A chart review of substance use screening and related documentation among adolescents in outpatient pediatric clinics: implications for practice.
This study looked at rates of substance use screening and related documentation among adolescents aged 12-17 in outpatient pediatric clinics in a large academic medical center. The authors abstracted a random sample of 127 records and coded clinical notes to describe screening cases and related characteristics. They then analyzed descriptive patterns within the data to calculate screening rates, characteristics of screening, and identify related factors. Rates of screening by providers was 72% for each common substance and a total of 6% of patients reported substance use during screening.
