BACKGROUND
More than one third of college students who are overweight or obese are in need of weight loss programs tailored to college students. However, the availability and accessibility of these programs is unknown.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study is to examine the availability and ease of access to weight loss programs for students at 10 universities with the largest undergraduate enrollment.
METHODS
The 10 public universities with the largest student bodies with a mean (SD) undergraduate enrollment of 41,122 (7657) students were examined. The websites of the universities were assessed to determine the availability of weight loss programs. Services for high-risk health needs common to university campuses (ie, alcohol and other drugs, victim services, sexual health, and eating disorders) were searched.
RESULTS
Of the universities searched, 3 (30%, 3/10) offered weight loss programming, however, none met the predetermined criteria. Comparatively, all schools (100%, 10/10) offered no-cost and continual enrollment programming for the other high-risk health needs.
CONCLUSIONS
There are limited weight loss services available to undergraduate students compared with other university services. Collaboration between existing college health service providers is suggested for the delivery of appropriate programming for overweight and obese undergraduates wanting to lose weight.
背景
超过三分之一的超重或肥胖大学生需要针对大学生的量身定制的减肥计划。然而，这些计划的可及性和可访问性尚不清楚。
目的
本研究旨在检查 10 所招生规模最大的公立大学的学生获得减肥计划的便利性。
方法
对本科生平均（SD）人数为 41122（7657）名的 10 所招生规模最大的公立大学进行了检查。评估了大学网站，以确定减肥计划的可用性。还搜索了针对大学校园常见的高风险健康需求（即酒精和其他药物、受害者服务、性健康和饮食失调）的服务。
结果
在所搜索的大学中，有 3 所（30%，3/10）提供减肥计划，但没有一所符合预定标准。相比之下，所有学校（100%，10/10）都提供免费且持续的针对其他高风险健康需求的入学计划。
结论
与其他大学服务相比，本科生可获得的减肥服务有限。建议现有高校卫生服务提供者合作，为希望减肥的超重和肥胖本科生提供适当的减肥计划。
