College Health Group Expands Assessments to Faculty, Staff

Campus employees need to be supported as well as students

An association focused on improving health and wellness on college campuses is expanding its assessment tools beyond students.

The American College Health Association’s (ACHA) new National Faculty and Staff Health Assessment (NFSHA), announced this week, builds on the association’s research initiatives focused on students’ health habits and behaviors. By broadening the approach to include faculty and staff, ACHA hopes to better support overall campus health.

“To fully support student health and success, campus employees need to be supported in their own health and wellness,” ACHA Chief Research Officer Mary Hoban, Ph.D., said in a news release. “The ACHA-NFSHA can provide more accurate insight into the areas where an institution can make strides to improve the health of its employees.”
