About Us

Community Health is committed to using effective, research-based strategies to promote health at CU.  This requires continual planning, implementation, evaluation and revision of the department’s programs.

Our work is guided by the standards set forth by:

• The Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS)
• Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC)
• American College Health Association (ACHA)

In addition, the educational programs and materials that we create are grounded in the following evidence-based health promoting approaches:

• Positive Deviance
• Health Disparities
• Trans Theoretical Change Model
• Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction
• Health Communications (social marketing, social norms)
