  1. Latest Developments in Adolescent Health Care Mark G. Martens, M.D. Vice-President and Chief Medical Officer Planned Parenthood of Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma Research Center Professor Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology The University of Oklahoma-Tulsa President- International Infectious Disease Society for Obstetricians and Gynecologists

  2. BACKGROUND • Majority of adolescent morbidity/ mortality is preventable

  3. Leading Causes of Mortality in Adolescents Ages 10-19

  4. MORBIDITY/MORTALITY • Accidents and injuries leading cause of death for both males and females • Many of these accidents involve alcohol and other substances

  5. MORBIDITY/MORTALITY • Sexually transmitted diseases are common infectious diseases among adolescents • Among adolescents ages 15-19, pregnancy and childbirth are the leading causes of hospitalization

  6. BACKGROUND • Risky behaviors co-occur • Behaviors responsible for leading causes of morbidity/mortality during adulthood are initiated during second decade of life (e.g., smoking, substance use, physical inactivity, risky sexual behavior)

  7. PROMOTE ADOLESCENT HEALTH • Requires participation of • Adolescents • Families • Schools • Communities • Federal, state & community policies

  8. PROMOTE ADOLESCENT HEALTH • Health care system • Most adolescents see a primary care provider at least once a year

  9. ADOLESCENT CLINICAL GUIDELINES Recommend that primary care providers screen & counsel adolescent patients for risky health behaviors

  10. ADOLESCENT CLINICAL GUIDELINES • National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Guidelines (HEDIS) have Adolescent-Specific Measures: • Screening for alcohol use • Annual visit to provider • Immunization status • Screening sexually active females for Chlamydia trachomatis (Over 15 years old)

  11. ADOLESCENT CLINICAL GUIDELINES • Despite guidelines, current delivery of preventive services below recommended levels • Limited research on how to implement adolescent preventive services

  12. RISK AREAS • Risky behaviors associated with major morbidity and mortality in adolescence: • Tobacco • Alcohol • Drugs • Sexual Behavior • Seatbelt • Helmet

  13. SEXUAL BEHAVIOR • Increase condom use • Delay onset • SUBSTANCE USE • Decrease initiation • Decrease use • TOBACCO • Decrease initiation • Decrease smoking • SEATBELTS • Increase seatbelt use • HELMETS • Increase helmet use • SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION OF PREVENTIVE SERVICES • Increased Screening • Increased Counseling INCREASE PREVENTIVE SERVICES TO ADOLESCENTS

  14. GOAL • Develop and evaluate a system intervention to increase the delivery of adolescent clinical preventive services

  15. SYSTEM INTERVENTION TO INCREASE DELIVERY OF CLINICAL PREVENTIVE SERVICES CURRENT DELIVERY OF PREVENTIVE SERVICES IMPROVED DELIVERY OF PREVENTIVE SERVICES Provider Training Tools Health Educator

  16. TRAINING • 8-Hour Training for Pediatric Primary Care Providers • Adolescent Health and Development • Effective Communication with Adolescents • Give Clinicians Targeted Specific Messages about Risk Behaviors

  17. TOOLS • Adolescent Health Screening Questionnaire • Provider Charting Form • Provides information from the Adolescent Health Screening Questionnaire to indicate health behavior of the patients • Provides prompts and cues for provider intervention

  18. GUIDELINES FOR PROVIDER INTERVENTION • Not Engaging in Risky Behavior • Reinforce positive behaviors

  19. GUIDELINES FOR PROVIDER INTERVENTION • Engaging in Risky Behavior • Confirm response • Express concern about risky behavior • Provide key messages

  20. KEY MESSAGESKey Messages for Sexual Behavior Message 1 Avoiding sex is the safest way to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases or AIDS.

  21. KEY MESSAGESKey Messages for Sexual Behavior Message 2 If you choose to have sex, be responsible. Use a condom every time you have sex. If you don’t have a condom, don’t have sex. To ensure you don’t get pregnant or get your partner pregnant, and as a backup to a condom, use another form of birth control

  22. INTERVENTION PROCEDURE • Adolescent Health Screening Questionnaire prior to well-visit • Provider well-visit • 20 to 30 minutes • Health Educator visit • 15 to 30 minutes

  23. Four in ten girls get pregnant at least once before age 20. Source: National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy analysis of Henshaw, S.K., U.S..

  24. International Pregnancy and Birth Rates, Teens 15-19 The United States has much higher teen pregnancy and birth rates than other fully industrialized countries. U.S. teen pregnancy rates are twice as high as rates in Canada and eight times as high as rates in Japan. UNICEF. (2001). A league table of teenage births in rich nations. Innocenti Report Card, 3. Pregnancy rates were calculated by the National Campaign using birth and abortion data from this report and miscarriage data which were estimated using the formula the Alan Guttmacher Institute uses in generating U.S. teen pregnancy data, with miscarriages=20% of births + 10% of abortions.

  25. The consequences of teen motherhood are many: • Less likely to complete high school • Dependence on welfare • Single parenthood • More likely to have more children sooner on a limited income • More likely to abuse or neglect the child National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy.
