Abstract

One factor that may prevent a small but significant percentage of college students from achieving sexual health is sexual compulsivity. This study content analyzed a randomly selected stratified national sample of 203 four-year United States colleges’ counseling center websites to assess the degree to which such sites feature information and reference services for sexually compulsive students. Results revealed that such communications were extremely rare, especially in comparison to communications for other mental health issues.
