Title: High Stakes & Health Choices: Exploring First- Generation College Students' Health Behaviors
Lead Presenter: Casey Schumacher
Date: October 28, 2025    Time: 9:15 am - 10:15 am
Room: Milano Ballroom VIII, Promenade Level
Abstract: The transition from high school to college is challenging, especially for first-generation students-those whose parents did not attend college-who often enter less prepared than their peers. Research shows they face greater mental and physical health risks. For future health professionals, understanding these challenges is crucial. This study examines whether college major influences first-gen students' health behaviors, comparing public health majors to non-majors. Findings will be presented.
