College Health Surveillance Network

College Health Surveillance Network (CHSN) is a multi-institutional, de-identified medical records dataset from student health centers (SHCs) that are part of a nationally representative sample of colleges and universities. CHSN allows for both the collection of medical diagnoses, services, and treatments of university students and the use of this information in epidemiologic and service utilization studies. Founded in 2011 with initial funding support from the CDC, CHSN is the first national effort to use data from electronic medical records of students seeking care at university student health centers to evaluate and monitor the health of the college student population in the United States.

Student Health Research Database

The Student Health Research Database (SHRD) is a comprehensive integrated data repository which is created through linking multiple routinely collected student datasets across the university campus. The database has over 120,000 student cases from 2009 to the present. This database enables the de-identified following of students from time of first enrollment until graduation. It can serve as a cost-efficient longitudinal data source for multi-departmental surveillance, epidemiologic research, training, and service/quality improvement.
