Abstract
In this paper, the author attempt to suggest that a health promotion program in higher education can be successful by using a needs and interest survey of the participants.
In order to suggest that this research question is plausible, the author initially provides background information on health promotion and higher education. Included are definitions of terms related to health promotion and wellness and the status of Healthy People 2000.
A review of the literature is included to establish current health promotion programs. Attention is given to related areas of rising costs. This is followed by a theoretical orientation of effective program and characteristics.
The methodology for evaluation of a health promotion program in higher education is a needs and interest survey. The results are then presented suggesting a program model and practical aspects of the program to make it successful.
