Efforts include promoting healthy lifestyles, routine screenings, and understanding the role of social determinants in chronic disease risk. • Sexual and Reproductive Health: covers education on topics related to sexual health, reproductive rights, and healthy relationships.

It includes promoting balanced diets, healthy eating habits, body positivity, and addressing issues like eating disorders and unhealthy body standards. Encouraging self-acceptance and physical activity for all body types is a key component. • Tobacco, Alcohol, & Drug Prevention: Focuses on educating the campus community about the risks associated with tobacco, alcohol, and drug use. It includes promoting prevention strategies, understanding addiction, harm reduction practices, and connecting students to support services for substance use or recovery.
