Primary questions from the interview guide

Topic Assessment	Question
Attitude	Is access to sexual health care an important issue for adolescents?
	What is the role of health care providers in the ED in improving adolescent sexual health?
	What is the role of health care providers in the ED in identifying STIs and pregnancy among adolescents?
	What role, if any, do health care providers have in preventing STIs and unintended pregnancy among adolescents?
Subjective norms	Are there any professional organizations that influence your practice?
	Who are the people that influence how you take care of patients?
Perceived behavior control	What are the barriers to screening asymptomatic adolescents for STIs and pregnancy in the ED?
	Can you think of any ways to overcome these barriers?
	If a teen-aged girl were in the ED because she hurt her leg, how would you feel if someone came to talk to her about her sexual health?
Intention to facilitate care	How would you feel about another provider (such as a health educator) providing this type of sexual health care in the ED?
	Would you be comfortable addressing certain health concerns that might come up but go beyond the expertise of the health educator, such as disclosure of sexual abuse?
	We are considering the development of a new position, like a health educator, to provide expanded sexual health care for teens. Health educators will obtain urine for testing for STIs and pregnancy, and will provide brief education as well as a link to comprehensive care. First, tell me what you think of that?
Intervention Specific	If the health educator finds a positive pregnancy test for a teen in the ED, what kind of process can you see for handling the results?
	Is there a situation in which this intervention couldn’t be done? What would that be?
