Health practices and beliefs of college students: The impact of secondary health and nutrition education programs.
Harrison, Gloria M.

Health practices and beliefs of college students: The impact of secondary health and nutrition education programs. - 185 p.

Adviser: Connie W. Kieffer.

Thesis (Ed.D.)--Wilmington University (Delaware), 2008.

When students leave home to attend college, nutrition and physical education choices become their sole responsibility. Study and social demands leave many college students making food choices primarily on taste, convenience, or peer influence. With the increase in academic demands, less time is sought for physical activities. Studies revealed a significant weight increase was noted in students during their first semester in college. Studies also revealed that more than 60 percent of students exceeded the recommended intake of saturated fat and total fat daily. According to the CDC, the decrease of exercise, physical activity, and increase calorie and fat intake, puts freshman college students at a high risk of premature death of heart disease.

520 $a This descriptive research studied Delaware college freshmen and sophomore students' perceptions of nutrition and physical education received in Delaware high schools and its influence on their current eating and exercise behaviors. The College Nutritional Health Behavior Survey, a tool created and utilized at the University of North Florida to measure the diet and exercise of resident freshmen, was used in this study. The survey examined Delaware students' perception of their secondary nutrition and health programs on their current nutritional choices and fitness routines. Included in the study were survey items that measured students' knowledge of the newly developed wellness policy mandated by Congress.
520 $a The results indicated that some of the students believed their weight change was due to poor exercise habits. While many of the students surveyed were concerned about the quality of their meals, just as many believed their secondary school nutrition policy left a positive impression on their nutrition behaviors. The information retrieved from this study can beneficial to Delaware's Department of Education in developing or enhancing health classes and in assessing student's beliefs about the effectiveness of this education. The College Nutritional Health Behavior Survey can be a useful tool for clinical implications. It can be beneficial in assisting health care providers in assessing students at risk for obesity, the metabolic syndrome, and diet-related diseases.
