Experimental: I-ACT With Check Yourself
Adolescents completed Check Yourself which delivered personalized, motivational feedback to them on their health behaviors prior to their primary care appointment. Primary care providers received training (I-ACT) and the Check Yourself summary report of health risk behaviors before the adolescent's appointment. I-ACT consisted of online, interactive training in adolescent-preferred communication methods and motivational interviewing, with booster sessions and feedback reports to reinforce new skills.
No Intervention: Usual Care
In the usual care group, adolescents are asked to complete health risk screening on a computer. No personalized feedback is provided to adolescents and primary care providers do not receive I-ACT or the Check Yourself summary report of the adolescent's health risk behaviors.
