G-6: Bridge to Health: A Pilot Support Program Designed to Increase Exercise Behaviors as Treatment for
Students with Mental Health Concerns
Abstract: The Bridge to Health is an exercise support program for students with mental health symptoms. The BTH links students who experience a variety of barriers to regular exercise with a personal trainer who works in conjunction with the mental health and health providers. Barriers can include low socio-economic status, low exercise efficacy, and mental health symptoms. The BTH trainer works with students individually and in a group to address and overcome these barriers.

G-7: Results and Lessons of the “Get More Sleep!” Campaign: A Campus-Wide Intervention to Change the
Sleeping Habits of College Students
Abstract: Sleep has been shown to be a factor that affects academic performance, depression, anxiety, and mood in college students. For this reason, a number of professionals have recommended the implementation of sleep quality monitoring and sleep hygiene education on college campuses. The “Get More Sleep!” Campaign sought to make students aware of the all- encompassing effects of sleep, and to educate students on what good sleep hygiene entails, through a week-long, campus- wide intervention, made possible with the funds from the 2013 NECHA grant. In our presentation, we will: 1) Review and talk about the state of student sleep in the U.S., 2) discuss the results of the campaign, and 3) discuss the implications of our results, and the current literature, and how they could help colleges and universities with their approach to improving student health.
