In the summer of 1976, I joined the Department of Community Medicine at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, and in collaboration with Pertti J. Pelto, began the development of community linkages and community health research in the Hartford area. From the perspective of anthropological adaption to a medical school, our objectives in developing these activities were to: 1. Develop Jinks with citizen groups involved in health action, and through those links provide assistance and access to research and other resources of the university. 2. Develop settings within which medical anthropology students, masters students in community health, and medical students could learn basic principles related to the influence of a social context on health status and health care utilization and the function of applied research in health and community development. 3. Establish for anthropologists a realm within which to develop data, advocacy and demonstration projects in order to illustrate problems, shortcomings and new directions in the health status of underserved sectors of the population, in the organization of the health care system, and in the traditional education of medical students. 4. To begin to break down the barriers which create the separate realities of the university and the community in order to facilitate adequate exchange of educational resources, cooperative action and mutual learning.

The purpose of the study is to assess the health status of the 1st – 4th year students in the Department of Drama using the G. Apanasenko method. The somatic health condition determines the incidence of diseases, the performance of students, and their future vocational opportunities. Monitoring the condition of students is an important component of the physical education system implemented at the universities of theater studies in the framework of "Physical education" and "Stage movement" disciplines. Methods and organization of research. The paper presents the results of the survey (September 2020) covering 43 students aged 17-21 years (25 boys and 18 girls) using the G. Apanasenko express method of assessing health condition. The authors measured main vital signs (body length and weight, heart rate, blood pressure, VC, EPOC, post-exercise recovery period) and obtained overall assessment of health condition of each student and its individual indices (mass, vital, strength, Robinson). Research results and their discussion. The research revealed that 53.5% of students have average level of health indicator. However, only 51.2% of indicators fall within the zone of healthy values, while the remaining 48.8% stay below the safe limit. The indicators of 61.1% of girls are in the safe zone, while only 44% of boys fall within this segment. There is a decrease in health indicators of students by the 4th year of study, which is the result of a decrease in their sport activities due to the lack of "Physical education" and "Stage movement" special disciplines. Analysis of the calculated indices highlighted the challenging components of the overall health assessment. Power index provided the lowest indicators. Girls have higher indicator values than boys, as well as the life index indicators. Conclusion. The revealed facts contribute to determination of the direction of further research aimed at the refinement of educational programs on physical education and stage movement.

Objective: To initiate the research process of investigating how pharmacy education affects the health status of pharmacy students. Design: Student functioning and well-being were assessed within two pharmacy classes at two points in time. Setting: College of Pharmacy, The University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ. Participants: Students enrolled in either their first (class of 1997) or third (class of 1995) professional year of The University of Arizona's 4-year Doctor of Pharmacy degree program. Main Outcome Measure: The RAND 36-Item Health Survey 1.0. Results: No significant mean score differences were found between the classes, and the mean scores for the first-year class remained stable during the semester. The third-year class's mean scores for the emotional well-being and emotional problem-related role functioning scales decreased significantly during the semester. Conclusions: Pharmacy school may affect students' functioning and well-being in different and unique ways compared with medical school. Additional research should be conducted to assess changes in pharmacy student health status and to develop mechanisms to help counter any negative impact that may occur during pharmacy school.

The aim of the study was to evaluate depressive symptomatology within the student population of the University of Palermo (Italy). An anonymous online questionnaire was provided to the students of the University of Palermo. The first section investigated demographic and social data, while in the second section the QIDSSR16 (Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology Self-Report) test was administered. 539 students (68.3% female) gave informed consent and completed the questionnaire. Considering as a dependent variable: Depressive symptomatology moderate- severe-very severe, the statistically significant independent variables associated are I don’t live with my family (aOR 1.63, 95% CI 1.01-2.63, P=0.043), I currently smoke (aOR 1.55, 95% CI 1.01-2.39, P=0.048) and Low perceived health status (aOR 4.14, 95% CI 2.73-6.28, P<0.001). Smoking is associated with an increased risk of developing a high-grade depressive symptomatology. Family plays a crucial role in decreasing the risk of moderate, severe or very severe symptoms.
