Summary

This is a single-site, randomized, controlled trial. Investigators will evaluate feasibility of the Emergency Department Healthcare Education Assessment and Response for Teen Relationships (ED-HEART) intervention among adolescents age 14-19 years receiving care in the Children's Mercy emergency department.

Detailed description

This study is a mixed methods feasibility evaluation that will use a randomized controlled trial to assess feasibility of Emergency Department Healthcare Education Assessment and Response for Teen Relationships (ED-HEART) (intervention arm: ED-HEART + teen resource list; control arm: enhanced standard care \[standard care + teen resource list\]). Adolescents age 14-19 years will be recruited and enrolled during an emergency department visit. Investigators will evaluate feasibility using the eight Bowen model feasibility constructs: acceptability, demand, implementation, practicality, adaptation, integration, expansion, and limited-efficacy testing. Investigators will also examine theory of planned behavior constructs (attitudes, beliefs, perceived behavioral control, intention) to facilitate exploratory analysis of factors that may contribute to differential outcomes.
