Overall risk of bias was as follows: low, 1 variable not present; moderate, 23 variables not present; and high, 45 variables not present. Reported barriers were time constraints and limited resources. In the Supplemental Information, we outline the details of our search strategy. Comprehensive Adolescent Risk Behavior Screening Studies. %PDF-1.7 % Survey to assess sexual history, sexual health knowledge, and desire for sexual health education. Even patients with a current primary care provider and those who were not sexually active were interested in inpatient interventions. The goal of the training is to provide an overview of the evidence-based recommendations outlined in the CDC Pediatric mTBI Guideline and to equip healthcare . However, lack of initial physician buy-in and administrative hurdles, such as funding for HPAs, training, and competition with other medical professionals (ie, social workers), made it difficult to transition this intervention into sustainable clinical practice.20 In 2 studies, researchers evaluated physician reminders to screen, including a home, education, activities, drugs, sexual activity, suicide and/or mood (HEADSS) stamp on paper medical charts and a distress response survey in the electronic health record (EHR). Although comprehensive risk behavior screens (eg, the American Academy of Pediatrics Bright Futures64 and HEADSS3,65) remain the gold standard, they have not been validated in the ED or hospital setting. Adolescents expressed that screening could lead to identification, prevention, and treatment of suicidal thoughts and/or behavior as well as provide an opportunity to connect with the nurse for those who lack other sources of support. Female adolescents showed preference for in-person counseling, from a person of authority (doctor, nurse) rather than from a peer counselor. Almost all patients deemed to have elevated suicide risk endorsed SI (SIQ-JR) and/or had a recent suicide attempt. Included studies were published between 2004 and 2019, and the majority (n = 38) of the studies took place in the ED setting, whereas 7 took place in the hospital setting, and only 1 took place in the urgent care setting. A sexual health screening electronic tool was acceptable to patients and feasible in terms of workflow in the ED. ED and hospital encounters present a missed opportunity for increasing risk behavior screening and care provision for adolescent patients; current rates of screening and intervention are low. Screening Tools: Pediatric Mental Health Minute Series - AAP Less than half of admitted patients had documented menstrual (32.8%) or sexual history (45.9%). Of respondents, 76.5% preferred an electronic survey to face-to-face interviews. PDF Mental Health Tools for Pediatrics - AAP A significant percentage of sexually active adolescents surveyed were potential candidates for EC. The experiences and opportunities offered in early childhood lay the foundation for how children grow, learn, build relationships, and prepare for school. Adolescents and clinicians were highly accepting of risk behavior screening in all settings and preferred electronic screening over a face-to-face interview. The use of standardized screening tools by pediatric providers is more effective in the identification of developmental, behavioral and psychosocial issues in children than clinical assessments alone.

In several of the included studies in the sexual activity domain, researchers looked at attitudes of adolescent patients, parents, and clinicians toward adolescents being screened in acute care settings. Study design and risk of bias are presented in Table 1. No documentation of sex of partners, partners STI risk, partners drug use, anal sex practice, or use of contraception other than condoms was found in charts reviewed. Studies were included on the basis of population (adolescents aged 1025 years), topic (risk behavior screening or intervention), and setting (urgent care, ED, or hospital). They described targeted computer modules as interventions for adolescents who screen positive or, alternatively, use of a universal education intervention, such as a wallet-sized informational card.
