Identification of Health Risk Factors Among Undergraduate University Students

Abstract

The tensions and anxieties which university students experience and their unhealthy mechanisms for coping with them have come to the attention of the nursing faculty at the University of Windsor. There exist on campus the usual student services, including Dean of Students, Medical Officer, University Chaplins, and Psychological Centre where students may go for assistance with their problems. Other programmes such as the recreational and exercise activities at the Faculty of Human Kinetics, stress and health hazard appraisals at the School of Nursing, and occasional alcohol and drug abuse forums are also available.
