Many studies show early detection of sexual activity in adolescents can improve their health management and that primary care pediatricians would benefit from supports to address adolescent health, including sexual and reproductive health. The primary objective of this study is to develop and evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of a sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing clinical decision support (CDS) tool within the electronic health record (EHR) among clinicians, adolescent patients, and their parents. Secondary objectives include assessment of the CDS tool's impact on clinical measures. The STI Testing CDS tool will be embedded within clinical practice and evaluated through a single-armed prospective cohort study of primary care clinicians, adolescent patients, and parents. The STI Testing CDS tool that will support pediatric clinicians by providing evidence-based sexual health-related screening, treatment, and referrals, as needed.
