Participants completed a single post-intervention assessment to measure mindfulness (MAAS) and perceived stress (PSS-10). Qualitative data (n = 21) were also collected from the neurofeedback group to determine acceptability.Results: One-Way ANOVA revealed no statistically significant differences between the three groups on post-intervention mindfulness scores, F(2, 134) = 0.423, p = 0.656 or for perceived stress scores F(2, 134) = 0.269, p = 0.765.Conclusions: These findings suggest that the 8-week intervention, regardless of the method, was ineffective in producing statistically meaningful group differences. While acceptability was high, the inclusion of consumer-grade neurofeedback provided no measurable advantage over traditional guided meditation.","PeriodicalId":14900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American College Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147838057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants: Roughly 945 U.S. undergraduates. Materials and methods: Using survey data, we assess attitudes toward victim blame, the need for counseling, and the perceived impossibility of male sexual victimization. Results: Respondents generally reject male rape myths, but endorsement increases when the perpetrator is a woman, especially those implying the victim could have prevented the assault or does not require counseling. Women are more likely than men to reject myths, with gender gaps widening when the perpetrator is a woman. Racial differences are modest but consistent, with Black respondents showing somewhat higher myth acceptance, particularly those related to blame and legitimacy of male sexual victimization. Republicans were significantly more likely than Democrats to endorse male rape myths across perpetrator scenarios. Discussion: Results suggest that gendered, racialized, and partisan worldviews shape male rape myths.","PeriodicalId":14900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American College Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147838199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants: Data were collected in three phases from two public Southwestern universities: 131 undergraduate students in phase 1, 264 in phase 2, and 21 in phase 3 interviews. Methods: Phase 1 involved an online survey assessing alcohol use, sexual activity, and consent perceptions. Phase 2 tested campaign concepts, with students evaluating content effectiveness, alcohol-related beliefs, and sexual behaviors. Phase 3 refined and piloted \"Your Level\" vs. \"Their Level\" and \"Q&A Cards,\" through social media posts and online interviews. Results: Students exposed to the concept, \"Your Level\" vs. \"Their Level\" endorsed marginally lower intoxicated consent thresholds than those who were not, indicating an implicit understanding of its consent-related content. Students also emphasized normalizing alcohol and consent conversations and consistent language across campaigns. Both concepts were seen as effective in showing how alcohol impairs consent. Conclusions: Interventions should integrate alcohol and consent in communication efforts.","PeriodicalId":14900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American College Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147838102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Loneliness can negatively impact academic performance and overall well-being, while a strong sense of belonging has been associated with resilience and success. Greek affiliation often provides a community that fosters connection, shared identity, and support; factors that can impact loneliness and belonging. This study explored the differences in loneliness and belonging for Greek-affiliated and unaffiliated students, examining differences for gender, sexual orientation, and race/ethnicity by Greek affiliation status. Methods: The researchers analyzed the Spring 2023 National College Health Assessment using Chi-square analyses. Results: Overall, 50.8% of students screened positive for loneliness, and 88.3% reported a sense of belonging. Greek-affiliated students had significantly lower levels of loneliness and higher levels of belonging. Other results are discussed. Conclusions: Greek affiliation may serve as a protective factor against loneliness and enhance belonging across several demographic groups.","PeriodicalId":14900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American College Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147771812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A chi-square analysis was conducted to evaluate the association between legal status and ED risk.Results: No significant association was found between legal status and ED risk, χ2(1, 358) = 2.23, p = .14.Conclusions: Legal immigration status alone may not predict ED risk in Latinx immigrant students.

Researchers investigated how campus information, healthcare resources, and institutional climate influence their sexual health. Participants: Twenty-three LGBTQ+ undergraduates (ages 18-24) at a Midwestern university, reflecting diversity in sexual orientation and gender identity. Methods: Individual interviews were conducted using a semi-structured guide based on the World Health Organization's definition of sexual health. Data were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis, informed by queer theory. Results: Students reported open conversations about sexual health, readily available resources, and LGBTQ+ visibility as factors that facilitate positive sexual health. However, sexual health was hindered by the lack of inclusive information, limited access to culturally competent healthcare providers, structural barriers, and experiences of performative allyship and microaggressions. Conclusions: Although universities offer meaningful support, they frequently fail to provide the comprehensive resources and welcoming campus culture that LGBTQ+ students need to achieve and maintain optimal sexual health.","PeriodicalId":14900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American College Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147771906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
