ABSTRACT
This project will focus on developing and implementing health education sessions as well as a needs assessment survey with these college students. The target population is undergraduate students attending Paul Quinn College, a Historically Black College and University (HBCU). Nearly 85% of the student population at Paul Quinn College qualifies for the Pell Grant with further evidence suggesting healthcare access barriers at Paul Quinn College, which we hope to identify.
