This study used Uncertainty Management Theory and 41 interviews with college students and health center staff and providers to uncover the types of health services uncertainty students experienced and how students used communication to manage uncertainty. Students experienced institutional uncertainty pertaining to services, logistics, and quality-of-care. Participants who viewed this uncertainty negatively sought to reduce it via passive- and experiential-information seeking. Students who appraised uncertainty neutrally or positively maintained it by ignoring or avoiding information. Other students increased uncertainty by seeking second opinions. Findings suggest that promoting health services year-round and incentivizing patient referrals may help students manage both uncertainty and their health.}, number={8}, journal={HEALTH COMMUNICATION}, author={Romo, Lynsey K. and Luurs, Geoffrey}, year={2021}, month={Jul}, pages={1009–1017} }

To assess claims regarding the nature of the relationship between sexting and sexual behavior, we conducted a critical review of the literature and analyzed data from 15 articles via quantitative meta-analytic techniques. Sexting behavior was positively related to sexual activity, unprotected sex, and one's number of sexual partners, but the relationship was weak to moderate. Additional information, gleaned from a critical review of included studies, helped contextualize these findings and point to specific limitations and directions for future research.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF COMPUTER-MEDIATED COMMUNICATION}, author={Kosenko, Kami and Luurs, Geoffrey and Binder, Andrew R.}, year={2017}, month={May}, pages={141–160} }
