  2. Describe high risk physical and mental health issues for collegiate men.

Program Abstract:
Studies have shown that 60% of men do not go to the doctor. Often, the only contact a college-aged man has with the student health center is when they are acutely ill. Therefore, it is crucial that healthcare providers transform the acute care visit into an opportunity to identify health risks through effective screening and provide a subsequent treatment plan. This program will describe key men's health issues and help streamline this care process.
