The Importance of Multicultural Variation in Planning College Student Health Programs

William McCaughrin

Trinity University

Multicultural college student populations are becoming the norm on many campuses across the nation. Detecting multicultural variation in students'health beliefs, behaviors, andpreferred method of receiving health education information permits efficient program targeting. Results from a recent survey of students attending a large midwestern university are described. The survey results are stratified by students' race and ethnicity. Results indicate statistically significant variation exists among fourmulticultural student subgroups on topics such as student health knowledge of alcohol and drugs, HIV/AIDS and STDs, condom purchasing, and preferred media modefor receiving health information. Implications for college students, health education program planners, and policymakers are discussed.
