Survey participants (n = 614) were randomly recruited through a university listserv. Interview participants (n = 16) were recruited through convenience sampling.Results: Most participants supported naloxone distribution (84.5%), 17.1% had witnessed an overdose, and 44.2% knew of someone who had died of a fatal drug overdose. Positive perceptions about naloxone, level of familiarity with people who use drugs (PWUD), and lower stigma toward PWUD were all significantly associated with support for naloxone distribution. Interview findings reveal students are familiar with OD and substance use and they desire low/no barrier access to naloxone on campus.Conclusions: Naloxone distribution is an accepted intervention on college campuses. Recommendations for implementation are provided.","PeriodicalId":14900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American College Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144731060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PrEP-to-need ratios (PnR) and PrEP equity ratios (PER) were calculated to identify disparities in PrEP use.Results: Two percent (n = 2662) of students reported taking PrEP. Overall, the PrEP-to-need ratio (PnR) was 13.9, indicating that approximately 14 students are taking PrEP for every student diagnosed with HIV. PrEP coverage was highest among White students and cisgender women and lowest among Black students and trans/gender-diverse students assigned male at birth.Conclusions: Levels of PrEP use were highly inequitable, especially among sexual and gender minority students of color.

Problem Behavior Theory (PBT) identifies various factors influencing engagement in problem behaviors. This study explores PBT factors differentiating from current and non-current e-cigarette use among college students. Participants: A sample of 1,083 college students over the age of 18 was collected from a Mid-Atlantic university. Methods: Data was analyzed using a recursive partitioning (RP) model. Results: The RP model produced a parsimonious tree explaining 21.0% of the variance in current e-cigarette use. Significant explanatory variables included having most or all of friends who vape nicotine and greater cannabis involvement. Conclusion: This study supports RP's utility in examining health behaviors like substance use, highlighting variables for future prevention and intervention efforts.

Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed, utilizing self-report measures to assess mindfulness, stress, self-as-context, and cognitive defusion. Mediation analyses were conducted to explore indirect pathways between mindfulness and stress through decentering facets. Results: Two major findings are (a) the relationship between mindfulness and stress was mediated by cognitive defusion, and (b) mindfulness influenced stress through a sequential pathway involving self-as-context and cognitive defusion. These results suggest that mindfulness may help stress coping through increased cognitive defusion and self-as-context awareness. Conclusions: This study highlights the distinct mediating roles of decentering facets in the mindfulness-stress relationship. Understanding these mechanisms may inform mindfulness-based interventions aimed at improving stress-coping strategies among undergraduate students.","PeriodicalId":14900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American College Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144698636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 199 college women ages 18-25 completed behavioral measures assessing unwanted sexual experiences.Results: Reports of forced penetration were approximately five times higher using a behaviorally-specific measure compared to a single gate question.Discussion: These findings highlight the need for universities to use behaviorally-specific assessments in campus climate surveys to more accurately capture the scope of sexual assault and adequately support prevention and survivor resources.","PeriodicalId":14900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American College Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144649504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
