Professor Walid El Ansari is the UK coordinator for the CNSHS, a cross-national study assessing the different aspects of health status and health promoting or injuring behaviours among students from many European countries. The Faculty of Sport, Health and Social Care at the University of Gloucestershire is one of the coordinating centers for this study, and during the past year, about 3000 students from 7 universities in the United Kingdom completed the survey. Some of the health parameters and behavioural dimensions being assessed include: self rated health; health challenges and complaints; sources of strains and burdens; feelings and thoughts; relationships; mental health, depressive symptoms and stress; nutrition; physical activity; tobacco and alcohol consumption; as well as students’ quality of and attitude to life. The study was initiated at Bielefeld University, Germany.
