College men's health in practice: A multidisciplinary approach

After a needs assessment indicated that male students underutilized campus health services, the San Francisco State University Student Health Service developed a coordinated complement of outpatient health services for men. T he authors review their experience in developing, implementing, operating, and evaluating this ongoing clinical service. The needs assessment and subs equent program evaluation data suggest that male students on a large, cultu rally diverse, urban campus would respond favorably to targeted, multidisci plinary health initiatives that incorporate the principles of health promot ion and disease prevention.
