Study of College Health Behaviors

The Harvard School of Public Health's College Alcohol Study will expand this year to become the Study of College Health Behaviors and will include an online version of its survey to allow more college students to participate.

The next national survey,which will begin in the Spring of 2004, will cover an wider range of health-related topics while continuing to include the key drinking measures of the original College Alcohol Study, which has been conducted for 10 years.

"Harvard researchers collaborate with a network of experts from other universities, government agencies, and other organizations to investigate the determinants of health among college students, evaluate programs, communicate scientific findings, and inform public policy agendas," according to the CAS web site.

The CHB will investigate health threats to young people in the vulnerable transition from adolescence to adulthood, whether these threats to health lie in personal history, personal conduct, or in the larger social, physical or policy environment, CAS says.
