In a recent survey by Trojan Brand Condoms, Ohio University was shown to be deficient when it comes to providing anonymous help for sexual health questions. However, the Student Health Services Web site, which OU officials had concerns about in the past, received a perfect score. When it was all said and done, OU got a 'B' average from Trojan Condoms. It is important to question the motivation of the survey, as Trojan benefits from any marketing gimmick with its name attached. But regardless, the survey did bring some good ideas to light.
