This fall University Health Services is implementing the NCHA Survey on our campus. If you receive an invitation to participate, we hope that you will do so.   1,800 students will be randomly selected to participate in the survey.  The data from this survey will help University Health Services to improve our programs and services by identifying the most important health concerns of our students. 

This is a web based survey. Data transmission is encrypted and firewall securities are in place. After you submit the survey to secure server, you will receive a message thanking you for taking the NCHA-Web. The final survey responses will be housed at ACHA. Again, the version of the data set that is forwarded to your institution will not include personal identification such as e-mail addresses or ID numbers.  To review the ACHA web security statement please click here. 

To encourage participation in the survey University Health Services will enter the name of each student who completes a survey into a raffle.  We will award the following prizes to three students: a $150.00 iTunes card, a one month parking pass and a $50 gift card to the UMB Bookstore.

If you wish to visit the ACHA/NCHA web site to learn more about the survey, please click here.

If you have questions about the implementation of the survey on this campus please contact Linda Jorgensen, Director, UHS Health Education and Wellness Program at 617-287-5680. 

This project has been approved by the UMass Boston Institutional Review Board.  Data from the survey will be made available on this web site.
