Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Survey

The ACHA Sexual Health Services Survey (formerly the Pap Test and STI Survey) provides colleges and universities with benchmarking data about sexual and reproductive health services including the provision of gynecological services, Pap test collection and evaluation, and STI/HIV testing and treatment.

Over the years, the survey has served as an important benchmarking tool regarding management strategies and data collection, as well as a means to assess educational efforts and compare health center services. The survey is also attracting wider attention from experts in the field who have an interest in determining the burden of STIs/HIV in college populations.

To reduce survey fatigue, the format of the survey has changed so that the survey for even years asks general practice questions and the survey for odd years assesses adherence to guidelines and best practices. Demographics and Pap testing, STI testing, and pregnancy testing results will continue to be collected every year.
