Health Information Technology to Reduce Disparities in Adolescent Health Outcomes: A Pragmatic Trial (NCT04372875)
Leveraging Health Information Technology to Reduce Health Disparities in Adolescent Health Outcomes: A Patient-Centered Approach
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
We will compare differences in sexually transmitted infection (STI) detection rates between sexual health survey (SHS)-derived electronic clinical decision support (CDS) versus usual care (e.g. no provision of CDS) using an interrupted time series design. We hypothesize that population-based STI detection rates will be higher when SHS-derived electronic CDS is provided compared to usual care. Secondary analysis will include a comparison of STI detection rates by sexual risk strata (high risk vs. at risk) and race/ethnicity.
