A Preamble to Prevention of Adolescent Substance Use: Pediatric Resident Screening for Caregiver Substance Use
Most residents did not universally screen for household SU, thereby missing opportunities for targeted secondary prevention of adolescent SU. Trained residents who reported competence in addressing families' concerns were more likely to feel prepared to screen in the future, suggesting education that addresses caring for affected families, reviews available resources, and improves pediatrician confidence may be particularly impactful.
