College Health Center Usage and Perceptions

Meadowlands Assembly Hall, Dominican University of California

For my capstone project I plan to conduct original research, by creating a questionnaire and administering it to students at Dominican University using Survey Monkey. I plan to ask students about the factors that influence their decision to utilize the health center, if Dominican's discontinued health plan has affected student's health, and where students who are not using the health plan go to receive health care. I also plan on conducting in-depth interviews with student health center administrators from universities who offer comprehensive health services, like the ones offered at Dominican, to compare utilization rates and the variety of services offered.
