Summary

Health risk screening in adolescent primary care is infrequently performed and results are rarely followed by targeted intervention. In response to the need for screening-linked interventions, the study team has developed and optimized a web-based, electronic Personalized Motivational Feedback tool referred to as "Check Yourself v2.0" Based on motivational interviewing, a technique to mobilize personal change, Check Yourself is designed to promote healthy choices for the multiple behaviors relevant to adolescents.

Detailed description

The proposed study is a randomized controlled trial that compares the effectiveness of Check Yourself v2.0 to usual care. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of Check Yourself on reducing health risk behaviors and improving quality of care among adolescents receiving primary health care services relative to usual care.
