Sexual issues ignored at adolescents’ annual checkup

This study may have been somewhat limited in that the patients tended to be overweight, given the nature of the Teen CHAT trial from which this study sample was drawn. However, there is no reason why physicians would speak differently to adolescents about sexual issues according to their weight, the researchers added.

This study was supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. No relevant financial conflicts of interest were reported.
