Study Details

Brief summary:

During adolescence, the most common causes of morbidity and mortality are related to risky behaviors. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that adolescents be screened for these behaviors during primary care visits, but many adolescents do not receive the recommended risk behavior screening and counseling, in part because they are infrequently seen in primary care. The objective of this study is to evaluate if the electronic health screening tool, which includes an electronic health assessment with integrated personalized feedback, reduces risk behaviors in adolescents seen in the Emergency Department (ED).

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

no intervention: Control

Participants will complete the electronic health assessment only and will not receive integrated personalized feedback

experimental: Intervention

Participants will complete the electronic health assessment and will receive integrated personalized feedback

Interventions

Integrated personalized feedback

Integrated personalized feedback about self-reported risk behaviors will be generated and shown to participants as they complete their baseline health risk assessment using the CheckED Yourself app. The integrated personalized feedback is based on motivational feedback strategies such as normative feedback (comparison to peer behaviors and age-based health guidelines), increasing knowledge regarding potential consequences of behaviors, and providing practical tips for changing behavior.
