University Health Report

According to the "Public Health Action Cycle", the analysis of student health is an essential pillar of health management. In order to analyze the health status and health behavior of RPTU students, the extensive survey of the "University Health Report" (UHR) was conducted in cooperation with the FU Berlin in 2015, 2018 and 2021. An average of 1,200 RPTU students in Kaiserslautern participated in the surveys. Through these surveys, a detailed alignment of the student health management concept and the corresponding measures to the specific needs of the students has become possible on a valid data basis. The results of the three survey years are compared with each other and put into relation with a nationwide comparative sample. For the year 2024, an expansion of the survey to the entire RPTU with students from Landau is planned.

The survey results are presented both in the form of a report and graphically in the form of posters.
