Abstract	Sexual and reproductive health and well-being plays a central role in the lives of young adults. Having the ability to plan whether and when to become pregnant, to protect against sexually transmitted infections, and to receive essential medical care during pregnancy, for example, have important effects on young people's lives--including their ability to earn a postsecondary education. Ensuring community college students have access to the care, information, and resources they need to take care of their sexual and reproductive health is an important factor in their ability to achieve their educational goals. This report shares findings from an Institute for Women's Policy Research (IWPR) study of promising practices for providing sexual and reproductive health services to community college students in the United States. Based on a scan of efforts to provide community college students with sexual and reproductive health services, interviews with key experts in the fields of higher education and reproductive health, and a literature review, IWPR identified the major programs, strategies, challenges, and opportunities related to improving access in community college contexts. The report describes existing gaps in service provision and highlights a range of practices that can be replicated and scaled up to expand access for community college students. (As Provided).
