F-2: Screening for Alcohol Misuse in a College Health Service
Abstract: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) published recommendations that clinicians screen adults aged 18
years or older for alcohol misuse and provide persons engaged in high-risk drinking with brief behavioral counseling interventions to reduce alcohol misuse.
We will demonstrate the feasibility of initiating screening for alcohol misuse in a college health service using brief motivational interviewing techniques for students who screen positive.
We will review a Model for Improvement as a framework to guide implementation of this intervention.

F-4: Come As You Are: How (and Why) to Promote Women's Sexual Wellbeing in the 21st Century
Abstract: Women’s sexual wellbeing is different from men’s - and not just because of reproductive health issues or infection risk. Women’s experience of arousal, desire, and orgasm, the way stress, love, and culture influence behavior, and the interaction between sex and relationships are all different for women’s sexuality. This is a talk about what’s true about women’s sexuality and what college health professionals can do to make the world a better place for women’s sexuality.
