Adolescent sexual and reproductive health in the ED

This episode features three members of the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) Adolescent Sexual Health Working Group. PECARN is a network that performs multicenter research related to the emergency care of children. The Adolescent Sexual Health Working Group is focused on researching topics of interest around sexual and reproductive health in the ED. I recently had the pleasure of interviewing three of the study authors and recorded our conversations, then created a podcast episode that hit on some of the highlights of their incredible work. James Gray also helped me put a blog post together that delves into some of the topics in a bit more in depth fashion.

This episode features the contributions of:

Melissa Miller, MD
Associate Professor of Pediatrics
Division of Emergency Medicine
Children’s Mercy Hospital Kansas City

Lauren Chernick, MD, MSc
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics in Emergency Medicine
Columbia University Medical Center

Erin Hoehn, MD
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics
Division of Emergency Medicine
Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh
