The University of Wisconsin ranked top 10 nationwide on the annual Trojan Sexual Health Report Card, although its ranking has dropped slightly from the past couple of years.

The ranking compares 140 universities across the country based on the availability of sexual health resources on campus, outreach programs for sexual health education, HIV and STI testing and hours of operation of health services.

UW is down three places in the latest report card from its rank in 2013 and five places from its rank in 2012.

The top spot went to Oregon State University, which jumped 25 spots from its 26th place rank in 2013. The University of Texas at Austin took second place, followed by the University of Maryland, University of Arizona and Stanford University respectively.

The services on the UW campus include groups like End Violence on Campus and Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment, a student-run organization that works to prevent sexual violence. They also include Sex Out Loud, which provides information on consent, safe sex and contraception, as well as University Health Services.

Sarah Van Orman, the UHS executive director, said some of the resources from the university that likely contributed to its high ranking were its education programs and convenient access to medical services and a sexual health clinic.

“We try really hard to make all of those kinds of services really quick and available to students,” Van Orman said.

UHS tries to eliminate barriers that might normally prevent students from seeking health services, such as cost, to increase accessibility to care. All UHS services are funded through student segregated fees and do not charge students directly.

In the coming years, UHS plans to continue increasing students’ awareness of resources and education of healthy relationships, including communication within a relationship, Van Orman said.

One program focused on healthy relationships is End Violence on Campus’ Tonight program, Van Orman said. The program, which is required for all first-year students, educates students on issues like healthy dating relationships and consent.

Another wellness service, UHS Sexual Health Clinic, offers screening for sexually transmitted infections, provides contraceptives and answers questions about sexual health.

“The primary goal that UHS focuses on itself is to increase the availability of STI screenings,” Sexual Health Clinic manager Craig Roberts said.

UHS works with groups like Sex Out Loud to promote sexual health education on campus, Roberts said.

Van Orman said the ranking will help spread the word about these resources. UHS is always looking for new ways to bring information to students, she added.

“When people see something like that, we hope it brings awareness even more,” Van Orman said. “Hopefully it can also help make sure students are comfortable coming in for services too.”
