Healthy Campus 2020
Is Eastern likely to achieve the goals set for Healthy Campus 2020? First, Healthy Campus is based off of the Healthy People initiative; but is for specifically college students.

We can then all meet up and discuss next steps. (Map-IT Framework)

(Map-IT Framework) I believe stress/depression needs to be addressed, as well as physical activity, healthy eating, sexual health knowledge, and drug/tobacco use. Comparatively, eating well, exercising, and getting enough sleep can help the process of stress and depression to somewhat lesson. (Coping with Stress, 2015) Also, two and a half hours of physical activity, as well as eating healthy, having balanced meals, and protecting/getting tested for STDS are also important characteristics to stay on top of.
