Student Wellbeing and Health Access Screening Survey
A confidential check-in for schools and campus health teams to spot patterns in student sleep, stress, nutrition, and access to care before they become crises. An AI follow-up interview explores the biggest wellbeing concern in the student's own words, surfacing what support would actually help rather than just a severity score.

Gently explore the single wellbeing area the respondent flagged as their top priority in the trade-off question (or the most frequent struggle from the earlier statements) — ask what it looks like day to day, what has made it harder or easier lately, and what kind of support would actually feel useful to them. If the respondent expresses anything suggesting self-harm risk or a health emergency, do not attempt to counsel them: calmly acknowledge it, avoid probing further on that thread, and clearly point them to (Replace with your campus crisis line / emergency contact).

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Goes beyond severity scores with an AI follow-up interview that gently explores the student's self-identified top wellbeing concern in their own words
- Combines quantitative screening (sleep hours, physical health rating, frequency matrix, meal-skipping, max-diff prioritization) with qualitative depth in one flow
- Explicitly screens for access-to-care barriers ('what made it harder to get health support') alongside symptoms, so teams can act on root causes, not just flag distress
- Opens and closes with transparent, trust-building chat messages that set confidentiality expectations and thank respondents, framing the whole check-in as supportive rather than clinical
QuestionPro
Student health screen survey template + Sample questionnaireA ready-to-field sample questionnaire aimed at general student health screening, likely covering physical health basics. It's a static, editable template rather than an adaptive interview, so depth relies entirely on the fixed question list. Useful as a quick-start form but not built to probe individual context.
What it does well
- Purpose-built student health screening template
- Sample questionnaire provided for quick customization
- Backed by an established survey platform with broad question-type support
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up to explore a student's specific top concern in their own words
- No per-response quality scoring or automated qualitative analysis
- No transparent prompt methodology since it's a static question set
Jotform
30+ Student Health FormsThis is a category/collection page listing many student health form templates rather than a single fielding-ready wellbeing survey — a researcher would need to pick and further customize one. Forms here are geared toward administrative health data collection (e.g., intake, permission, screening forms) rather than confidential wellbeing check-ins with narrative exploration.
What it does well
- Large variety of pre-built form templates to choose from
- Easy drag-and-drop form customization
- Good for administrative/compliance-style health documentation
Where it falls short
- No single template dedicated to confidential wellbeing screening with follow-up interviewing
- Static form fields only — no adaptive AI questioning or voice interview option
- No automated quality scoring or synthesized reporting on qualitative responses
Typeform
Student Mental Health Checkin Survey TemplateA conversational-style check-in template focused specifically on student mental health, which aligns well with the wellbeing use case. It offers Typeform's signature one-question-at-a-time UX, but questions are pre-scripted and identical for every respondent rather than adapting based on answers.
What it does well
- Purpose-built for student mental health check-ins
- Polished, conversational one-question-at-a-time interface
- Easy to embed and share for campus use
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up interview or voice interview to dig into an individual's flagged concern
- No automated per-response quality scoring or auto-generated qualitative reports
- No published prompt-level methodology since it uses fixed question logic
