Promoting transportation safety in adolescence: The drivingly randomized controlled trial
ClinicalTrials.gov # NCT03639753
Frequency of communication about adolescents’ strengths and weaknesses and the parent–adolescent relationship
Despite prior research indicating that parents and adolescents perceive conversations about the adolescent’s strengths and weaknesses to be important, information about these conversations and how they are related to other facets of the parent-adolescent relationship is limited. In a sample of 171 parent-adolescent dyads (adolescents were 14-17 years old), we conducted an initial exploratory study on the frequencies of parent-adolescent discussio…
Feasibility and Acceptability of a Novel Primary Care-Based Intervention to Promote Parent-Teen Communication About Teen Strengths
Stereotyped Beliefs About Adolescents and Parent and Teen Well-Being: The Role of Parent-Teen Communication
Stereotyped beliefs about the teen years may guide individuals’ cognition, behaviors, and well-being. This study explored associations between parents’ generalized views of typical adolescents and parent and teen well-being and examined parent–adolescent communication (PAC) as a potential mechanism in that association. One-hundred twenty parent–teen dyads (adolescents: 13–15 years) were recruited from a pediatric primary-care practice in the Unit…
Daily Parent–Teen Conflict and Parent and Adolescent Well-Being: The Moderating Role of Daily and Person-Level Warmth
Parenthood and Motivation to Change in Homeless Older Adolescents
Parenthood among adolescents who are homeless is poorly studied. Understanding how these adolescents perceive parenthood is important for providing effective health care, public policy, and social services. Fifteen fathers and 16 mothers, ages 18 to 22, from a shelter in Philadelphia participated in semistructured interviews. Coding and analysis involved standard qualitative methodologies. Participants identified parenthood as an important turnin…
Changes in Young Adult Primary Care Under the Affordable Care Act
Objectives. We sought to describe changes in young adults’ routine care and usual sources of care (USCs), according to provider specialty, after implementation of extended dependent coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010. Methods. We used Medical Expenditure Panel Survey data from 2006 to 2012 to examine young adults’ receipt of routine care in the preceding year, identification of a USC, and USC provider specialties (pediatrics, fa…
HIV Testing Among Young Adults in the United States: Associations with Financial Resources and Geography
We estimated prevalence and odds ratios for self-reported HIV testing among sexually experienced young adults using nationally representative data obtained from Wave III of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). The prevalence of testing in the past year was 18.8%. Young adults who had private or no health insurance were less likely to report testing than were young adults who had public health insurance, particularly …
Prevalence of HIV Infection Among Young Adults in the United States: Results From the Add Health Study
Objectives. We estimated HIV prevalence rates among young adults in the United States. Methods. We used survey data from the third wave of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, a random sample of nearly 19000 young adults initiated in 1994–1995. Consenting respondents were screened for the presence of antibodies to HIV-1 in oral mucosal transudate specimens. We calculated prevalence rates, accounting for survey design, response ra…

Routine Physical Examination and Forgone Health Care among Latino Adolescent Immigrants in the United States
Infrequency of Sexually Transmitted Disease Screening Among Sexually Experienced U.S. Female Adolescents
CONTEXT: Since 1993, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and professional medical organizations have recommended that all sexually experienced female adolescents receive annual screening for Chlamydia trachomatis. Whether adolescents receive this care is largely unknown. METHODS: Reports of receipt of testing or treatment for a sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the past year, as well as sites of care, were obtained from 3,987 sexua…
Infrequency of Sexually Transmitted Disease Screening Among Sexually Experienced U.S. Female Adolescents
Continued inadequate screening may contribute to persisting high prevalence of chlamydia infection among adolescents. Future research is needed to determine whether the proportions of adolescents receiving recommended STD screening have increased over time

Perceived Risk of Chlamydial and Gonococcal Infection Among Sexually Experienced Young Adults In the United States
CONTEXT: Understanding young adults' perceived risk of chlamydial and gonococcal infection can inform interventions to reduce the prevalence of these sexually transmitted diseases.METHODS: Bivariate and multivariate analyses, using data from Wave 3 of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (2001-2002), were conducted to examine relationships between perceived risk and selected characteristics in two groups: a nationally representati…

Perceived Risk of Chlamydial and Gonococcal Infection Among Sexually Experienced Young Adults In the United States
Interventions to increase the accuracy of young adults' risk perceptions may influence sexual and health care-seeking behaviors in a way that will reduce rates of chlamydia and gonorrhea
Foregone Health Care Among Adolescents
CONTEXT: No annual national population estimates exist of the numbers of adolescents who think they need but do not receive health care or their risk of health problems. OBJECTIVE: To describe the proportion of adolescents who report foregone health care each year and the influence of sociodemographic factors, insurance status, past health care, and health risks/behaviors on foregone care. DESIGN: Cross-sectional analyses of data from wave 1 of t…
