The study's findings reveal that the spiritual health was significantly affected, the social health was affected, and both the physical and mental health were slightly affected. Academic performance was outstanding, yet, few got failing grades, and coping mechanisms were often practiced. Among the profiles, age and gender has a significant relationship with health. There is a significant relationship between health and academic performance. Only the gender profile has a significant relationship with coping. The coping mechanisms and academic performance has a significant relationship. There is a significant difference in coping mechanisms when grouped together according to their gender. A health intervention plan was developed based on the findings of the study.
