Program Abstract:
This presentation uses data from the ACHA-NCHA to identify populations of students who are less likely to use campus mental health resources (e.g., men, athletes, students of color) and to identify primary areas of concern in these students, so that health promotion outreach efforts can be more effective. We discuss best practices cultural competency, behavioral health, and stigma reduction, and highlight successful programs in supporting diverse student populations.
