This study tested a new digital tool that helps doctors screen and treat teens for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Researchers wanted to see if the tool was easy to use and acceptable to doctors, teens, and parents. About 190 participants took part, including doctors, teens aged 13 and older, and their parents. The tool was used during regular check-ups to guide sexual health discussions and testing.
