Abstract

The Reproductive Health Equity Act (RHEA) works to increase access to sexual and reproductive health services for all Oregonians by expanding coverage to include comprehensive contraceptive counseling, voluntary sterilization, screenings for pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), breast and cervical cancers, counseling on STIs and relationship safety, and abortion (Oregon Health Authority, n.d.). Adolescents in particular are a population that face decreased access to recommended preventative health services while also accounting for half of the STI cases reported each year (CDC, 2018; CDC, 2019). In partnership with Multnomah County Health Department and Multnomah County Student Health Centers, this pilot project was created to educate and advertise sexual and reproductive health services to adolescents through a social media campaign. The social media campaign included 12 weekly posts, addressing 3 monthly topics, published onto the Student Health Centers Instagram account. Next steps may include assessing impact through adolescent feedback, addressing further sexual and reproductive health topics, or using other social media platforms such as Facebook or TikTok to expand reach and audience.
