DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Community colleges provide an affordable way for millions of Americans to achieve their educational goals. Currently, 11.5 million students, 46% of all US undergraduates, are enrolled at community colleges. Many students are from low socioeconomic backgrounds and many work while attending college, both of which lead to a more challenging college experience. Indeed, many community college students do struggle academically, and a large proportion do not finish their program of study. An area of particular concern is community college students' health. As well as concerns about general health, many students binge drink, and there are particularly high rates of smoking, and use of marijuana, cocaine and amphetamines. Consequences for students include increased disease risk as well as an even more difficult learning experience. Arguably, this college population is in the greatest need of wellness and alcohol and other drug (AOD) prevention programming. However, community college students are, in a sense, an invisible population. They are virtually ignored in the literature; as such, students' health needs are not discussed, and indeed, are not met. Community college students are offered very few, if any, health resources. In part, community colleges cannot afford to provide extensive resources. But additionally, no commercial programs appear to be geared towards community college students. A cost effective, comprehensive wellness, and AOD prevention program is needed. It should specifically address the community college population, be tailored to specific needs of community college students, and serve as a link to community resources. We propose to develop an interactive, online health intervention for community college students focusing on wellness and AOD prevention. MyStudentBody-Community College will use Web 2.0 technology to offer students articles, skill- based courses, assessments, tools, courses, and links to community resources. It will be tailored to the individual needs of students by taking into account psychosocial, behavioral and demographic information provided by the student. Our review of available college health websites suggests that no site is tailored to community college students and it will thus represent a significant advance in healthcare options for community college students. The goals for the program are to: increase self-efficacy for managing stress; increase knowledge about AOD; increase wellbeing, and decrease alcohol and drug use. The content and intervention model will be developed through consultation with community college health staff, community college students, and institutional decision makers. Institutional decision makers will also be involved in developing implementation plans. We will use interviews to determine key domains of information. We will seek feedback from students, community college health staff, and institutional decision makers on the feasibility of the Phase I concept through a review of a demonstration program. If the program is successful, it will have a significant public health impact by improving the health of community college students. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Currently, 11.5 million students, 46 percent of all US undergraduates, are enrolled at community colleges. This college population is, arguably, in the greatest need of wellness and AOD prevention programming; however, community college students are offered very few, if any, health resources. We propose to develop an interactive, online wellness and AOD prevention website, which, if successful, will have a significant public health impact by improving the health of community college students.

描述（由申请人提供）：社区大学为数百万美国人实现其教育目标提供了一种负担得起的方式。目前，有1,150万学生，占美国本科生的46％，被录入社区大学。许多学生来自社会经济背景低下，并且在上大学时有许多工作，这两者都带来了更具挑战性的大学经历。确实，许多社区大学生在学术上确实在挣扎，很大一部分没有完成他们的学习计划。特别关注的领域是社区大学生的健康。除了对一般健康的担忧外，许多学生的饮料饮料，吸烟率特别高，使用大麻，可卡因和苯丙胺。对学生的后果包括增加的疾病风险以及更加困难的学习经验。可以说，该大学人口最需要健康，酒精以及其他药物（AOD）预防计划。但是，从某种意义上说，社区大学生是一个看不见的人群。在文献中，它们实际上被忽略了。因此，没有讨论学生的健康需求，实际上没有得到满足。提供社区大学生的健康资源很少（如果有的话）。在某种程度上，社区大学无力提供广泛的资源。但此外，似乎没有商业计划针对社区大学生。需要经济有效，全面的健康和预防AOD计划。它应该专门针对社区大学的人口，根据社区大学生的特定需求量身定制，并将其作为与社区资源的联系。我们建议为关注健康和预防AOD的社区大学生开发一种互动的在线健康干预措施。 MyStudentBody-Community College将使用Web 2.0技术为学生提供文章，基于技能的课程，评估，工具，课程以及指向社区资源的链接。通过考虑学生提供的社会心理，行为和人口统计信息，它将根据学生的个人需求量身定制。我们对可用大学健康网站的审查表明，没有针对社区大学生量身定制的网站，因此这将代表社区大学生的医疗保健选择的重大进步。该计划的目标是：提高自我效能来管理压力；增加对AOD的知识；增加福祉，减少酒精和吸毒。内容和干预模型将通过与社区大学卫生人员，社区大学生和机构决策者的咨询来开发。机构决策者还将参与制定实施计划。我们将使用访谈来确定信息的关键领域。我们将通过对示威计划的审查，向学生，社区大学卫生人员和机构决策者寻求有关I阶段概念的可行性的反馈。如果该计划成功，它将通过改善社区大学生的健康而产生重大的公共卫生影响。 公共卫生相关性：目前，有1,150万名学生，其中46％的我们的本科生都在社区学院招收。可以说，该大学的人口最需要健康和预防AOD计划；但是，社区大学生的卫生资源很少（如果有的话）。我们建议开发一个互动，在线健康和预防AOD网站，如果成功，该网站将通过改善社区大学生的健康而产生重大的公共卫生影响。
