141 and Counting

Well, folks, it happened again.

After being ranked 139 (also known as DEAD LAST) in Trojan's 2008 College Sexual Health Report Card, DePaul has actually fallen two spots to remain DEAD LAST at 141 in 2009. We deserve better. The categories used to rank schools included:
  1. Student opinion of health center
  2. Health center hours of operation
  3. Availability of patient drop-in vs. appointment only
  4. Availability of separate sexual awareness program
  5. Contraceptive availability and cost
  6. Condom availability and cost
  7. HIV testing, cost and locality (on- vs. off-campus)
  8. Other STI testing, cost and locality (on- vs. off-campus)
  9. Availability of anonymous advice via email / newspaper column
  10. Existence of lecture / outreach programs
  11. Existence of student peer groups
  12. Availability of sexual assault programs
  13. Website usability and functionality
Let's hear your ideas on what our community can do to move up the list!

    This is a really great idea! My freshman year I knew someone that went to Sage for STI testing after a scare. Sage completed the tests and at the end of the exam my friend went to go pay for the appointment and it was over $300! My friend had insurance so they just assumed it was covered and someone said anything otherwise. It was absolutely horrible!
