Help Provider Practice Approach to Adolescent Sexual Health Assessment by Participating in a Short Survey

Dear Colleague,

Little information is currently available on how nurse practitioners and physician assistants are approaching adolescent sexual health assessments. As more NPs and PAs fill the physician shortage in primary care, assessment of current trends in approaching adolescent sexual health will provide valuable information to describe this important area of adolescent health care.

You are invited to complete a 30-question research survey titled, "Provider Practice Approach to Adolescent Sexual Health Assessments." This survey should take approximately 20 minutes of your time. Your answers will be completely anonymous and consent is implied by your participation.

You may access the anonymous survey at:

www.surveymonkey.com/s/6SZFY52

This research is part of my Capstone project in the Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) program at Old Dominion University. Your input is important in providing information on how nurse practitioners and physician assistants approach adolescent sexual health assessments in outpatient clinics and to identify any barriers in meeting Healthy People 2020 goals specific to adolescent preventative health.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your participation!

Sincerely,

Jaime Callaghan, FNP-BC

DNP Student, Old Dominion University
