Use of an Electronic Pre-visit Questionnaire and Effect on Patient-provider Discussions of Youth Violence in Primary Care
Pediatricians are supposed to talk about youth violence at all heath supervision visits,
however these types of conversations rarely occur. There have been no studies assessing
tools to prompt these discussions. The goal of this study is to see if electronic pre-visit
questionnaires (PVQs) prompt patient-provider discussion of youth violence (YV) in the
primary care setting. Additionally, patient-provider characteristics are explored as
mediators to youth violence discussions, as well as feasibility and acceptability of the PVQ
by patients and providers.
Adolescents ages 13 to 21 who come to the Hasbro Primary Care Clinics for annual physicals
will be recruited. A baseline phase was conducted to look at how often providers ask about
health-related teen behaviors, assessed by exit survey. The experimental period will
involve adolescents completing health-related behavior PVQ, given to their doctor prior to
the visit. Exit survey will assess topics discussed. Experimental group will differ from
control group based on PVQ containing extra questions about youth violence.
