Overview
Health risk behaviors are gaining more attention as predictors of health and educational outcomes. African American college-aged students face multiple cardiometabolic conditions resulting from health risk behaviors, including stress, diet, sedentary lifestyles, and substance abuse. College health and wellness initiatives can reduce risky behaviors and health care costs, and potentially increase student success. The findings reveal significant health disparities in this population, which present dire consequences in the era of COVID-19.
