College Student Mental Health Action Toolkit
[7.9.2020]The Impact of COVID-19 on College Student Well-Being
The Healthy Minds Network, which runs the Healthy Minds Study (HMS), in collaboration with the American College Health Association, which runs the National College Health Assessment (ACHA-NCHA), developed a new set of survey items related to students’ experiences with the COVID-19 pandemic. The new items focused on students’ attitudes, concerns, preventive behaviors, and their perceived supportiveness of college and universities related to COVID-19. These items were fielded to random samples of college students on participating campuses across the United States between March and May 2020.

Follow this link to view the current COVID-19 survey questions-HMN |ACHA COVID-19 Survey Questions. These questions were designed as an elective module, and may be included in your institution’s iteration of HMS in addition to the 3 core modules. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, HMN is working with experts and health officials to revise and refine the COVID-19 module so that it may be most relevant and timely for students in the Fall and Spring. If your campus has any questions, suggestions or recommendations for additional measures to include in the COVID-19 module for Fall 2020, please contact hms-coordination@umich.edu.
