A Qualitative Investigation of University Student's Perceptions of Health Behaviours and Associations With Educational Outcomes Through the Lens of the <scp>WHO</scp> Framework on Health Behaviours and Educational Outcomes
Findings suggest that to optimise university students' health and EO, strategies should target multiple health behaviours and address multiple levels of influence. Interventions focused on time management skills and understanding sedentary behaviour may be particularly useful for this population. SO WHAT?: University students' health behaviours should be addressed with consideration of the educational context and use of contextually relevant frameworks. Promotion efforts should prioritise strategies that address multiple levels of influence, which may result in positive outcomes across multiple health behaviours and EO.
