in the past 12 months

AH-2 Increase the proportion of adolescents who participate in extracurricular

and/or out-of-school activities

AH-3 Increase the proportion of adolescents who are connected to a parent or

other positive adult caregiver

AH-4 (Developmental) Increase the proportion of adolescents and young adults

who transition to self-sufficiency from foster care

AH-5 Increase educational achievement of adolescents and young adults

AH-6 Increase the proportion of schools with a school breakfast program


4

AH-7 Reduce the proportion of adolescents who have been offered, sold, or

identity

AH-10 Reduce the proportion of public schools with a serious violent incident

AH-11 Reduce adolescent and young adult perpetration of, and victimization by,

crimes


5


AH-3 Increase the proportion of adolescents who are connected to a parent or other positive adult caregiver

Clinical Application: Screen

InterveneRefer

Follow up

Practitioners are encouraged to promote the involvement of the adolescent and family in meaningful activities through local community centers, schools, churches, and other organizations serving youth.

6


AH-4 (Developmental) Increase the proportion of adolescents and young adults who transition to self-sufficiency from foster care.


InterveneRefer

Follow up

Adolescents in foster care experience complex health care needs and face multiple barriers in receiving the necessary and appropriate health care services. Developing a plan is essential to the future of these emerging adults.

7


AH-5 Increase educational achievement of adolescents and young adults.


InterveneRefer

Follow up

Many adolescents’ lives are characterized by poverty and high levels of social disorganization and disadvantage. Indicators of widening polarization between those who do and do not appear headed for a secure economic future, screening for learning disabilities and referring these adolescents is essential.

8


AH-9 (Developmental) Increase the proportion of middle and high schools that prohibit harassment based on a student’s sexual orientation or gender identity.


InterveneRefer

Follow up Advocacy - Parents and other formal and informal caregivers such as youth workers and foster parents were found to exert a large influence on the behaviors that bolster mental health among high-risk youth marginalized by poverty, social stigma, personal and physical characteristics, ethnicity, and poor social or academic performance.

Adolescent NutritionNutrition and Weight Status

and Physical Activity

• Reduce the proportion of adolescents aged 12 to 19 years who are considered obese– Baseline: 17.9%

• Prevent inappropriate weight gain in adolescents

• Use available tools: HEAT guidelines or AAP guidelines

10

Identifying Overweight and Obesity in Pediatrics

• In literature, Melamed et al. and Bardia et al. found that providers accurately coded obesity 19-24% of the time.

• We know that patients respond positively to recommendations

• Must identify early and plot accordingly and discuss with patients and families

• Discuss some recommendations

11

Motivational InterviewingPrevention and Management

• Successful in smoking cessation, shows promise in promoting healthy lifestyles

• When you become proficient in MI, may not take much longer than traditional questions– Are you happy with your weight?– How does your current weight make you feel?

• Use available tools to showcase current status

12

Documentation and Follow-up

• Reimbursement is an issue, depends on the insurance your practice works interacts with– Not all states recognize and reimburse appropriately, but things are improving

– Abnormal weight gain 783.1– Coding BMI accurately

• Within 5-85th percentile v85.52• 85-94th percentile v85.53• Greater than 95th percentile v85.54

– Use in conjunction with:• v65.3 dietary surveillance and counseling• v65.41 exercise counseling

Community Resources

• CHOA’s Strong4Life training coming to your community

• Provider toolkits offer some good resources for all ages

• Health for Life clinics use multiple providers• Some group such as Amerigroup may reimburse for Weight Watchers

• Engage the whole family in life changes

Underage Drinking and the Role of the Pediatric Health Care Provider in Recognition and

Prevention

15

Scope of the Problem

• Underage Drinking is a leading public health problem in this country

• Alcohol is the most widely used substance of abuse among youth

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), The Surgeon General's Call to Action to Prevent and Reduce Underage Drinking. HHS, Office of the Surgeon General, 2007.

16

Scope of the Problem• The average age when youth first try alcohol is:

11 years for boys

13 years for girls

• 41% of children have had at least one drink by the age of 14.

• The average age at which Americans begin drinking regularly is 15.9 years old

17

Effects of Alcohol on the Developing Brain

Hippocampus:• Important for learning and memory, converting short term memory to more permanent memory, and for recalling spatial relationships

• Long term alcohol use results in 10% smaller hippocampus

• Short term or moderate drinking impairs learning and memory more in youths than adults

http://odp.idaho.gov/underage_drinking_files/Final%20tabloid_files/Final%20Tabloid.pdf

18

Consequences of Underage Drinking

• Annually, more than 5,000 deaths of people under age 21 are linked to underage drinking. Nearly a third of all youth traffic fatalities involved crashes with alcohol-impaired young drivers

• 10 to 12% of high school students have reported driving after drinking

• 28% of high school students reported riding in a car in the past month with someone who had been drinking

http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/pdf/ss/ss5905.pdf

19


• 69.3% of 9th through 12th graders who consumed liquor in 2005-2006 reported having trouble with police

• High alcohol consumption is associated with lower GPAs, lower academic achievement, and lower wage potential

http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/pdf/ss/ss5905.pdf

20


• At least one half of all violent crimes involve alcohol consumption by the perpetrator, the victim, or both

• Youth alcohol use is related to an increased risk of sexually transmitted disease and unplanned pregnancy

• Fourteen- and 15-year-olds who use alcohol are 4 and 7 times as likely, respectively, to have sexual intercourse as their peers who do not consume alcohol, and these 15-year-olds have as many as 4 sexual partners

Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2002;(3):CD003024

21


• Alcohol use is also associated with an increased risk of physical or sexual abuse often by an acquaintance of the same age and has been implicated in one third to two thirds of sexual assault and acquaintance or date rape cases among adolescents and college students

• College students who experienced being drunk for the first time before age 13 were twice as likely to have unplanned sex and 2.2 times as likely to have unprotected sex due to drinking

Resources for the Provider

THE MESSAGE PARENTS NEED TO DELIVER

“Until you turn twenty-one, our rule on alcohol is simple:

You are not to drink, if for no other reason than it is against the law. Once you’re of legal age, then it will be your decision whether or not to use alcohol. Illicit drugs, you are never to take; I don’t care how old you are.”

23

Role of the Pediatric Health Care Provider

SBIRT (Screening Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment)

• Providers should Screen to identify individuals with problems related to alcohol and our other substance use.

• Brief intervention focuses on increasing insight and awareness regarding substance use and motivation toward behavioral change.

• Referral to treatment provides those identified as needing more extensive treatment with access to specialty care.

CRAFFTQuestions to Identify Adolescents With Alcohol Abuse Problems*

C Have you ever ridden in a CAR driven by someone (including yourself) who was “high” or had been using alcohol or drugs?

R Do you ever use alcohol or drugs to RELAX, feel better about yourself, or fit in?

A Do you ever use alcohol or drugs while you are by yourself, or ALONE?F Do you ever FORGET things you did while using alcohol or drugs?F Do your family or FRIENDS ever tell you that you should cut down on your

drinking or drug use?T Have you ever gotten into TROUBLE while you were using alcohol or

drugs?* Two or more “yes” answers suggest that the adolescent has a serious

problem with alcohol abuse.

26


• Brief interventions (5-15 minutes) with follow-up provided to adult problem drinkers in primary care settings have been found to reduce alcohol consumption

• Such interventions have been recommended as part of standard care for underage drinkers 35
