Check your inbox: Take the K-State Health and Well-being Survey
A random sample of 10,000 K-State students will receive an email on Sunday, April 7, with the subject line "Take the K-State Health and Well-being Survey."
The National College Health Assessment is a web-based, nationally recognized survey used by more than 740 colleges and universities to make improvements in health and well-being programs offered on campus. Students should check their K-State email on April 7 to see if they were invited to participate.
The opening date is April 7, and the survey closes on April 27. Students who complete the survey are entered into a drawing for Amazon gift certificates.
10,000 students were randomly selected from the K-State Manhattan campus. The survey received IRB No. 11892.
What is the format? Selected students receive an email inviting them to participate in the confidential survey that takes about 30 minutes to complete.
How will Lafene Health Center use the confidential information?
- Identify the most common health and behavior risks affecting students' academic performance.
- Design or expand evidence-based health and well-being promotion programs with targeted educational and environmental initiatives.
- Influence the campus culture by opening a dialogue about health and well-being with students and staff.
- Evaluate our programming efforts by conducting repeat administrations of the survey. Lafene administered this survey in spring 2018, spring 2020 and spring 2022.
