To analyze the literature in which researchers have utilized the National College Health Assessment (NCHA) I or the NCHA II.
The authors selected peer-reviewed articles published between 2004 and July 2013 utilizing a single search term: National College Health Assessment. Articles were assessed for instrument use, limitations, and data analyses.
The search resulted in 72 articles for inclusion. Researchers used the instrument to either conduct a primary investigation or utilize reference group data for secondary analysis. Researchers used many data analyses, statistical tests, techniques, and methods. Limitations of the instrument were consistently mentioned by researchers.
Results indicate limitations in the NCHA. To ensure college health professionals are gaining the best information possible regarding students on their campuses, specific improvements to the NCHA are recommended.
分析研究人员使用《美国大学健康评估》（NCHA）I 或 NCHA II 的文献。
作者使用单一搜索词“美国大学健康评估”，选取了2004年至2013年7月间发表的同行评审文章。对文章进行了工具使用、局限性及数据分析方面的评估。
搜索得到72篇纳入文章。研究人员使用该工具进行初步调查或利用参照组数据进行二次分析。研究人员采用了多种数据分析、统计检验、技术和方法。研究人员一直提及该工具的局限性。
结果表明NCHA存在局限性。为确保高校健康专业人员获得有关其校园内学生的尽可能最佳信息，建议对NCHA进行具体改进。
