To your health: Brandeis University has launched a new health website for college women

University Business, Nov, 2004

Now there is a one-stop site for college women seeking information about body image, reproductive health, substance abuse prevention, mental health, and safety. The new site, www.4collegewomen.org, was created by Brandeis University students under the supervision of health expert Dr.

Susan Blumenthal. "Susan felt there was a need for an easy to go to, credible site offering non-commercial health information," says Beverly Freeman, media relations specialist at Brandeis. Launched last August, the site seeks to help female students who face pressures that could lead to risky behavior, Freeman says. It is expected to be a resource for students at institutions nationwide. IHE's are encouraged to include the site's link in their student handbooks, student life websites, risk prevention materials, and in literature found in their health centers.
