Trial of Automated Risk Appraisal for Adolescents

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Substance Use, Depression, Suicidal Ideation, Risk Behavior

In brief

This is a study to find out which type of computer screening and nursing support can improve screening for high risk behaviors in doctor's offices. Recommendations call for doctors to screen young people for many different behaviors and feelings such as depression, not wearing seat belts, alcohol and drug use. Doctors rarely have time to complete these screenings. New computers can help ask some of these questions and protect patient information. In addition, nurse telephone calls can often help young persons with some of the behaviors receive treatment. This study will examine which type of computer screening and follow-up will help patients the most.
