PURPOSE
Sexually active adolescents are at risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), yet screening is infrequently performed during pediatric visits. Lack of parent support and confidentiality are barriers. We explored whether parents of 15- to 17-year-olds would accept chlamydia and gonorrhea screening for their adolescent during a pediatric visit and assessed parental views on the importance of sexual health services.
METHODS
A survey of 168 parents of adolescents was conducted during an outpatient pediatric office visit in Western Pennsylvania.
RESULTS
Most parents (63%) accept STI screening for their adolescent during a pediatric visit, and 73% think it is important that adolescents spend time alone with their provider. Parents ranked the importance of discussing sexual health as high as other preventive health topics.
CONCLUSIONS
Given the burden of STIs among adolescents, pediatricians should use this information to facilitate STI screening during office visits, secure time alone with their patients, and offer sexual health counseling.
目的
性活跃的青少年有感染性传播感染（STI）的风险，但在儿科就诊时很少进行筛查。缺乏父母的支持和保密性是障碍。我们探讨了 15 至 17 岁青少年的父母是否会接受儿科就诊时为其青少年进行衣原体和淋病筛查，并评估了父母对性健康服务重要性的看法。
方法
在宾夕法尼亚州西部的一家门诊儿科诊所对 168 名青少年的父母进行了调查。
结果
大多数父母（63%）接受在儿科就诊时为其青少年进行性传播感染筛查，73%的父母认为青少年与提供者单独相处的时间很重要。父母将讨论性健康的重要性与其他预防保健话题一样高。
结论
鉴于青少年中 STI 的负担，儿科医生应该利用这些信息在就诊期间促进 STI 筛查，确保与患者单独相处，并提供性健康咨询。
