Health Assessment Information
During the 2001-02
academic year the Office of Health Education (OHE) carried out an
assessment and evaluation process designed to establish health promotion
priorities for the University of Pennsylvania student population
and thus, resource allocation priorities for the office. A key feature
of the process was its focus on how health issues impacted students’
academic performance.
Based on the
information collected OHE identified several priorities for the
coming years.
