title: College health needs to participate in the national STD debate.
abstract: We have a window of opportunity in which events are coming together, and we in ACHA can make a significant impact on STDs/STIs. College health professionals can choose to become actively involved or we can be bystanders. Our population, our tradition, and our moral imperatives all urge us to become engaged at all levels. We work with one of the most highly educated of all groups--a group that also shows some of the highest rates of risky behaviour--and we should be able to demonstrate the highest levels of successful intervention.
