亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）和性暴力（SV）是妇女，特别是女大学生面临的重大公共卫生问题。IPV和SV与许多不良健康后果和参与不健康行为有关。鉴于大学女性的健康风险和IPV/SV的高发率，了解和促进这一人群的筛查是很重要的。本研究的目的是调查大学女性在大学健康中心接受IPV/SV筛查的经历，并确定与筛查相关的个人和机构特征。2015年1月，我们从美国东北部的五所高校随机抽取女本科生参加了一项匿名在线调查。入选标准包括在前一个秋季学期至少去一次大学健康中心。参与者被问及人口统计学问题，以及他们是否在大学健康中心接受过筛查或询问过IPV/SV。共有873名妇女符合纳入标准并完成了调查。在这项研究中，只有10.2%的女大学生报告说，她们在最近一次去学院健康中心时接受了IPV/SV筛查。来自公立学院/大学的参与者报告接受筛查的可能性是其他人的三倍，而来自城市学院/大学校园的参与者报告接受筛查的可能性是其他人的两倍多。因妇科或性健康原因前往学院健康中心的女大学生报告接受IPV/SV筛查的可能性几乎是其他女性的4倍。大学健康中心IPV/SV筛查率低意味着错失了机会。需要在更多和不同的大学进行进一步的研究，以了解促进或抑制大学卫生中心IPV/SV筛查的因素，以制定干预措施，促进常规筛查实践。
Intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual violence (SV) are significant public health issues for women, particularly for college women. IPV and SV have been associated with numerous adverse health consequences and involvement in unhealthy behaviors. Given the health risks and high rates of IPV/SV among college women, it is important to understand and promote screening in this population. The purpose of this study was to examine college women's experiences with IPV/SV screening at college health centers and identify individual and institutional characteristics associated with screening. Random samples of female undergraduate college students from five colleges in the northeast United States were recruited to participate in an anonymous online survey in January 2015. Inclusion criteria included at least one visit to the college health center during the preceding fall semester. Participants were questioned regarding demographics and whether they were screened or asked about IPV/SV at the college health center. A total of 873 women met the inclusion criteria and completed surveys. Only 10.2% of the college women in the study reported that they were screened for IPV/SV at their most recent visit to the college health center. Participants from public colleges/universities were 3 times more likely than others to report screening, whereas participants from urban college/university campuses were more than twice as likely as others to report screening. College women who went to the college health center for a gynecological or sexual health reason were nearly 4 times as likely as other women to report being screened for IPV/SV. Low rates of IPV/SV screening at college health centers represent missed opportunities. Further research across more numerous and diverse college sites is needed to understand the factors that promote or inhibit IPV/SV screening in college health centers to develop interventions to facilitate routine screening practices.
