Brief Summary

Health risk screening in adolescent primary care is infrequently performed and results are rarely followed by targeted intervention. In response to the need for screening-linked interventions, the study team has developed and optimized a web-based, electronic Personalized Motivational Feedback tool referred to as "Check Yourself v2.0" Based on motivational interviewing, a technique to mobilize personal change, Check Yourself is designed to promote healthy choices for the multiple behaviors relevant to adolescents.

Detailed Description

The proposed study is a randomized controlled trial that compares the effectiveness of Check Yourself v2.0 to usual care. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of Check Yourself on reducing health risk behaviors and improving quality of care among adolescents receiving primary health care services relative to usual care.

Study Groups

Check Yourself v2.0

In the intervention group, adolescents complete Check Yourself which delivers personalized, motivational feedback on their health behaviors prior to their primary care appointment. Key components of Check Yourself include the provision of age normative feedback, goal setting strategies, and strategies to highlight discrepancies. Primary care providers will receive a summary report of health risk behaviors prior to their adolescent patient's primary care appointment.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Check Yourself v2.0

Intervention Type: BEHAVIORAL

In the intervention group, adolescents complete Check Yourself which delivers personalized, motivational feedback on their health behaviors prior to their primary care appointment. Key components of Check Yourself include the provision of age normative feedback, goal setting strategies, and strategies to increase motivation for healthy behaviors. Primary care providers will receive a summary report of health risk behaviors prior to their adolescent patient's primary care appointment.

Usual care

In the usual care group, patients are asked to complete health risk screening on a computer. No personalized feedback is provided to adolescents and primary care providers do not receive a summary report of the adolescent's health risk behaviors

Group Type: NO_INTERVENTION
