OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to identify the health topics students received information about, how students obtained health-related information, and perceived believability of those sources.
PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS
Students (N = 1202) were surveyed using the National College Health Assessment (NCHA) of the American College Health Association.
RESULTS
Nearly half (46%) of the sample reported not receiving any information, whereas only 0.5% received information on all health topics. The Internet was the most common source of health-related information, but, conversely, was perceived as the least believable source. Health center medical staff and university health educators were perceived to be the most believable sources.
CONCLUSIONS
Future practice at the university setting should focus on delivering health information through believable messengers utilizing the most commonly reported sources of information. This may have implications towards how students shape their health-related social cognitions and subsequent behaviors.
目的
本研究旨在确定学生获取健康信息的主题、途径，以及对这些信息源的信任程度。
参与者和方法
采用美国大学健康协会的国家大学生健康评估（NCHA）对 1202 名学生进行调查。
结果
近一半（46%）的样本报告未获取任何信息，而仅有 0.5%的学生获取了所有健康主题的信息。互联网是获取健康相关信息最常见的来源，但被认为是最不可信的来源。医疗中心医务人员和大学健康教育者被认为是最可信的信息源。
结论
未来在大学环境中的实践应侧重于通过可信的信息传递者，利用最常报告的信息来源来传递健康信息。这可能会影响学生形成其与健康相关的社会认知和随后的行为。
