Detailed description: The aim of Health Surveillance 2025 is to analyze and describe the state of health of students at Constructor University (CU), key influencing factors and individual resources. In areas where there is a need for action, the Health Surveillance can provide detailed insights and/or in-depth analyses. The Health Surveillance thus provides information on health-related topics and delivers scientifically sound information as a basis for health-promoting discussions in the subsequent follow-up process at various levels (e.g. faculties and departments). In addition, the Health Surveillance 2025 at CU contributes to comparability with surveys at other German universities through the use of validated and standardized measuring instruments.

Main hypotheses are

1. The Health Surveillance 2025 gives insights into state of health of students at CU, key influencing factors and individual resources.
2. With the Health Surveillance 2025 the health-promotion at CU can be guided and promotion of mental health (including the reduction of loneliness and discrimination) can be strengthened.
3. The health of students, their perceived loneliness and discrimination/minorization (disadvantage) interrelates with participation in health promoting activities?
4. Recommendations can be derived for qualification and skills training of multipliers for health-promoting behavior (e.g., J-peers)?
