The Great American Condom Campaign just notified me that I've been selected as a Safe Site. They'll be sending me 500 free condoms donated by Trojan for me to distribute throughout the semester. Considering that the Student Health Center is still the only place on campus to get condoms and that they charge 25 cents a piece, this is very good news for SDSU.
Two years ago, Trojan studied 100 college campuses around the country. SDSU was one of those campuses and frankly, the results were pathetic. The Collegian summarized the results:
SDSU ranked 82 out of 100 schools surveyed for the Trojan Sexual Health Report Card released Sept. 19 from the makers of Trojan brand condoms and Sperling's Best Places.
SDSU received a D for information on the Web site, an F for condom availability and another F for advice columns and question-and-answer features for sexual issues or relationships. It did receive a respectable B for HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing.
This study inspired Campus Women's Coalition to start Project: Condom. The goal is to make condoms free and available in more places around campus. Thanks to the Great American Condom Campaign, we're a step closer. I'll keep everyone updated on how condom distribution is going once the box comes in!
Hey I was just wondering what your plans were for distributing the condoms. My school also just became a safe site via me and I am scouting out some creative ways to distribute and hopefully get people educated and talking!
So- what are your plans, idea, etc?
Thanks!
