Mind the Gap: How College Health Services Can Use Assessment to Identify Health Disparities, Health Inequities, and Barriers to Accessing Care." Originally presented on April 26, 2017 CE Credit available More Details
The Administration’s budget proposal for 2018 gravely impacts our nation’s ability to combat health outbreaks, pioneer medical research breakthroughs, and help our neediest college students fulfill their higher education goals.
The proposed cuts to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, and federal student aid programs threaten to compromise campus health and student success. ACHA looks to Congress to finalize a budget with funding levels that safeguard our nation’s higher education and public health communities and that places the needs of our nation’s 20 million college students as a priority.
An updated version of the ACHA Guidelines: Tuberculosis Screening and Targeted Testing of College and University Students [pdf] is now available. The ACHA Emerging Public Health Threats and Emergency Response Coalition has reviewed and revised the guidelines and made the following changes:
The revised guidelines, along with other ACHA guidelines and recommendations, can be downloaded at www.acha.org/Guidelines.
