Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Contraceptive Training and Education
Colleges assigned to this arm receive a one-day UCSF Continuing Medical Education (CME # MMC18087) accredited training on contraceptives and technical assistance. The training is for staff at the student health center and local health centers where they refer for contraceptive services. Students attending colleges assigned to this arm receive education about contraceptive methods and how to access services.
Contraceptive Training and Education
Staff at the student health center and local health centers where they refer for contraceptive services will receive a CME-accredited education and training session and technical assistance. The one-day session emphasizes evidence-based and patient-centered contraceptive counseling and provision. Students attending colleges assigned to the intervention arm will receive materials and resources designed to educate young people about contraceptive methods and where to access services.
Nutrition Education
Students attending colleges assigned to this arm receive nutrition education about the impacts of sugar on health.
Placebo Nutrition Education
Students attending colleges assigned to the nutrition education arm will receive materials and resources designed to educate young people about the impacts of sugar on health.
