ProQuest LLC, D.S.W. Dissertation, University of Southern California
The purpose of this capstone project is to provide an innovative solution to address major public health and social problems known on college campuses in relation to "Ensuring Healthy Development for All Youth," one of the 12 Grand Challenges of Social Work. This project uses conceptual socioecological frameworks of prevention and health promotion, campus master planning, and restorative environmental design to create a comprehensive Campus Master Plan for Student Wellbeing. Through executive-level partnerships, community collaboration, data-collection and an active Student Wellbeing Index Survey, the innovation will provide institutions of higher education with a Student Wellbeing Index Score, recommendations, and an actionable list of items that can be implemented to increase the wellbeing of students on their campuses. These actionable items will be categorized in 4 key areas: 1) Systems, 2) Settings 3) Programs and 4) Policies along with recommendations on how to utilize biophilic, restorative environmental, and systems-level interventions as an innovative tool and resource to achieve an equitable, inclusive, and health-promoting college campus driven by student wellbeing.
