目的：评估新课程“新生茁壮成长/COPE健康生活方式”对大学新生认知信念、知识、心理健康结果、健康生活方式选择、身体活动和记忆力的初步影响。数据来源：测量包括人口统计学、营养知识、健康生活方式信念、健康生活方式感知困难、健康生活方式选择、贝克青年量表- ii（焦虑、抑郁、焦虑和破坏性行为）、通过计步器计算的步数和大学留校率。结论：与对照组相比，实验性COPE（创造个人赋权机会）组有更大的意愿过健康的生活方式（p = 0.02）。从基线到干预后，COPE学生的体育活动也显著增加（p = 0.003），并且比没有参加该课程的学生有更高的大学留校率。此外，在基线分数升高的COPE学生中，抑郁和焦虑症状显著减少。实践启示：新生茁壮成长课程是一个很有前途的干预，可以用来增强健康的生活方式行为和改善大学新生的心理健康结果。
Purpose: To assess the preliminary effects of a new course entitled Freshman 5 to Thrive/COPE Healthy Lifestyles on the cognitive beliefs, knowledge, mental health outcomes, healthy lifestyle choices, physical activity, and retention of college freshmen.Data sources: Measures included demographics, nutrition knowledge, healthy lifestyle beliefs, healthy lifestyle perceived difficulty, healthy lifestyle choices, Beck Youth Inventories-II (anxiety, depression, anxiety, and destructive behavior), step count via pedometer, and college retention.Conclusions: The experimental COPE (Creating Opportunities for Personal Empowerment) group had greater intentions to live a healthy lifestyle (p = .02) versus the comparison group. COPE students also significantly increased their physical activity (p = .003) from baseline to postintervention and had a higher college retention rate than students who did not take the course. In addition, there was a significant decrease in depressive and anxiety symptoms in COPE students whose baseline scores were elevated.Implications for practice: The Freshman 5 to Thrive Course is a promising intervention that can be used to enhance healthy lifestyle behaviors and improve mental health outcomes in college freshmen.
