Gender differences emerged for reasons students sought care generally, but were not associated with differences in care seeking among those who experienced SV. At baseline and one-year, students who reported SV were more likely to state mental or sexual and reproductive health as their reason for care seeking.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Many students seeking care have experienced SV yet present with other health needs. Providers need to recognize this and have a low threshold for providing SV resources routinely.Supplemental data for this article can be accessed online at https://doi.org/10.1080/07448481.2022.2057189.Journal of American college health : J of ACHCollege students' experiences of sexual violence and reasons for seeking care in campus health and counseling centers.PMC9532461T32HD087162T32 HD087162K23AA027288K23 AA027288R01AA023260R01 AA023260Miller-Walfish SJackson RChugani CDSchmulevich AFeinstein ZMiller EJones KABoakye MDSAnderson JCfalseCollege students' experiences of sexual violence and reasons for seeking care in campus health and counseling centers.<h4>Objective</h4>Examine associations between care seeking reasons in college health and counseling centers and sexual violence (SV).<h4>Participants</h4>College students (n = 2,084 baseline, n = 1,170 one-year follow up) participating in a cluster randomized controlled trial of an SV reduction intervention on 28 campuses.<h4>Methods</h4>Computer-based survey data gathered during students' clinic visit and one-year follow up.<h4>Results</h4>Despite high prevalence of SV, students almost never sought care specifically for SV (0.5% of reported visits).
