The adolescent population in the Delaware Valley area has some of the highest rates
of sexual activity, sexually transmitted infections, and pregnancy amongst adolescents
in the United States. In the state of Delaware there is a shortage of adolescent medicine
specialists and pediatric and adolescent gynecologists to provide care for this high
risk population. In this study we wanted to evaluate baseline knowledge about adolescent
reproductive health among health care providers in the Delaware Valley and assess
the effectiveness of conference education in improving clinical care of the adolescent
population. The objective of this study was to assess the change in clinical practice
in issues surrounding adolescent patients using pre and post conference surveys in
a multidisciplinary group of health care providers after attending a conference on
adolescent reproductive health.
