177. Supporting Youth Who Have Lost a Parent: Longitudinal Associations Between Aspects of the Parent-Child Relationship, Expressive Suppression, and Mental Health Outcomes
Learning how to support parentally bereaved youth is more relevant than ever following the unprecedented loss of life from COVID-19 (CDC, 2023; Kidman et al., 2021). Interestingly, there is considerable variation in youth ’s outcomes, with trajectories of increased risk for mental health problems and prolonged grief (e.g., Melhem et al., 2008; Pham et al., 2018) as well as resilience (e.g., Lin et al., 2004, Dowdney, 2000). Understanding what differentiates these contrasting trajectories can facilitate youth agency and promote resilience. (Source: Journal of Adolescent Health)

178. Understanding Traumatic Stress and Coping Behaviors Among Black Youth Who Have Been Exposed to Community Violence
Community violence disproportionally impacts Black youth threatening their health and well-being. While we know social support and meaning-making are strategies used to cope with traumatic stress, much less is known about how these strategies are employed by Black youth following exposure to community violence. To address this gap, we engaged Black youth exposed to community violence in a mixed methods study to understand the presence and expression of traumatic stress symptoms and the various types of coping strategies following the violent event.

179. Depression and Anxiety in Young Women Diagnosed With Pcos During Adolescence
International guidelines for adolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) recommend that all adolescents with PCOS be screened for anxiety and depression. Adolescents with PCOS have lower quality of life scores as compared to healthy peers, and elevated rates of anxiety and depression. In adults with PCOS, those with higher BMIs were more likely to have anxiety and depression compared to adults without PCOS. The aim of our study was to calculate rates of lifetime anxiety and depression diagnoses in young adults diagnosed with PCOS during adolescence, and to evaluate potential contributing factors.

181. Mother-Daughter Dyads ’ Perceptions of Long-Acting Reversible Contraception
Long-Acting Reversable Contraception (LARC) is a reliable method of contraception. In Texas, and an increasing number of other states, parents must provide permission for their daughters to start contraception. Thus, we sought to understand attitudes towards LARC among mother-daughter dyads. (Source: Journal of Adolescent Health)

182. Collecting Evaluation Data Remotely for Middle School Aged Children: Lessons Learned
Unique challenges exist collecting evaluation data at multiple timepoints remotely from 10-15-year-old youth. Challenges include youth ’s limited access to personal email addresses or electronic devices (e.g., cell phones), and retaining youth participants for follow-up surveys. The purpose of this abstract is to describe barriers identified during an adolescent pregnancy prevention pilot study and present pragmatic strategies to improve remote, multi-point data collection and retention.

184. Demonstrating Feasibility of a Transition Design Approach to Explore Adolescent Transition to Adulthood
Transition to adulthood is a multidimensional process that occurs across health, education, employment, financial, and community domains. Successful transition across these areas is crucial to the healthy development of adolescents and young adults. Multidisciplinary experts invested in transition have historically created strategies to measure and improve transition that are specific to their field and narrow in focus. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of Transition Design as a community-engaged research approach to assess and improve the transition to adulthood across multiple domains.

187. Daily Incontinence Context, Incontinence Negativity and Daily Mood Among Adolescents and Young Adults With Spina Bifida: Data from an Ecological Momentary Assessment Study
Research suggests that adolescents and adolescents and young adults with spina bifida (AYASB) find chronic SB-associated health conditions like urinary (UI) or fecal (FI) incontinence to generally bothersome. However, no studies evaluate specifically how different features of incontinence - such as frequency, volume or activity interference – may impact AYASB daily well-being. Because UI and FI are lifelong conditions, these data could support well-being focused interventions across the lifespan. (Source: Journal of Adolescent Health)

189. Young People ’s Knowledge and Understanding of Abortion Laws in a Non-Restrictive State Following the Dobbs Decision
Increased discourse about abortion following the Supreme Court vs. Dobbs decision in June 2022, complicated by different state laws and regulations, could complicate adolescent and young adult (AYA) understanding of abortion legality, leading to confusion for young people who may be misinformed about abortion laws and restrictions even if living in a permissive state. This creates health inequities for people who experience barriers to reproductive healthcare access. Our objective was to assess what adolescents and young adults understand about the legality of abortion in the state of Colorado (a state in which abortion is...

Despite increasing rates of Neisseria gonorrhea (GC) and Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infections among adolescents and young adults nationally, prior studies have demonstrated suboptimal screening in pediatric settings. Data regarding extra-genital testing for these infections are limited. The purpose of this study was to describe provider attitudes, knowledge, and practices around recommended sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing and identify barriers to extra-genital screening for GC and CT at a large urban pediatric teaching hospital.

Siriraj Poison Control Center (SiPCC) offers consultation services to healthcare professionals dealing with poison-related emergencies and harmful substances. Adolescents who required hospitalization due to substance-related issues or other problems might have engaged in risky sexual behaviors. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of sexual risk behaviors (SRBs) among adolescents who have been diagnosed with drug overdose and sought consultation from SiPCC. The secondary objectives included examining the correlation between substance use and SRBs, identifying risk factors associated with substance use disorder, and ...
