What this trial studies
Health Surveillance 2025 aims to analyze and describe the health status of students at Constructor University Bremen, focusing on key influencing factors and individual resources. The study utilizes validated and standardized measuring instruments to gather data, which will inform health-promoting discussions and actions within the university.
