Welcome to my Web site! - Please take my Survey!

Research indicates there are interesting relationships between self-esteem, body image, and life style choices such as physical activity, smoking, drinking, and others. The purpose of this survey is to determine if there is a relationship between physical activity level and self-esteem in college students.  

The results will be posted on this website in early December.

Thank you very much for your time to COMPLETE THE SURVEY and check back in December for the results!
