There will be no assessments offered for the Fall 2021 Semester.
The Ball State University Nutrition Assessment Laboratory conducts several forms of nutrition assessments, including:
- anthropometric (measuring height and weight)
- clinical
- dietary
- biochemical assessments
Most screenings are noninvasive, resulting in minimal risk to patients (e.g. finger stick for biochemical analysis will require a skin puncture and a small quantity of blood; as with any skin puncture, the risk to the patient may include minor bruising, bleeding, or infection at the puncture site). All universal precautions are practiced in the Nutrition Assessment Laboratory for the safety of patients and employees.

The service is provided to Ball State students only. Prospective clients will choose their assessment and then complete the online registration. The Working Well office will contact you within two business days to schedule your appointment. Walk-in appointments are not available.
