Determine the effectiveness of an electronic self-administered pre-visit planning tool allowing adolescents to list areas of concern to support shared decision-making and communication during an office visit through a randomized controlled trial (RCT).
Aim 1: Through qualitative data collection, characterize perspectives of adolescent girls and providers regarding the feasibility and acceptability of an electronic self-administered pre-visit planning tool allowing adolescents to list areas of concern to support shared decision-making and communication during an office visit. Interviews will also explore approaches to implement and evaluate such a tool. Aim 2: Determine the effectiveness of the tool through a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Aim 3: Synthesize outcomes, identify opportunities for improvement and plan next steps in both research, and if the tool works well, implementation.
