Research on Factors Related to Preventive Service Delivery for AYAs Elizabeth M. Ozer, PhD Professor of Pediatrics Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine University of California, San Francisco
System-level Community-clinic linkages Substantial evidence base links school-based clinics to increase receipt of preventive services Retail clinics are a growing source of care for youth AYAs are more likely than children to utilize retail clinics for primary care Coordinated networks shown to be successful in engaging hard-to-reach populations in care (e.g., foster youth, juvenile justice) Add source data Source: Harris SK, Aalsma MC, Weitzman ER, et al., 2017.
Optimizing the Clinical Encounter Clinician-Targeted Strategies Barriers to preventive service delivery: Knowledge/confusion around guidelines Time Self-efficacy Motivation to change practice Outcome expectancy Source: Harris SK, Aalsma MC, Weitzman ER, et al., 2017.
Optimizing the Clinical Encounter cont. Clinician-Targeted Strategies Of particular promise to address these barriers include: Brief screening tools with appropriate clinician training Integrating screening and clinician decision support – including integrating tools into innovative interactive technology & electronic medical record systems Source: Harris SK, Aalsma MC, Weitzman ER, et al., 2017.
Optimizing the Clinical Encounter cont. Parent Engagement Parents play an important role in the health care of AYAs Research shows that adolescents are less likely to receive preventive care if parents perceive it as unnecessary Tools and models to engage parents as partners in their child’s health care, while providing care that is confidential Source: Harris SK, Aalsma MC, Weitzman ER, et al., 2017.
Extend Clinicians’ Preventive Reach Using Technology Augment provider interactions with self- guided online-based prevention and treatment modules Social gaming platforms (e.g., physical activity, STD prevention) Social media/Apps Wearable devices Source: Harris SK, Aalsma MC, Weitzman ER, et al., 2017.
Needed Research to Increase Delivery of Preventive Services Implement & evaluate larger, practice- based multi-site research trials of promising clinician-focused interventions Incorporating screening and training tools Clinical decision support Electronic medical record systems Source: Harris SK, Aalsma MC, Weitzman ER, et al., 2017.
Needed Research to Increase Delivery of Preventive Services Demonstrate delivering CPS makes a difference for AYAs Some evidence that CPS can make a difference for adolescents in helmet & seatbelt use, sexual behavior, diet, exercise, drug use, drinking & driving Need to prioritize further rigorous, outcomes focused research on behavior change/ health outcomes Deepen understanding of effective components and timing for behavior change Source: Harris SK, Aalsma MC, Weitzman ER, et al., 2017.
Needed Research to Increase Delivery of Preventive Services Demonstrate delivering CPS makes a difference for AYAs Identify effective, brief, practical generalized interventions within developmental windows of opportunities Need greater focus on young adults Source: Harris SK, Aalsma MC, Weitzman ER, et al., 2017.
Needed Research to Increase Delivery of Preventive Services Implement & evaluate effectiveness of CPS interventions across settings and on broader scale Implement developmentally and culturally appropriate strategies to engage parents in the clinical encounter of AYAs & evaluate effects on receipt of CPS and health outcomes Source: Harris SK, Aalsma MC, Weitzman ER, et al., 2017.
Needed Research to Increase Delivery of Preventive Services How to best leverage new technological tools to enhance/improve AYA health services How to better align the delivery of preventive services to the needs of AYAs Source: Harris SK, Aalsma MC, Weitzman ER, et al., 2017.
