This AAHPERD Research Symposium session will: 1. Expose the attendees to the ACHA-NCHA research databank. 2. Provide ideas and examples of how this ongoing study can be utilized by a university in the quest for a required health education course within the university graduation requirements. 3. Provide ideas and examples of how this ongoing study can be applied to the overall structuring of a required health education course. 4. Provide ideas and examples of how health education faculty can used their campuses’ result to develop programming. 5. Provide ideas and examples of how campus data can be used to compare and contrast past and present students. 6. Provide ideas and examples of how campus data can be used to compare their results with the national data. 7. Provide ideas and examples of how the databank can be used within a health education curriculum (i.e. health education methods and materials; health education theory; consumer health education; health education programming; and internships). Abstract: The American College Health Association developed the National College Health Assessment Study and began gathering data twice per year starting in 2000. Colleges/universities from across the USA (n=274) have had their students (n-165,000) participate in this comprehensive research effort. Participation has been strictly voluntary by both the colleges/universities and the students from those institutions. The uses for this data bank include: (1) applicable by student health centers as they develop health education programming; (2) useful to an academic department that is trying to promote a graduation required Health Education course; (3) health education faculty can use their campus data to help structure the health education courses; (4) campus data can be used within the health education course to compare and contrast the students who answered the survey and those in the courses who have not, as well as to compare to the national data results. College health education practitioners have prevention through education as their primary emphasis. Classroom educators also have the opportunity to improve the health of the students within their classrooms. This survey and its ongoing results can be utilized in this process. This research symposium will offer ideas for further exploration of its application and usage within the health education curriculum.
