Adolescent behavioural risk screening in primary care: physician's point of view.

Background: Despite regular consultation between adolescents/young adults (AYA) and their physicians, they are not regularly screened for psychosocial risk behaviours. This study examines physicians' self-reported psychosocial risk behaviour screening in AYA. It aims to highlight which elements hinder or improve screening abilities.

Far from acceptable: youth-reported risk behaviour screening by primary care physicians.

Background: Adolescence and early adulthood are periods of experimentation during which health detrimental behaviours might be acquired.

Objective: This study's purpose is to evaluate physicians' likelihood of addressing health risk behaviours with youths depending on the youths' wishes, risk behaviours and personal characteristics.

Methods: Data were drawn from the third wave (2017-18) of the GenerationFRee longitudinal study carried out on a sample of 1970 youths aged 17-26 in Switzerland.
