Procedures
Prior to IRB approval, instructors of all the face to face
sections of the Health and Wellness course were contacted
to obtain approval to distribute the survey during their class.
After IRB approval, the pen and paper questionnaire was
administered by a graduate student during the last week of the
fall 2011 semester, at the beginning of class periods in Health
and Wellness course sections. Participation was voluntary and
the survey was anonymous. Students did not include their name
or class section on the questionnaire. All section responses
were analyzed together to protect student anonymity. Course
instructors were only provided summary results at the end of
the study.
