The dedicated SHC within the UAB Student Health and Wellness Center was associated with an increase in STI screenings. There was a significant difference between the demographics of those presenting to the SHC versus primary care clinics, proportionally more diagnoses of gonorrhea and chlamydia, and for MSM more extragenital screenings performed in the SHC. These findings suggest that there may be a benefit of an embedded SHC in college and university health and wellness centers.
