Health Promotion Services staff, in collaboration with the USF community, promotes a culture of healthy lifestyles, reasonable health messages, harm reduction tips, and the development of a more humane and safer environment not only on campus but also in the world.

In the Jesuit tradition that is faith does justice, HPS staff will strive to inform, educate, provide, assess, and train USF students in ten health indicators: physical activity, nutrition, tobacco use, substance abuse, responsible sexual behavior, mental health, injury and violence prevention, environmental quality, immunization, and access to health care.

 These ten health indicators reflect the major health concerns in the United States for college students and were selected on the basis of their ability to motivate action, the availability of data to measure progress, and their importance as public health issues.
