Abstract
Objectives: This study identifies and analyzes barriers to sexual and gynecological health care Black women face at a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) and a Predominantly White Institution (PWI) in southeastern America.
Design: Participants identified as Black women who were sexually active, age 18-25, and undergraduate students. The research team conducted in-depth interviews across two campuses via Zoom. Interviews were coded using inductive thematic analysis.
Results: We derived six specific themes that summarize Black female college students' barriers to care: Patient-provider Interactions, Economic Determinants of Health, Social Support, Access to Care, Lack of Primary Care, and No Challenges.
Conclusion: Reproductive and sexual health disparities can be mitigated with attention to diversity in medical school, affordable care, and teaching young women to prioritize their care for long-term reproductive health.

is an international academic journal designed to meet the world-wide interest in the health of ethnic groups. It embraces original papers from the full range of disciplines concerned with investigating the relationship between ’ethnicity’ and ’health’ (including medicine and nursing, public health, epidemiology, social sciences, population sciences, and statistics). The journal also covers issues of culture, religion, gender, class, migration, lifestyle and racism, in so far as they relate to health and its anthropological and social aspects.
