CREATION Health Assessment Tool for College Students (CHAT-CS)

Development and Psychometric Test of CREATION Health Assessment Tool for College Students

CREATION Health encompasses eight whole-person care principles: Choice, Rest, Environment, Activity, Trust, Interpersonal-Relationships, Outlook, and Nutrition. An existing initial tool consisting of 74 items related to the eight CREATION Health principles and college students' wellbeing were generated by subject/methodology experts. To develop the CREATION Health Assessment Tool for College Students (CHAT-CS), this initial tool needs to be finalized through item reductions and validations in the population of college students.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Health Behavior; Well Being
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: CHAT-CS Survey

Detailed Description

CREATION Health encompasses eight whole-person care principles: Choice, Rest, Environment, Activity, Trust, Interpersonal-Relationships, Outlook, and Nutrition.

Based on these principles, a health and wellness program, CREATION Health Wellness Program was developed. Since then various education/training plans using mind-body-spirit approaches have been implemented for different populations. Recently the Adventist Health System has plan to assess Adventist university students' health wellbeing and develop strategies to intervene and thus improve their overall wellbeing. However, literature review found that measures of these eight CREATION Health principles are often discrete and inconsistent. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive, consistent assessment tool.

An existing initial tool consisting of 74 items related to the eight CREATION Health principles and college students' wellbeing were generated by subject/methodology experts. To develop the CREATION Health Assessment Tool for College Students (CHAT-CS), this initial tool needs to be finalized through item reductions and validations in the population of college students.

Study Plan

How is the study designed?

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Establish reliability using Cronbach's alpha	Cronbach's (alpha) is a coefficient of reliability. The theoretical l value of the Cronbach's alpha varies from 0 to 1. A higher score indicates higher reliability.	Through December, 2018

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Item deduction	If an item is highly correlated with another item (item redundancy), consider removing one of the two items (correlation >.70); If an item is not correlated (<.30) with other items, then consider eliminating this item; If an individual item has a weak loading on all factors (.39 or less), consider removing; If an item has a high loading (.40 or more) on multiple factors, consider modification or elimination	Through May, 2019
