The purpose of this class is to provide undergraduate students with the opportunity to identify best practices in campus wellness and to research current issues, messages, programs and curriculum in key campus health areas. Students will assist in compiling background literature reviews, classroom materials, and national campus best practices for the following campus health areas: alcohol and drug misuse; sexual behaviors that may result in HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, and unintended pregnancies; nutritional habits and physical activity; tobacco use, and violence, sexual assault and injury prevention; and stress management. In addition, the student will develop an understanding of the cultural specificity of these health areas by gender, sexual orientation, nationality, ethnicity and physical and mental abilities.
