The 10th Annual Trojan™ Sexual Health Report Card college rankings are in for the year. The annual study, which is sponsored by the makers of Trojan™ Condoms and conducted by Sperling’s BestPlaces, evaluates 140 universities across the nation based on the availability of sexual health resources and information that are obtainable by students while on campus.

Researchers gathered extensive data from student health center representatives, as well as followed-up with secondary research on the centers and the services that are provided. The student health centers at each university were graded on services across 11 categories:

  • Quality of sexual health information and resources on website
  • Contraceptive availability — free or at cost
  • Condom availability — free or at cost
  • HIV testing on-site (On/off campus, cost)
  • STI testing on-site (On/off campus, cost)
  • Lecture/outreach programs and student peer groups for sexual health education
  • Sexual assault programs, resources or services
  • Overall website usability and quality
  • Hours of operation
  • Allow drop-ins or require appointments for student scheduling
  • Extra credit

For the second consecutive year in a row, Oregon State University’s sexual health program has claimed the numero uno spot, displaying the university’s dedication to sexual health resources and making the university a model for campuses countrywide. The university, which jumped 25 spots to No. 1 in last year’s rankings, earned perfect scores in contraceptive availability, condom availability, lecture/outreach programs and student peer groups, quality of website sexual health information and overall website usability and quality.

Columbia University has made eight consecutive appearances in the top 10, making it the school with the most appearances in the top 10 since 2008. The University of Wisconsin, which raised 69 spots from No. 92 to No. 23 in 2015, is the school with the highest rankings jump from 2006 to 2015. The average GPA of schools in 2015 was 3.00 compared to 2006 when it came in at 1.90 based on a 4.0 scale.

The Annual Sexual Health Report Card continues to motivate university campuses nationwide to improve the resources available to students. The increase of GPA standings surely shows how schools are continually developing better and more efficient sexual health resources to their students.
