To provide an overview of college health centers' practices surrounding education, counseling and referral after a patient receives a positive pregnancy test. College health centers that participated in the annual ACHA Pap Test and STI Survey years 2008 to 2014. Descriptive analyses for items regarding all-options and limited counseling/education and types of referrals (adoption, abortion and prenatal care) provided to students. Chi-square statistics were calculated to examine trends over time and differences between demographic characteristics. There were no significant differences across time but there were significant differences between regions of the US and if the institution was faith-based, though few had strong association values. The results indicate most college health centers are following best practices regarding counseling and education for a positive pregnancy test result. Understanding limitations for those institutions not in compliance require further exploration.

Background: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may impact ovarian folliculogenesis and steroidogenesis, but whether prenatal exposure may impact offspring reproductive health is unknown. This study examines the extent to which maternal PFAS plasma concentrations during pregnancy are associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and related characteristics in female offspring.
Methods: We studied 322 mother-daughter pairs in Project Viva, a Boston-area longitudinal pre-birth cohort enrolled 1999-2002.
