National College Health Assessment Survey

“Since 1920, the American College Health Association (ACHA) has been the principal leadership organization for advancing the health and well-being of college students and campus communities. We are a collaborative community where members can address issues important to their work, and we provide research, advocacy, resources, and education to support higher education professionals and their institutional missions.” (ACHA, 2025) Learn more about the ACHA.

The ACHA-National College Health Assessment (NCHA) is a nationally recognized research survey that can assist in collecting precise data on a wide range of health and wellness issues that impact the student population and affect academic performance. (ACHA, 2025)  This survey, implemented at UB every three-years, assists the university with upholding the Standards of Practice in Health Promotion in Higher Education Standards of Practice in Health Promotion. The survey measures the health behaviors and perceptions of UB students to guide future programming, initiatives and policy revision to advance student health and academic success and create an institutional and community climate of health and social justice.
