132. Does the Minnesota Runaway Intervention Program for Sexually Victimized Adolescents Work as Theorized?
Runaway, sexually victimized adolescents require evidence-based interventions focused on reducing trauma symptoms, fostering healing, and promoting healthy development. The Minnesota Runaway Intervention Program (RIP), a nurse designed and health care focused intervention, aims to support sexually abused and exploited adolescents who have run away by reconnecting them to supportive relationships, resources, and environments. Theoretically informed by developmental traumatology, resilience theory, and positive youth development, this complex and individualized intervention proposes that enhancing participants ’ protective...

134. Maisha-Youth!: Gender Equity and Empowerment to Prevent Violence Among Adolescents and Young Adults in Tanzania
Intimate partner violence (IPV) begins early with estimates suggesting 24% of ever-partnered adolescent girls and young women ages 15-19 years have experienced l IPV already in their lifetime. In rural areas of Tanzania, 33% of girls and young women ages 15-24 years report having experienced IPV in just the past 12 months, and 48% reported an experience at some point in their lifetime. IPV is associated with a range of health problems including increased risk for HIV acquisition, anxiety and depression, and mortality. (Source: Journal of Adolescent Health)

135. Improving Contraception Counseling and Prescribing on Pediatric Hospital Medicine Service
The American Academy of Pediatrics, Center for Disease Control, and Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine advocate for contraception counseling for adolescents There is also evidence that adolescents are interested in learning about contraception while hospitalized, however rates of counseling and prescribing remain low. Our SMART aim was to increase the percentage of female adolescents prescribed contraception for any indication on the pediatric hospital medicine (PHM) service by 10% over the course of 12 months.

137. The Role of Refusal Self-Efficacy as a Mediator in Predicting Association Between Dating Violence and Sexual Risk Behaviors Among Adolescents: A Longitudinal Study
Adolescence is a critical stage for sexual development that coincides with the onset of dating relationships and the debut of sexual behavior, and teen dating violence (TDV) is prevalent in many of these relationships. While cross-sectional studies have shown that TDV victimization is linked to sexual risk behavior (SRB), the pathway between these variables is not well-understood. To address this knowledge gap, we explore the mediating role of self-efficacy to refuse sex in the longitudinal relationship between physical TDV victimization and subsequent SRB among adolescents.

141. Adolescents Presenting With Illicit Drug Toxicity from Opioid, Stimulant or Sedative Use: A National Cross-Sectional Survey of Canadian Pediatricians
Illicit drug toxicity is a public health emergency, with escalating mortality trends since the advent of synthetic opioids in the drug supply in 2016. Although predominantly viewed as an adult health issue, drug toxicity is a major concern in adolescents, and the leading cause of mortality in this age group in several jurisdictions. Despite this, education on substance use care including treatment and harm reduction for pediatricians is lacking. The purpose of this study was to determine the proportion of pediatricians and pediatric sub-specialists in Canada that care for young people between 12-18 years that have been inv...

142. What E-Cigarette Marketing in Retail Stores Appeals to Youth?
More than 2 million U.S. adolescents use e-cigarettes, despite known health harms and laws prohibiting tobacco sales to people under 21 years. Research shows that e-cigarette marketing is associated with adolescent e-cigarette use; however, studies have not asked adolescents about their perception of whether and how e-cigarette marketing in retail stores influences their purchasing and use behaviors. Such data can inform the development of e-cigarette counter-marketing aimed at reducing adolescent and young adult e-cigarette purchase and use, as well as inform regulation in the retail environment that might be effective in...

143. Acceptability of “Back To School”: A Novel Minecraft-Based E-Cigarette Prevention and Cessation Game
E-cigarette popularity has dramatically increased among adolescents in recent years. Programs that improve knowledge of associated health risks are crucial for the prevention and cessation of adolescent e-cigarette use. Educational games have been found to increase learning engagement among adolescents, and studies evaluating the acceptability and effectiveness of tobacco education games have shown promising outcomes. However, few games that address tobacco or broader e-cigarette use behaviors are made available to adolescents outside of the classroom, and even fewer, if any, leverage popular gaming platforms or have been ...

144. Pilot Study of a Telehealth + Mhealth Cannabis Use Intervention for Young Adults (MOMENT-V)
Cannabis use among young adults (YAs) 18-25 years is at the highest level in 20 years; almost 5 million YAs have cannabis use disorder (CUD). YAs with CUD, especially those of racial/ethnic minorities and lower income, face numerous barriers to treatment. To improve treatment access, we developed a virtual form of a counseling-plus-mhealth intervention, Momentary Self-Monitoring and Feedback + Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MOMENT-V). This open pilot preliminarily evaluated satisfaction and engagement with MOMENT-V. (Source: Journal of Adolescent Health)

145. Prevalence and Types of Social Risk in Adolescents Seeking Primary Care and Association With Healthcare Utilization
Studies have demonstrated that social risk (i.e., adverse social determinants of health) is associated with increased emergency department encounters and underutilization of primary care across pediatric age ranges. However, few have examined the association of social risk and healthcare utilization in adolescents specifically. Improved understanding of how social risk is associated with healthcare utilization can inform targeted interventions. This retrospective cohort study aims to describe the prevalence and types of social risk reported by families of adolescents seeking primary care in a general pediatrics practice an...

146. Gaps in Communication About Sexual Health and Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Between Adolescent Sexual Minority and Gender Diverse Assigned Males and Primary Care Providers
Adolescent sexual minority and/or gender diverse assigned males (ASM/GDM) are at increased risk of acquiring sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV, compared to other groups in the United States (US). HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a safe and highly effective HIV prevention strategy for adolescents. However, uptake among ASM/GDM remains low. Sexual health communication (SHC) with primary care providers (PCPs) has been shown to decrease the risk of acquiring STIs among adolescents by increasing condom use and STI testing/treatment.
