Improving Identification of At‐Risk Behaviors in Adolescents With Rheumatic Disease
Overall, 12% of patients reported being sexually active, underscoring the need to screen adolescents for sexual activity given many rheumatology patients take teratogenic medication. A smaller proportion used substances. Implementing an electronic medical record-based SHQ can help identify patients most at risk, and the BPA serves as a useful tool to remind clinicians to discuss the SHQ privately.
