BIO

Hello! My name is Taylor Barber and I am a graduating senior here at Florida State. I am from Ocala Florida and graduated high school already having my AA degree. Because of my accelerated path, I had to quickly adapt and figure out my interest quickly. Luckily, I was accepted into UROP and got the chance to expand my interests and collaborate with others to learn more about the health of other college students. I plan to continue researching as I continue into my Master of Public Health program!

Understanding the Differentials in College Students Health

Abstract

College is an area in young adults' lives where they explore their sexuality and begin to make important decisions for themselves. Our research aims to understand the most recent literature on college student sexual health practices and wellness by performing a systematic literature review. Our goal is to view how informative 4-year universities in the United States are at providing information regarding sexual health, such as STDs, pregnancy rates, and other topics of sexual health knowledge. We believe analyzing this data will bring awareness to real-life issues college students face, as well as highlight how their universities prepare them for this stage in their life.
