Institutions of higher education are in a unique position to promote healthy behaviors by providing health education to students, but little information exists about the proportion of students reached by such efforts. The authors used data from a nationally representative sample of college students to describe the extent to which students reported receiving health information from their colleges and universities, to examine the characteristics of students who received such information, and to determine specific sources of health information. Approximately three quarters of college students reported they received information on at least one health topic, and 6% received information on all of the topics examined. Those who reported receiving health information from their colleges or universities were likely to be "traditional" college students. To achieve relevant national health objectives, health educators must increase the proportion of students they reach and the number of health topics they cover.
高等教育机构在通过向学生提供健康教育来促进健康行为方面具有独特地位，但关于此类努力覆盖的学生比例的信息却很少。作者使用来自全国具有代表性的大学生样本的数据，来描述学生报告从其学院和大学获得健康信息的程度，研究获得此类信息的学生的特征，并确定健康信息的具体来源。大约四分之三的大学生报告称他们至少收到了关于一个健康主题的信息，6%的学生收到了所有所考察主题的信息。那些报告从学院或大学获得健康信息的学生很可能是“传统”大学生。为实现相关的国家健康目标，健康教育工作者必须提高他们覆盖的学生比例以及所涵盖的健康主题数量。
