D-1: Screening for Sleep Difficulties in a College Health Service
Abstract: Sleep difficulties are a major challenge on college campuses. A goal for Healthy Campus 2020 is to reduce the
proportion of students who report their academic performance was adversely affected by sleep difficulties in the last 12 months.
We will demonstrate the feasibility of initiating screening for sleep difficulties in a college health service, as well as using brief motivational interviewing and targeted tools for students who screen positive.

D-2: HIV PREP: The Next Step in HIV Prevention
Abstract: The landscape of HIV prevention is changing. An important component of this evolution is the use of HIV antiviral medication as a preventative measure, known as pre exposure prophylaxis (PREP). Recent research, specifically the iPrex study at Fenway Health, has shown that taking ARV's daily reduces the rate of HIV transmission. This presentation will review the research, efficacy, side effects and application of PREP in clinical practice.

D-3: Grand Rounds: Mental Heath
Abstract: Grand Rounds: Mental Health will provide one or two cases that will be presented and discussed. Challenges faced in treating emerging adults will be discussed. They face imagining the life they will have and finding ways to live it. They discover what is true about themselves and others, and what is not true. We discover what goals they can reach, and those they cannot. They find people we can love, and, those whose love they cannot earn or hold onto. They discover that the potential for success does not always lead to success, and that success is not the same as fulfillment and contentment.
