“…This is consistent with past research on adolescent attitudes about help-seeking behavior for health issues, which found that adolescents preferred help from different sources depending on age, gender, and the healthcare issue being discussed [9,10]. Similarly, parental awareness of vaccination and consent for vaccination were important to adolescents in our survey.…”

“…2 Interventions delivered by primary health care providers can also play an important role in prevention and cessation. 1,2,7 Research suggests that adolescents view physicians as a preferred source of smoking cessation information, 8,9 and between 68% and 84% of adolescents under age 18 years report seeing a doctor at least annually. 3,10 Accordingly, a number of national guidelines recommend that health care providers offer adolescents tobacco use screening, education, and counseling during theirannual visit.…”

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Cigarette smoking during adolescence causes significant health problems. Health care providers play an important role in promoting tobacco use abstinence among adolescents, but recent data on the prevalence of provider screening and advice to adolescents are lacking. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:This study uses nationally representative surveillance data to provide current estimates of self-reported receipt of health professional screening and advice about tobacco use among US adolescents. Cessation behaviors and correlates of past-year quit attempts among smokers were also explored. abstract BACKGROUND: Health care providers play an important role in promoting tobacco use abstinence among adolescents. This study aimed to provide nationally representative data on the prevalence of provider tobacco use screening and advice delivered to adolescents. Cessation behaviors and correlates of past year quit attempts among current smokers are also explored. METHODS:Data came from the 2011 National Youth Tobacco Survey, a nationally representative school-based survey of adolescents in grades 6 through 12 (n = 18 385). Provider screening and advice were assessed by smoking status and demographic characteristics. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between advice and past year quit attempt. RESULTS:The overall prevalence of current tobacco use was 16.6%; 10.8% were current cigarette smokers (3.6% were established smokers, 7.2% were nonestablished smokers); 17.3% were former smokers; and 71.9% were never smokers (22.6% high susceptibility, 77.4% low susceptibility). Among all respondents, the prevalence of being asked about tobacco use by a health care provider was 32.2%; the prevalence of being advised to quit or avoid tobacco was 31.4%. Established smokers were more likely than other groups to report provider assessment of tobacco use and advice. Receipt of advice was associated with a higher adjusted odds of having made a past year quit attempt (odds ratio: 1.47, 95% confidence interval: 1.18-1.82).

“…Norcross et al (1996) reported that among adult patients, those who were married were more likely than unmarried patients to be influenced to seek health care by a member of the opposite sex; with more male patients following this pattern than female patients. Another study showed that in addition to citing mothers as top sources of health care information (Ackard & Neumark-Sztainer, 2001;Aten, Siegel, & Roghmann, 1996), adolescents cited romantic partners and friends as important sources of health information about sex (Marcell & Halpern-Felsher, 2007). A third study showed that mother's influence on her adolescent's tendency to seek medical care persisted as a main effect after controlling for sex, age, race, birth order, socioeconomic status, and intellectual ability (Fox, 1991).…”

Women serve as important health information sources for young men. No previous study has explored women's perceptions about this role related to young men's sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care. Twenty African American women recruited from two clinics participated in three focus groups to explore perceptions to engage young men in SRH care. Themes were identified that may facilitate and/or hinder women to engage young men in SRH care: 1) communication/actions to provide support; 2) challenges in providing support; 3) traditional gender role perceptions and other access barriers; and 4) motivation, influence and control. Participants were interested and willing to support young men's SRH including sharing information about clinics (95%), making appointments (90%), going to visits together (90%), and having joint appointments (67%). Findings provide a foundation for programs interested to engage women as health promotion agents to improve young men's SRH care access. Future efforts should explore the generalizability of study findings.
