Hospitalization represents an opportunity for providing sexual and contraception counseling for this high-risk population. Our aim in this study was to assess the frequency of sexual and contraception history documentation in hospitalized adolescents and identify subgroups that may benefit from more vigilant screening.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n A retrospective chart review of adolescent patients 11 years of age and older who were discharged from the pediatric hospitalist service at an urban, academic children\u2019s hospital from July 2017 to June 2018 was conducted. Patient and admission characteristics were analyzed for presence of sexual and contraception history documentation. Technology-dependent patients were analyzed separately. In addition, technology-dependent patients were assessed by chart review for developmental appropriateness for screening.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n Twenty-five percent of patients (41 of 165) had a sexual history documented, and 8.5% (14 of 165) had a contraception history documented. Among patients with any technology dependence, 0 had a sexual history documented and only 1 had a contraception history documented, whereas 31.5% (12 of 38) were deemed developmentally appropriate for screening. Female and older patients were more likely to have sexual and contraceptive histories documented than male and younger patients. Patients transferred from the PICU had lower rates of sexual history documentation compared with direct admissions.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n Hospitalized adolescents, especially those with technology dependence, did not have adequate sexual and contraception histories documented. Improving documentation of these discussions is an important step in providing adolescents with preventive medicine services while hospitalized.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1542\/hpeds.2019-0113","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,2]],"date-time":"2019-12-02T14:16:02Z","timestamp":1575296162000},"page":"967-973","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Sexual History and Contraception Documentation in Hospitalized Adolescents: Are Technology-Dependent Patients Overlooked?"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"James M.","family":"Walston","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pediatrics and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Byron A.","family":"Foster","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pediatrics and"},{"name":"Dermatology,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tiffany A.","family":"Gardner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oregon Health and Science University, Portland Oregon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hanae","family":"Benchbani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oregon Health and Science University, Portland Oregon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michelle","family":"Noelck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pediatrics and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jared P.","family":"Austin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pediatrics and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"417","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"2021120817071205800_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"61","DOI":"10.1093\/pch\/13.1.61","article-title":"Issues of care for hospitalized youth","volume":"13","author":"Findlay","year":"2008","journal-title":"Paediatr Child Health"},{"key":"2021120817071205800_B2","unstructured":"US Preventive Services Task Force.
