title: Increasing clinician self-efficacy for screening and counseling adolescents for risky health behaviors: results of an intervention.
abstract: This study evaluates a training and tools intervention to increase provider self-efficacy to screen and counsel adolescents for risky behavior. Two clinics within a health maintenance organization served as intervention sites, and two as comparison sites. Self-efficacy to deliver adolescent services increased significantly in the intervention group relative to the comparison group.
