Stella Said:

We Answered:

Alcohol and drug abuse
==================
Advice and counselling

Mental health - depression and anxiety
==============================
Advice and councelling needs. 24 hour helpline. Also may be dietary problems. Are the canteens serving good food? Is there assistance for students with financial and educational problems. Is there assistance for accomadation problems?

Sexual health
===========
Advice, free condoms etc.

General Health.
============
Is the campus health centre being well used. Does it need advertising and are the doctors welcolming? The health centre should have a santorium for student needing bed rest and regular monitoring. At exam time some students stay in the sanatorium because of anxiety problems. It also isolates students with infectious diseases such as glandular fever to prevent an epidemic.

Physical Fitness
=============
Is there good access to sporting facilities. At my university ALL new students were required to sign up for a recreational sporting activity for the first term. this helped students socialise as well as getting them into the sports centre.

The first step to improving things is to audit the students needs. The health centre can provide statistics on varirous health problems. Lecturers can give out feedback forms at the end of each term. Even monitoring trends in exam results can indicate rising problems.

Having identified the problems, then you need to educate the students. Advertise free lectures, hold promotional events and parties. Make it fun and do not preach to students, then they will listen to the message.

Leaflets should be available on sexual health, mental health, drugs, diet and infectious diseases.

There should be bathing facilities on campus for those who need them.

I should point out that I haven't come across an English University where poor student health has been a big problem. University campuses provide everything the students might need.
