(Here’s a WONDERFUL QI Project for this New Residency Academic Year) With 70.8% of pregnancies among adolescents being unintended, there is a clear need for increased access to contraceptive services. Many adolescents use the emergency department (ED) as their primary healthcare source, highlighting the importance of providing comprehensive sexual health services in this setting. The risk of pregnancy is high among adolescents seeking ED care, indicating an opportunity to expand pregnancy prevention services in this setting. ED clinicians are in a unique position to address pregnancy prevention among adolescents. Novel ED staff training tools kits do exist for brief contraceptive counseling interventions during the ED visit for interested adolescents who present for any chief complaint. Talking to teens about contraceptives in the ED is feasible, acceptable, and allows ED staff to reach youth that may not have access or choose not to access medical care in any other setting. In this episode, we will summarize striking data from a recent publication (June 28, 2024), in JAMA Network Open, which revealed gaps in addressing contraceptive needs among vulnerable adolescent females and gaps in provisions of EC when needed. Additionally, we will propose an easy to adopt strategy to better equip Emergency Department staff for having these conversations.
