“…In many cases, these issues will not be voluntarily disclosed by the young person. The use of a standardised HEADSS questionnaire to identify health‐risk behaviours offers the potential to intervene and prevent adverse outcomes such as sexually transmitted infections, unwanted pregnancy, substance use and risk of sexual assault …”

“…49 Electronic behavioral screening tools are readily available and can be another valuable way to identify sexual and reproductive health risks; one such psychosocial assessment for youths is the HEADSS (home, education, activities, drug and alcohol use, sexuality, and suicide) tool. 50 Incorporating behavioral screening, electronic or otherwise, at each visit will facilitate the nurse’s ability to follow STI screening and treatment guidelines, counsel adolescents accurately on the importance of dual-method contraception (using both a condom and a hormonal contraceptive, such as birth control pills), and navigate provider referrals for sexual and reproductive health services that are unavailable in their own practice settings.…”

Nurses care for adolescents in a variety of settings, including communities, schools, and public health and acute care clinics, which affords them many opportunities to improve adolescents’ sexual and reproductive health and reduce the rates of unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. To ensure that adolescents have access to sexual and reproductive health care (which includes both preventive counseling and treatment) in all nursing practice sites, nurses need to gain the knowledge and hone the skills required to deliver evidence-based counseling and services to adolescents and parents. Collectively, nurses can use their unique combination of knowledge and skills to make a positive impact on adolescent sexual and reproductive outcomes. Nurses have the capacity and opportunity to disseminate information about sexual and reproductive health to adolescents and their parents in communities, schools, public health clinics, and acute care settings. This article discusses the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine’s goals and recommendations, which address adolescent sexual and reproductive health as both a health care and a human rights issue.

Background Homeless populations (HPs) have difficulties obtaining necessary medical care, and primary health care service outreach (PHSO) might be useful to bridge this gap. Objective Using the Centre for Evidence-Based Management Critically Appraised Topics framework, to provide systematic evidence of the usefulness of PHSO interventions for HPs. Methods A systematic search was conducted in 4 electronic databases: PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Cochrane (publication dates between January 1980 and November 2020). In total, 2,872 articles were identified. Primary research about PHSO for HPs in high-income countries were included. Data were extracted from eligible studies, summarized, and collated into a narrative account. Results Twenty-four studies that described and evaluated PHSO interventions for adults experiencing homelessness were selected in the final synthesis. Most studies had a nonrandomized design. PHSO was found to successfully address some barriers to health care access for HPs through flexible appointments in convenient locations, fostering an understanding relationship between doctor and patients, and provision of additional basic necessities and referrals. Outreach was provided for a range of health care concerns, and several solutions to engage more HPs in primary care, improve continuity of care and to decrease the running costs were identified. Outreach also helped to implement preventative measures and reduced emergency service admissions. Conclusion Our review adds to the evidence that PHSO likely improves health care access for HPs. Further studies over longer time periods, involving collaborations with experts with lived experience of homelessness, and utilizing randomized study designs are needed to test outreach efficacy.
