Brief Summary

This is an exploratory pilot study to evaluate the feasibility and potential effects of an innovative, individualized electronic inpatient sexual health intervention (iRAP) for adolescent females. The central hypothesis is that the electronic intervention, a sexual health questionnaire with tailored feedback based on the Trans Theoretical Model (TTM) of behavior change, will significantly increase adolescent females' requests for sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening and sexual health management during their hospital admission.

Conditions

Adolescent Behavior; Sexual Behavior

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Number of participants with requests for sexual health services, as assessed by sexual health options questionnaire

  All participants were able to request sexual health services while admitted to the hospital (options included: STI testing, speak with their MD, or watching contraception video). The services were offered using an electronic REDCap questionnaire, with prompt of "Would you like to request X during your hospital stay?" and response options of yes/no. The outcome will be assessed for each sexual health option (number of participants requesting STI testing, discussion with MD, or contraception video viewing) individually, as well as a variable created to show "any uptake" ie. request made for any one or more services.
