The goal of this trial is to test a novel means of collecting patient-entered sexual health
information for the provision of clinical decision support to increase the testing and
detection of sexually transmitted infections (STI) in adolescent emergency department (ED)
patients at high risk for STIs.
information for the provision of clinical decision support to increase the testing and
detection of sexually transmitted infections (STI) in adolescent emergency department (ED)
patients at high risk for STIs.
The investigators have developed a novel means of collecting sexual health information from
adolescents in the emergency department (ED) through the use of an audio-computer assisted
self-interview (ACASI). This information can then be used to provide clinical decision
support to clinicians for targeted sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening in the ED
for adolescents. This randomized trial randomizes patients to whether or not the clinician
receives the decision support and tests whether provision of decision support results in
increased STI screening for patients who report high risk sexual activity. Secondary
outcomes include evaluation of whether the clinical decision support results in increased
STI detection, and identifying factors associated with adapting the clinical decision
support.
