ABSTRACT
Purpose: The transition
into college is a life-change event where academic success can be influenced by
health. This investigation intended to estimate the prevalence of health
impediments to academic performance (HIAP) and proportional differences across
academic year. Methods: Sample included U.S. undergraduate, full-time, domestic
students (n = 120,434) from
NCHA-II2008-2013 data. 30 HIAPs were dichotomized (academic impact or not) and
then ranked by proportion. The top 10 HIAPs were compared across academic year
using the Marascuilo multiple-proportions comparison technique and Odds Ratios.
Results: The top HIAPs included mental, social, and physical health factors.
The prevalence of each HIAP increased in proportion between the 1st and
4th year. Conclusion: This study provided estimates of health
impact on academic performance by academic year. The increase in HIAPs was reported
by academic warrants universities to address the influence of health on
academic performance specific to mental and social health early in a student’s
college career.
