Using the 2001-2004 Medical Expenditures Panel Survey, we examined rates of past-year adolescent time alone with a clinician by visit type, and among youths with a preventive visit, examined age, gender, and race/ethnicity differences. Youths with a preventive visit have higher rates of time alone; rates for these youths increase with age, are higher for males (42%) versus females (37%), and are lowest among Hispanics. Time alone rates are low, especially for younger females and Hispanic youths. Special efforts are needed to increase time alone in these populations.
利用 2001-2004 年医疗支出面板调查,我们按就诊类型考察了过去一年青少年与临床医生单独相处的时间比例,在有预防性就诊的青少年中,我们考察了年龄、性别和种族/族裔差异。有预防性就诊的青少年与医生单独相处的时间比例更高;这些青少年的比例随年龄增长而增加,男性(42%)高于女性(37%),西班牙裔最低。单独相处的时间比例较低,尤其是年龄较小的女性和西班牙裔青少年。需要特别努力增加这些人群的单独相处时间。
