Abstract

Adolescent/Young Adult (AYA) primary care visits are an opportune time to address physical, psychological, and social influences on developing health behaviors. However, many AYAs do not receive primary care despite available guidelines for screening, immunizations, and annual physical exams. Frequent interactions with the healthcare system by AYA women for family planning and other reproductive health services may be used to improve engagement in care and promote wellness; however, less cumbersome methods may require less interaction with the healthcare system. The purpose of this research is to examine differences in clinic engagement, receipt of primary care, STI/HIV screening, and immunizations by contraceptive use.
