National College Health Assessment (NCHA)

The survey asks about a variety of health and wellness topics. Questions typically focus on students’ experiences, behaviors, perceptions, and overall well-being. Students are encouraged to answer honestly so Gonzaga can gain an accurate understanding of student health needs. Some of the topics may include:

• Mental and emotional well-being

• Physical health and health behaviors

• Alcohol, cannabis, and other substance use

• Sexual and reproductive health

• Personal safety and violence prevention

• Health care access and utilization

The NCHA survey is confidential, not anonymous. Your survey response will be anonymized upon survey submission. The American College Health Association (ACHA) and Qualtrics go to great lengths to ensure that a student email address cannot be linked to the survey responses.

The Qualtrics software generates a unique survey link for each student on the mailing list. The unique survey link is connected to a randomly generated Response ID number. The link between a student email address and a Response ID number is stored on the Qualtrics server, is not accessible to ACHA, and is destroyed by Qualtrics upon survey submission. Only the Response ID number for any given student is recorded with their survey responses. The NCHA survey is set to PREVENT the collection of a student’s name, email address, and IP address with their survey submission.
