Student Health & Wellness Data
Health & Wellness Survey (HWS)
Campus Health has been surveying UA students on a range of health indicators for over 30 years. We use data from our Health & Wellness Survey to help improve programs throughout Campus Health, to share with other departments on campus, and to better improve the health of our community.
Methods
We collect the HWS survey in randomly selected classrooms each spring semester (mid-February to early March), with the support of UA faculty. It is administered digitally using Qualtrics in the classroom (in-person or over zoom), and on the D2L sites of asynchronous courses. We work hard to sample an accurate cross-section of UA students, to give us the most accurate picture of the health of our students possible.
- But wait – you didn’t survey everyone! How can I believe the data if only a small percentage of UA students take the survey?
In fact, the sample size we attain each year is well above what is needed to tell us, with good confidence, that what students are reporting reflects the behaviors of the student body as a whole. A quick sample size calculation shows that at a 95% confidence level, plus or minus 3% for margin of error, we would only need a sample of 1,041 for a population of 43,000 (we typically get more than 4,000).
