NCHA Survey

The National College Health Assessment is a survey that is conducted in partnership with the American College Health Association, a national advocacy, research and education organization that focuses on college student health and wellness. The survey will ask about your health behaviors, attitudes, and experiences (covering topics such as mental health, nutrition, sexual health, exercise, sleep, substance use, and more). The survey is conducted every two years. 

Your responses will provide the data needed to inform funding, policy, and practice for physical and mental health and wellness programs and services at BU, which will benefit all students. Understanding student behaviors and hearing your feedback will help us make sure health and wellness offerings meet student needs. 

Look for an email from shsinfo@bu.edu on February 13, 2023 inviting you to participate.

Your responses will remain confidential and de-identified from your name or other personal details. Survey responses will be shared with campus administrators in the aggregate (in other words, as a large group).

One in three BU undergraduate and graduate students will be randomly selected to participate. If you are not selected but still wish to provide feedback or suggestions for mental health services and resources at BU, please complete the SHS feedback form.

No, these are different surveys being implemented this semester. The Belonging & Culture survey is a University-wide effort to measure campus climate (including some aspects of wellbeing) and identify successes and opportunities for improvement. All BU students can take the Belonging & Culture survey beginning on February 21st. Learn more.
