Abstract

Context: Sexual health discussions between healthcare providers and adolescent and young adult patients are an important strategy for addressing and improving sexual health. However, healthcare providers often do not engage in comprehensive sexual health discussions with young patients during routine clinical visits.

Methods: We propose the use of a conceptual model, the Unified Theory of Behavior (UTB), as a tool that can aid healthcare providers in facilitating more comprehensive sexual health conversations with young patients.

Results: We present clinical scenarios on how healthcare providers can use the UTB with existing sexual health assessments during routine, clinical visits with their patients.

Conclusions: Using the UTB may be one effective tool to aid healthcare providers in initiating sexual health discussions and facilitating more comprehensive sexual health conversations with adolescent and young adult patients during routine clinical visits and sexual and reproductive health-focused visits.

应用统一行为理论加强美国医疗服务提供者与年轻患者之间的性健康讨论。

背景：医疗服务提供者与青少年和年轻成人患者之间的性健康讨论是解决和改善性健康的重要策略。然而，医疗服务提供者通常不会在常规临床就诊时与年轻患者进行全面的性健康讨论：方法：我们建议使用一个概念模型--统一行为理论（UTB）--作为一种工具，帮助医疗服务提供者与年轻患者进行更全面的性健康对话：结果：我们提出了一些临床方案，说明医疗服务提供者在对患者进行常规临床访问时，如何将统一行为理论与现有的性健康评估结合起来使用：使用UTB 可能是一种有效的工具，可帮助医疗服务提供者在常规临床就诊和以性健康和生殖健康为重点的就诊过程中与青少年和年轻成人患者展开性健康讨论，并促进更全面的性健康对话。
