Brief motivational intervention to improve adolescent sexual health service uptake: A pilot randomized controlled trial in the emergency department
The Journal of Pediatrics Jun 20, 2021
Miller MK, Catley D, Adams A, et al. - Experts aspired to explore whether motivational sexual health intervention (SexHealth) would increase health service uptake when compared with control. Sexually active adolescents received either the SexHealth intervention or printed materials (control) in a randomized controlled trial at a pediatric emergency department (ED). SexHealth, delivered by a health educator, was a tablet-based, interactive intervention that involved motivational techniques to promote sexual health, condom skills training, and tailored service recommendations. The sample consisted of 91 participants (intervention = 44; control = 47). SexHealth was feasible to implement, acceptable to young people, and resulted in increased use of health services during ED visits. Additional strategies may be required to extend the effects of interventions over time.
