AI Article Synopsis
- The report highlights a community health system's implementation of universal screening and treatment pathways for youth vaping over a 4-year period.
- Data included screening rates, positive tests, referrals, and quit rates among teens based on their demographics.
- Results showed that 73% of teens were screened, 5.2% tested positive, and among those referred, about 31% achieved vaping abstinence, suggesting this model could effectively help other health systems combat teen vaping.
Article Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this report was to summarize implementation of universal screening and treatment pathways for youth vaping in a large, community-based health care system in the United States.
Methods: Data were obtained as a part of routine clinical care and were extracted from medical records weekly for 4 years. Variables reported include number of teens screened, teens who tested positive, referrals, and quit rates, as well as gender and race or ethnicity.
Results: Of the 16,671 visits, 12,165 (73%) teens were screened, 632 (5.2%) teens screened positive, and of those who screened positive, 128 (20%) referrals were placed. For those who were referred, 40 teens (31.3%) quit vaping (abstinence for at least 3 weeks) and 21 (16%) decided to receive nicotine replacement therapy (nicotine patches, gum, or lozenges).
Conclusions: This study outlines a screening and intervening pathway that can be used in other health care systems in the United States and beyond. Teen vaping can be addressed before it becomes a serious addiction. Institutions can experience cost-saving benefits in that increasing outreach efforts and education would ultimately reduce the number of inpatient/emergency department visits/hospitalizations related to vaping.

H is for hypersexual: Sexuality in youths with ADHD.
Front Child Adolesc Psychiatry
November 2022
School of Medicine, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Aurora, CO, United States.
Background: Recent research into the association between ADHD and hypersexuality has been extremely skewed toward male patients and contribute to stigma against individuals engaging in same sex sexual behaviors. We sought to expand research on this important relationship and to address these shortcomings.
Methods: Using data from the TriNetX database, we created two patient cohorts of patients 21 years or younger, separated by presence or absence of ADHD diagnosis.
