Overview Adolescence is a time of significant development, both physically and emotionally. Research suggests a link between mental health challenges and increased risk for engaging in sexual behaviors that can lead to negative consequences. This presentation will explore how healthcare providers can approach adolescents who are sexually active and experiencing mental health concerns. We will use four case studies to illustrate best practices in screening, testing, and treatment for this population. The cases will represent diverse identities, including a heterosexual female, a heterosexual male, a homosexual male with a specific sexual interest (hematolagnia), and a non-binary individual assigned female at birth whose partners are female.
Objectives
Describe the association between mental illness and high-risk sexual behaviors in adolescents.
Review best practices for healthcare providers taking a sexual history when working with sexually active adolescents who also have mental health concerns.
Identify how to use resources from the CDC to determine how to screen and treat adolescents with high-risk sexual behaviors.
Analyze case studies to illustrate how screening, testing, and treatment can be adapted for adolescents with diverse sexual identities and experiences.
