83. Multimorbidity Burden Among Adolescents From the Health and Wellbeing Screening Programme, Y-Check, in Chitungwiza, Zimbabwe
Multimorbidity (the simultaneous presence of two or more chronic health conditions) is rarely investigated in adolescents, where health interventions are often siloed and disease-specific. Understanding morbidity patterns in this younger age group can inform appropriate interventions to improve health across the life course. We aimed to assess morbidity patterns among adolescents in Chitungwiza city, Zimbabwe. (Source: Journal of Adolescent Health)

84. Young People are not Hard to Reach, Services are: Participatory Development of a Comprehensive School- and Community-Based Health Screening Programme in Zimbabwe
Adolescents continually face individual and structural challenges that limit their access to health services and lead to poorer health outcomes. These include stigma and limited availability of youth-friendly services. To address this gap comprehensive interventions co-designed with adolescents are required. We aimed to co-design a comprehensive school- and community-based health and wellbeing check-up in Zimbabwe. (Source: Journal of Adolescent Health)

87. Determining the Role of Acculturative Stress in Predicting Mental Health Service Use Among Latinx Immigrants
Acculturative stress is an important social determinant of health for Latinx immigrants in the U.S., with multiple studies identifying a link between depression and acculturative stress in this population. However, far fewer studies have examined the specific role and relationship of acculturative stress on mental health service use in this population. Through the lens of Yang ’s 2016 Model of Immigrant Health Service Use, this study aimed to examine the role of acculturative stress in predicting mental health service use in a sample of Latinx immigrants in the Southeast U.S. (Source: Journal of Adolescent Health)

89. Beyond the Bump: Creating and Evaluating a Comprehensive Doula Services Program to Support Adolescents Throughout Pregnancy, Birth, and Postpartum
Pregnant adolescents experience sub-optimal maternal health outcomes such as high rates of preterm births and cesarean sections, and low rates of breastfeeding initiation. There is a need to design and evaluate strategies to support the wellbeing of adolescents during the perinatal period. Doula services are an evidence based approach to promote healthy pregnancies, births, and postpartum support. At the time of the intervention, there were no doula programs in DC with a specialized focus on adolescent parents (Source: Journal of Adolescent Health)

91. Exploring Barriers and Opportunities for Preventive Health Services for Young Adults: A Community-Led Youth Engagement Research Project
The transition from adolescence to young adulthood presents an opportunity for preventing disease and establishing lifelong health behaviors. However, high rates of discontinuity in primary care during this transition amplify healthcare disparities and lead to worsening health outcomes. Through youth participatory action research, in partnership with a hospital-based organization in New York City that provides tier-based support and mental health services for youth ages 14-24 (The Uptown Hub), we sought to understand the factors that affect access to primary care for young adults ages 18-24, with the following objectives: ...

92. Low Levels of Substance Use Preventive Care at Well-Visits Observed from Mid-Adolescence to Young Adulthood that Differed By Substance Use Status
Substance use (SU) is one of the most common causes of preventable death, injury, and disability. Clinicians are in a prime position to ask and advise adolescents about smoking, alcohol, and other SU. However, from mid-adolescence through young adulthood, we know little about the extent to which adolescents are engaged in well-visits and are asked and advised about SU, and if substance-using youth are getting these services. At three developmental stages (mid-adolescence, late-adolescence, young adulthood), we examined whether all adolescents received SU-preventive care and whether young people using cigarettes, alcohol, o...

93. Attitudes Toward and Preferences For Different Routes of Delivery of HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (Prep) Among Adolescent and Young Adult Transgender Men
Although HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) significantly reduces the risk of HIV transmission, PrEP uptake among youth remains suboptimal. Development of alternative delivery routes may improve uptake among at-risk youth, such as transgender and transmasculine youth (TGM), but little is known about TGM preferences for these delivery methods. Our aim was to explore TGM  preferences for different current and future PrEP delivery routes. (Source: Journal of Adolescent Health)

Maintenance of virologic suppression is a core strategy to achieving the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. (EHE) goals. For youth living with HIV (YHIV), the role of patient portals in supporting antiretroviral therapy adherence and HIV viral suppression continues to burgeon. This qualitative inquiry sought to determine how YHIV use their patient portals to support HIV care and identify pathways for its optimization. (Source: Journal of Adolescent Health)
