Assessment
SJSU Student Affairs uses information from campuswide student surveys to align health and well-being services with student needs and goals. Learn more about our students’ needs and goals in the following executive summaries.
National College Health Assessment
Developed by the American College Health Association and administered in conjunction
with the CSU Chancellor’s Office, the National College Health Assessment (NCHA) survey
provides students with a confidential opportunity to share their behaviors, attitudes,
and perceptions related to a broad range of relevant health topics. Topics include,
but are not limited to: sleep, exercise, nutrition, alcohol and drug use, sexual health,
basic needs, and utilization of campus services. SJSU has participated in the NCHA
survey since 2009.

Healthy Minds Study
The Healthy Minds Network (HMN) conducts an annual web-based survey, the Healthy Minds
Study (HMS), to examine mental health, service utilization, and related issues among
undergraduate and graduate students. The study features core modules on demographics,
mental health status, and help-seeking behavior, with additional elective modules
available on topics such as substance use, sleep, and academic stress. Institutions
participating in HMS can use the data to enhance mental health services and compare
their findings with peer institutions.
