Summary:College students are vulnerable to risks associated with unhealthy behaviors. Considering the role that colleges play in facilitating lifelong health and wellness behaviors of college students, health-related fitness (HRF) courses are being offered using multiple delivery formats. To better understand the relationship between course delivery format and perceived wellness, Milroy et al assess perceived wellness among college students who self-selected into various delivery formats of a required university HRF course. They used the Perceived Wellness Survey due to its previously established reliability and validity for college populations. Results show that students with higher perceived wellness were more likely to be enrolled in online and hybrid course formats rather than face to face.
