Abstract: Health promotion programs in university settings can enhance individual and community well-being. This integrative literature review examined digital and in-person health promotion interventions in higher education. From 11,986 articles across PubMed, Embase, and PsycINFO, 286 met inclusion criteria. Most targeted students (n = 220), with fewer focusing on employees (n = 42) or campus-wide approaches (n = 24). In-person programs were most common (n = 139), followed by digital (n = 105) and hybrid formats (n = 42). Among student interventions, mental health was the leading focus (n = 54), followed by multi-domain (n = 40) and alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs (n = 38). Employee programs primarily addressed physical activity (n = 20), multiple domains (n = 18), and weight management (n = 2). The findings suggest that a holistic approach to student health and well-being has been adopted, but there is paucity of interventions to support employee well-being. Expanding programs beyond physical health to support faculty and staff—especially in mental health—is essential, as their well-being contributes to student success and flourishing.
