Health Information Technology to Reduce Disparities in Adolescent Health Outcomes: A Pragmatic Trial
Leveraging Health Information Technology to Reduce Health Disparities in Adolescent Health Outcomes: A Patient-Centered Approach
Who can join
Ages 15 to 21 · All sexes · Healthy volunteers welcome
Full eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Adolescents aged 15-21 years seeking care in the emergency department Exclusion Criteria: * Patients will be excluded if unable to understand English, are critically ill, cognitively impaired, or otherwise unable to provide consent for completion of the sexual health survey (SHS) and STI screening.
About the study
We will compare differences in sexually transmitted infection (STI) detection rates between sexual health survey (SHS)-derived electronic clinical decision support (CDS) versus usual care (e.g. no provision of CDS) using an interrupted time series design. We hypothesize that population-based STI detection rates will be higher when SHS-derived electronic CDS is provided compared to usual care. Secondary analysis will include a comparison of STI detection rates by sexual risk strata (high risk vs. at risk) and race/ethnicity.
What is being tested
- SHS-derived CDS (behavioral)
