abstract="OBJECTIVE: To describe the array of sexual health care services provided at US colleges and universities. PARTICIPANTS: During 2014-2015, 885 colleges were surveyed about their provision of sexual health services. <br><br>METHODS: 55% of colleges responded. Data were weighted and stratified by minority-serving institutions (MSIs), 2-year and 4-year institutions. <br><br>RESULTS: 70.6% of colleges reported having a health center (HC), of which 73.0% offered STI diagnosis/treatment (4y vs. 2y; 77.9% vs. 53.1%) and contraceptive services (70.1% vs. 46.4%), all p<.001. HCs less frequently offered LARC (19.7%), express STI testing (24.4%) and self-collection (31.4%). Condoms were available on 66.8% of campuses. HPV vaccination was available at more 4-year colleges (73.7% vs. 48.5%, p<.003) and non-MSIs (74.4% vs. 58.5, p =.019). Regarding MSM-targeted services, 54.6% offered pharyngeal and 51.8% rectal STI testing. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: 2-year colleges may require additional support with providing sexual health care. Improvements could entail increasing express testing, extra-genital STI testing, and LARC.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
