Abstract: College health and mental health services respond increasingly to students whose health needs, mental health concerns, and wellness behaviors are affected or compounded by identity factors. In this Comment, we suggest that employing an awareness of intersecting identities and their effects can improve the provision of college health services. In this way, we extend the Journal of American College Health's longstanding conversations about evidence-based practices and well-defined student populations. We review the intersecting identities construct, demonstrate its relevance to college health practice, and for clarity, distinguish the intersecting identities heuristic as a clinical tool from the use of intersectionality language in other more sociopolitical settings.
