Participants: The participants were a stratified random sample of 5,300 students from Kansas State University, with 528 fully completed surveys, representing a 10% completion rate. Methods: A 25-item survey assessed demographics and perceptions, with data dimensionality reduced using principal component analysis (PCA), revealing five factors. Linear regressions identified associations between student characteristics and attitudes. Results: Most respondents were female (67%), aged 18-25 years (89%), white (87%), late undergraduates (53%), and omnivorous (92%). College affiliation (p < .01) and self-reported dietary eating patterns (p < .05) were consistently associated with perceptions of red meat and dairy. Race/ethnicity (p < .01), agricultural knowledge (p < .05), and population size (p < .01) also showed significant associations with specific perceptions of red meat and dairy. Conclusions: Students affiliated with the College of Agriculture and those with omnivorous diets had more positive views on red meat and dairy compared to others. Despite trends toward plant-based diets, students at this land-grant institution generally viewed red meat and dairy positively.","PeriodicalId":14900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American College Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143657264","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}

As expected, hope had a suppressing effect on Waves 1-&-2 depression and mediated the opposite roles of peritraumatic emotions on both. Prayer coping mediated positive paths from Black participants.Conclusion: Bayesian-SEM results reinforced the lasting protection of hope against post-disaster depression and indicated greater reliance on spirituality to cope among Black student volunteers.","PeriodicalId":14900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American College Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143656641","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}

Methods: Students completed an online survey in spring 2021. Differences in health behaviors and outcomes based on disability status were estimated using linear and logistic regression models. Results: College students with invisible disabilities reported worse health than neurotypical students across a range of health behaviors and outcomes, for both physical and mental health. Students with mental health conditions reported worse health most consistently. There were few gender differences. Conclusions: Health-related programming targeted to students with invisible disabilities has received little attention in research on college student health. As this population grows, we recommend that institutions develop programs to address their specific health-related challenges and needs.","PeriodicalId":14900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American College Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143615594","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}

Methods: In Study 1, participants engaged in a hypothetical provider visit and completed a survey. In Study 2, participants completed a survey following their visit to a health center. Results: In both studies, linear regression revealed that health promotion focus related to more-positive affective responses to providers and satisfaction with providers.

This study fills this gap by examining how maintenance over communication technologies with pre-college and in-college friends is associated with freshmen's social adjustment to college, via two psychological processes: social support and belongingness. Participants and Methods: 194 college freshmen completed online surveys. Results: Path analyses show that maintaining friendships with pre-college friends over communication technologies was positively associated with freshmen's perceptions of social support but negatively associated with their social adjustment. Using communication technologies to maintain friendships with college peers was associated with higher perceived belongingness, and, in turn, better social adjustment. Conclusions: Communication technologies may assist or hinder freshmen's social adjustment to college. University staff may find ways to use technology to improve programs aimed at combatting loneliness and enhancing friend-making at college.","PeriodicalId":14900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American College Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143615603","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 and Methods: Undergraduate and graduate students (N = 875) responded to a comprehensive online survey, including a 14 item University Environment Scale (UES). Results: Results revealed a small but significant effect on academic major choice for some students and a substantial impact on participation in extracurricular activities, particularly for students in larger bodies. Additionally, experienced weight stigma was significantly correlated with decreased self-esteem, decreased comfort in the body, and a less favorable university experience for students.

Method: Participants completed a survey about their drinking frequency, preferences, expectations, and behaviors. Results: Drinkers higher in MHB had higher alcohol consumption, preferred beer and dark liquor, and reported feeling more social, relaxed, and confident when drinking. They were also more inclined to take risks, play and win drinking games, outdrink others, and avoid a feminine drinking reputation. Men higher in MHB were less concerned with knowing their drinking limits and embarrassing themselves while drunk.

Results: Results, based on a mediation model, suggested that more adverse childhood experiences were associated with higher levels of psychological inflexibility, which, in turn, were associated with residual increases in students' symptoms of insomnia across the two months of the study.
