INTRODUCTION: Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, routine sexually transmitted infection (STI) screenings decreased, and test positivity rates increased due to limited screening appointments, national-level STI testing supply shortages, and social distancing mandates. It is unclear if adolescent preventive STI screening has returned to pre-pandemic levels and if pre-existing disparities worsened in late-pandemic. METHODS: This cross-sectional study examined 22,974 primary care visits by 13-19-year-olds in the Philadelphia metropolitan area undergoing screening for gonorrhea and chlamydia in a 31-clinic pediatric primary care network during 2018-2022...

INTRODUCTION: Co-administering COVID-19 and influenza vaccines is recommended by public health authorities and intended to improve uptake and convenience; however, the extent of vaccine co-administration is largely unknown. Investigations into COVID-19 and influenza vaccine co-administration are needed to describe compliance with newer recommendations and to identify potential gaps in the implementation of co-administration. METHODS: A descriptive, repeated cross-sectional study between September 1, 2021 to November 30, 2021 (Period 1) and September 1, 2022 to November 30, 2022 (Period 2) was conducted...

INTRODUCTION: Missed appointments also known as "no-shows" adversely affect clinical outcomes, clinic efficiency, and quality of care and have been attributed to barriers such as work schedule conflicts and lack of transportation. The widespread telemedicine implementation and adoption that has occurred as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to address these barriers and improve missed appointment rates. This study aims to analyze the relationship between telemedicine and missed appointments...
