Abstract	Objective: Assessing and understanding the health needs and capacities of college students is paramount to creating healthy campus communities. The American College Health Association-National College Health Assessment (ACHA-NCHA) is a survey that ACHA developed in 1998 to assist institutions of higher education in achieving this goal. The ACHA-NCHA contains approximately 300 questions assessing student health status and health problems, risk and protective behaviors, and impediments to academic performance. Participants: The spring 2007 reference group includes ACHA-NCHA data from 71, 860 students at 107 institutions of higher education. Methods: Officials at participating institutions administered the ACHA-NCHA to all students, to randomly selected students, or to students in randomly selected classrooms. ACHA collected data between January and May 2007. Results: Results from the spring 2007 reference group (N= 71, 860) are presented. Conclusions: These data expand the understanding of the health needs and capacities of college students. (Contains 18 tables.) (Author).
