IRT Study on Community College Sexual Health
Published in Journal of American College Health

Tuesday, January 29, 2019

The Journal of American College Health has published a paper from researchers at iRT on the status of sexual health among community college students.

The paper, “The Understudied Half of Undergraduates,” takes a look at the behaviors, attitudes, and experiences of more than 250 older adolescents attending community colleges from eight different campuses. Despite being considerably more diverse in both race and class than four-year universities, significantly less research has been done on community college populations than on other student groups.
