“Healthy Person Project©” Student Population Results

Populations: 332 liberal arts college students (85% freshmen); 58 medical students; 198 graduate and undergraduate nursing students).

Medical and nursing students were more inclined to see the home as the future epicenter for preventive health care then were the college students (75%/83% versus 21%).
Medical students were more likely to identify the individual as responsible for the medical record (68% versus 22%). Nursing students fell in between (34%).
Medical and nursing students were more strongly supportive of full transparency of medical research results (77%/66% “strongly agree” or “agree”) than were the college students (50% “strongly agree” or “agree”).
Medical students and college students were more trusting of sharing their medical information with insurers (28% and 34%) than were the nursing students (19%).
All three groups predicted that home-centered care would dominate in preventive care delivery. College students saw a larger role for schools, with 21% of all strategic actions categorized as school based versus 13% for the medical students and 12% for the nursing students.
Medical and nursing students showed a greater degree of “medicalization” of their strategic health plans than did the college students, categorizing their chosen actions as medical tests or procedures 43% and 46% of the time compared to college students 16%.
In assessing institutional organization readiness and the potential impact of new approaches, approximately 1/3 of all three student populations responded “not sure” when queried regarding institutional readiness to embrace new models for health wellness and prevention.
All study groups appeared to be interested in exploring this topic area further with 82% of the medical students, 80% of the nursing students, and 72% of the college students either strongly agreeing or agreeing with statements in support of further exploration of these concepts on campus.
