Sample Qualtrics Survey
For my Qualtrics survey, I selected questions based on what I perceived to be the three major problems of my health community: lack of sleep, drinking culture, and elevated levels of stress. For my fourth topic, I decided to focus on physical fitness because that was the one factor of my community that I had the least knowledge in. Given that Clark Kerr is known for its student athlete residents, I wanted to see if this trend translated in the survey results.
After finalizing the survey questions, my action project partner and I send out an email that provided a link to the questionnaire to all of the first-year residents of our floor.

This suggests that those who were looking into shedding a few pounds resorted towards exercise rather than diet to achieve this goal. An interesting trend to note is that a little more than half of the respondents claim that they were just the right weight, which suggests that the most desired body type is of slim built.
The results that were of greatest surprise to me regarded stress. Approximately two thirds of respondents claimed that stress did not have any influence on academic performance though exactly half reported to have average levels of stress (Hossain, 2016). This suggests that though a few members of the community claim high levels of stress and its influence on declining health performance, overall people have their stress under
