“…Among heterosexual college students and gay men, two groups at high risk of STIs (Trieu, Bratton, & Marshek, 2011;CDC, 2013), there is strong evidence that the monogamy message has been heard. Rates of monogamous-identified relationships have significantly increased over time for both populations (Gotta et al, 2011).…”

The authors examined the hypothesis that many individuals define monogamy based on emotional rather than sexual fidelity. Participants, 373 heterosexual college students and 282 gay men, read three vignettes of decreasing mitigation in which they imagined committing an act of infidelity against a hypothetical partner and where half the participants were cued to their emotional attachment toward the partner. Despite the infidelity, relationships in the emotional attachment-cued vignettes were rated as monogamous to a greater degree than relationships in the vignettes where emotional attachment was not cued. In addition, over one-third of the participants in our study reported infidelity in their current self-defined monogamous relationships yet also reported feeling more protected from sexual health risks and reported less condom use than individuals who defined their relationship as nonmonogamous. The implications for monogamy as a protective fallacy are discussed.

“…3 Importantly, this recommendation applies to both men and women as research has shown that gender differences exist in the receipt of SRH care, with men using health care services substantially less than women. 4, 5 Further, studies suggest men and women face different barriers to discussing or receiving SRH services with health care providers. 6, 7 …”

Objective The current study aimed to examine (1) gender differences in college students’ knowledge of sexual and reproductive health care (K-SRHC) service access points, and (2) the relationship between demographic and psychosocial factors and college students’ overall K-SRHC service access points. Methods and Participants Self-report online surveys were administered to 18- and 19-year-old college students from a northern California public university (N = 183; 39.9% men; 32.2% Latino). Results Women reported higher overall K-SRHC service access point scores than men. Findings indicated that gender and family planning self-efficacy were the strongest correlates of K-SRHC service access points. Men with a regular source of health care had higher K-SRHC service access points than men without. Conclusions Results suggest that college men need additional education about how to access sexual and reproductive health services to support their own and their partner’s health.

“…Although 4-year college students tend to report higher binge drinking (Paschall, Bersamin, & Flewelling, 2005) problem, alcohol use is known to be prevalent among community college students as well (Arliss, 2006; Sheffield, Drakes, Del Boca,& Goldman, 2005; Vankim et al, 2010). Research has highlighted the need and importance of studying dietary behavior (Arliss, 2007; Nelson, Larson, Barr-Anderson, & Neumark-Sztainer, 2009; Shive & Morris, 2006), physical activity (Sullivan et al, 2008; Vankim et al, 2010), and sexual behavior (Rich, Holmes, & Hodges, 1996; Trieu, Bratton, & Marshak, 2011) among community college students. Despite the needs, however, community college students remain understudied and underserved with regard to health behavior research and health promotion interventions, respectively (Chiauzzi et al, 2011).…”

Current Methods in Health Behavior Research Among U.S. Community College Students

The majority of health behavior research involving college students in the United States has focused on 4-year college students. Two-year or community college students have been less studied, although a significant proportion of U.S. undergraduates, primarily those from disadvantaged socioeconomic and/or racial/ethnic background, are enrolled in community colleges. Thus, there is a need to enhance health behavior and health promotion research among community college students. This study systematically reviewed 42 published, peer-reviewed health behavior studies conducted among U.S. community college students in order to determine the current state of research in the area with regard to behaviors studied, research designs used, recruitment and data collection strategies practiced, rates of student participation, and characteristics of the participants represented. Findings identified the methodological limitations of current research and suggested optimal recruitment and data collection methods suitable for various research needs. Findings are discussed in the context of enhancing health behavior research among U.S. community college students.
