develop wellbeing programs and services for students. The Office of Wellbeing uses the survey results to plan programs and services to meet the needs of students. The Office of Wellbeing collaborates with campus stakeholders and the American College Health Association (ACHA) to coordinate these efforts.
The NCHA survey asks students about their attitudes and behaviors on topics such as:
- Alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use
- Injury prevention, personal safety, and violence
- Mental health
- Sexual health
- Sleep
- Weight, nutrition, and physical activity
The Office of Wellbeing conducts the NCHA every other year since it began in 2015. The most recent results are listed below:
