Data from a large pediatric primary care network demonstrates increases in positive depression and suicide risk screens during the COVID-19 pandemic.What's Known on This Subject: Adolescent mental heath concerns have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Adolescents are routinely screened for depression and suicidality in pediatric primary care, but past studies have not examined changes in these outcomes during the pandemic in the primary care setting.

IMPORTANCEMissed opportunities for human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination during pediatric health care visits are common.OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of online communication training for clinicians on missed opportunities for HPV vaccination rates overall and at well-child care (WCC) visits and visits for acute or chronic illness (hereafter referred to as acute or chronic visits) and on adolescent HPV vaccination rates.
This study elicited important end-user viewpoints by exploring the intersection between advanced automobile safety technology and human perception for the particular use case of teen drivers. For example, despite evidence that teens are the highest risk driving population, teens trust their own driving skills and competence more than in-vehicle technology. This understanding will ultimately advance the safety of teen drivers by identifying barriers to effective ADAS use.
