Adolescents Sample Clauses

Adolescents. Sexual violence is a significant problem in the US affecting adolescents and adults. A national survey conducted in 2007 found that of those adolescents who experienced forced sex, 60.4% of females and 69.2% of males were 17 years old or younger at the time the first forced sex occurred. The National Crime Victims Survey and other national data sources indicate the following: • In a national survey of high school students, 8% reported being forced to have sex. Females were more likely to report having been forced to have sex than males. • Data from the National Survey of Children indicate that about 18% of women 17 and younger who had intercourse had been forced to do so at least once. • The Bureau of Justice Statistics reported that in the 12 states with sufficient information to distinguish juvenile from adult rape victims, the majority (51%) of female rape victims were under age 18, more than twice their representation in the nation's population. In the three states that kept data on relationships between victims and offenders in rape cases with victims ages 12-17, a full 20% of perpetrators were identified as family members, while 65% were acquaintances or "friends" of the child victim. • The Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Institute reports that over 40% of mothers aged 15-17 had sexual partners three to five years older; almost one in five had partners six or more years older. With teen mothers in the 15-17 age range, 49.2% of the fathers were between ages 20 and 29. There is a relationship between age of sexual initiation, number of partners, frequency of sexual activity, history of sexual abuse, and other risk factors particular to adolescents. In NYS, the 2009 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) found the percentage of teens that have experienced sexual intercourse increases with age, from 28.0% of ninth graders to 62.6% of 12th graders. These numbers are comparable to the national average of 30.2% of ninth graders and 56.4% of 12th graders (2005 YRBS). Of New York students responding, 42% report ever having had sexual intercourse with 6.2% reporting having had sexual intercourse for the first time before the age of 13. 31.5% of high school students describe themselves as currently sexually active. Among students reporting that they are currently sexually active, 67.7% report using a condom at last sexual intercourse. In NYS, 9.6% of high school females and 11.2% of high school males reported experiencing dating violence1 with 8.3% of high school females and 6.9% o...

  • Health Screening The Contractor shall conduct a Health Needs Screen (HNS) for new members that enroll in the Contractor’s plan. The HNS will be used to identify the member’s physical and/or behavioral health care needs, special health care needs, as well as the need for disease management, care management and/or case management services set forth in Section 3.8. The HNS may be conducted in person, by phone, online or by mail. The Contractor shall use the standard health screening tool developed by OMPP, i.e., the Health Needs Screening Tool, but is permitted to supplement the OMPP Health Needs Screening Tool with additional questions developed by the Contractor. Any additions to the OMPP Health Needs Screening Tool shall be approved by OMPP. The HNS shall be conducted within ninety (90) calendar days of the Contractor’s receipt of a new member’s fully eligible file from the State. The Contractor is encouraged to conduct the HNS at the same time it assists the member in making a PMP selection. The Contractor shall also be required to conduct a subsequent health screening or comprehensive health assessment if a member’s health care status is determined to have changed since the original screening, such as evidence of overutilization of health care services as identified through such methods as claims review. Non-clinical staff may conduct the HNS. The results of the HNS shall be transferred to OMPP in the form and manner set forth by OMPP. As part of this contract, the Contractor shall not be required to conduct HNS for members enrolled in the Contractor’s plan prior to January 1, 2017 unless a change in the member’s health care status indicates the need to conduct a health screening. For purposes of the HNS requirement, new members are defined as members that have not been enrolled in the Contractor’s plan in the previous twelve (12) months. Data from the HNS or NOP form, current medications and self-reported medical conditions will be used to develop stratification levels for members in Hoosier Healthwise. The Contractor may use its own proprietary stratification methodology to determine which members should be referred to specific care coordination services ranging from disease management to complex case management. OMPP shall apply its own stratification methodology which may, in future years, be used to link stratification level to the per member per month capitation rate. The initial HNS shall be followed by a detailed Comprehensive Health Assessment Tool (CHAT) by a health care professional when a member is identified through the HNS as having a special health care need, as set forth in Section 4.2.4, or when there is a need to follow up on problem areas found in the initial HNS. The detailed CHAT may include, but is not limited to, discussion with the member, a review of the member’s claims history and/or contact with the member’s family or health care providers. These interactions shall be documented and shall be available for review by OMPP. The Contractor shall keep up-to-date records of all members found to have special health care needs based on the initial screening, including documentation of the follow-up detailed CHAT and contacts with the member, their family or health care providers.
