28. From Individual Motivation to Initiation: A Longitudinal Cohort Study Assessing the Associations Between Behavioral Motivation Traits and Risk of Substance Use Initiation Among us Adolescents
Adolescence is a developmental period characterized by substantial neurodevelopmental changes within brain reward learning and motivational systems, which leads to adolescents ’ increased likelihood to pursue risk-taking, novelty, and sensation seeking behaviors. Previous imaging studies have shown a link between these neurobiological changes and adolescents’ substance use behavior. However, no epidemiologic studies have explored the associations between behavioral mo tivation traits and substance use initiation among adolescents. (Source: Journal of Adolescent Health)

29. Optimizing the Electronic Medical Record to Facilitate the Delivery of Early Substance Use Intervention and Treatment Services for Youth
Substance use usually begins during adolescence, making prevention and early intervention programs that target this age group the logical way to reduce costs and gain healthy, productive years of life. This project aims to enhance the awareness and delivery of evidence-based screening within a large primary care network with the development of a clinical decision support tool embedded within the electronic medical record.

32. Adolescents With Chronic Illnesses: Discovering Eating Disorder Susceptibility and their Health Risks
Medical advances have improved survival rates and treatment outcomes for children and adolescents, with some leading to disease cure while others resulted in chronic conditions. Those, with chronic health conditions, particularly during adolescence might be at risk for emotional and psychological problems, contributing by their developments. During a critical period for body image concerns, they may be at risk of developing unhealthy eating behaviors and eating disorders. Research had shown that those with chronic illnesses were more prone to these issues compared to their healthier peers. (Source: Journal of Adolescent Health)

34. Successful Integration of Digital Psychosocial Screening into Paediatric Hospital Systems for Adolescents and Young Adults
Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA) living with chronic conditions are recognised to have a higher incidence of psychosocial morbidities. HEEADSSS psychosocial interview has been an accepted approach to screening, with recognition that indirect methods yield higher rates of disclosure than face to face ascertainment. The Sydney Children ’s Hospitals Network (SCHN) integrated a digital screening system into its electronic medical record (EMR) available to all staff in 2019 to support standardised psychosocial assessment in all AYA encounters, for example in emergency departments and adolescent wards.

35. Preferences and Experiences of Parents/Guardians of Adolescents and Young Adults With Epilepsy and Intellectual Disability on Decision-Making Surrounding Contraception
To explore the preferences of parents/guardians of adolescents and young adults (AYA) of childbearing potential with co-occurring epilepsy and intellectual disability (ID) regarding decision making surrounding contraception/birth control. We explore and better understand the information they find important to receive from physicians, factors that affect their contraceptive decisions, and sources of anxiety surrounding these medications.

36. Provider Perspectives on Gender-Affirming Hormonal Treatment in Sickle Cell Disease
Many gender minority adolescents and young adults (AYA) pursue gender-affirming medical care, including hormonal treatment. For gender minority AYA with sickle cell disease (SCD), an inherited hematologic disease associated with increased thrombosis risk, use of hormonal treatment presents theoretical hormone-related thrombogenic effects. We explored subspecialty provider perspectives related to gender-affirming hormones among gender minority AYA with SCD. (Source: Journal of Adolescent Health)

37. The Need to Improve Sexual and Reproductive Health Counseling and Screening by Pediatric Subspecialists for Adolescents Prescribed Teratogenic Medications
Teratogenic medication use is ubiquitous among adolescents with chronic disease. Little is known regarding sexual and reproductive health (SRH) counseling and screening related to teratogen prescription by pediatric subspecialists. Rheumatologists in particular prescribe a proportionally high number of teratogens. Our purpose was to describe these practices among a broad sample of rheumatologists caring for adolescents.

38. Health Care Utilization in the College Setting: Perspectives of Emerging Adults With Type 1 Diabetes
Health care transition is associated with poor health outcomes if not planned. Moving to college is a significant life event for many emerging adults, especially those with special health care needs. For students living with type 1 diabetes (T1D), the transition to both adult care and college is often characterized by stress and difficulty self-managing the disease. The Health Care Transition Research Consortium model seeks to provide a theoretical framework for the transition experiences of adolescents; however, it does not consider the ancillary health services available at or near college campuses.

41. Feasibility of Snack Provision in a Multidisciplinary Eating Disorder Clinic
Eating disorders in adolescents and young adults have been on the rise over the last several years, especially since the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic. This has led to an increase in inpatient hospitalizations as well as increase in teens and their families seeking outpatient treatment and therapy of their eating disorder. Due to the high risk of physical and nutritional decompensation, early diagnosis and intervention may lead to better outcomes. Family Based Treatment (FBT) is an evidence-based treatment approach that is recommended for patients with eating disorders, primarily Anorexia Nervosa. (Source: Journal of Adolescent Health)
