  • Online Physical Activity & Health Behavior Survey

    We Need Your Help

    Volunteers Needed for a Research Study on Physical Activity Preferences and Health Behaviors in College Students

    We are conducting a study that aims to refine a rapid tool to screen and test health messages for physical activity among college students. We are asking for your voluntary and confidential participation in an online survey that can assist us in creating this tool.  The online survey should take approximately 25 minutes to complete. Following completion of the survey you will be able to enter into a raffle to receive a $20 Wal-Mart Gift card

    The survey includes questions regarding:

    • What physical activities and foods you like or dislike
    • Health behaviors (physical activity, diet, body image)
    • Health concerns (stress, sleep, weight)
    • Non-identifiable information (age, gender, ethnicity, student/alumna status) 

    Your responses will be compiled with other responses to help us refine and improve the tool to screen for physical activity.  The refined tool can be used to provide guidance for future health promotion programs at UConn.

    Eligibility criteria:

    • Must be a student at the University of Connecticut
