- W2346598512 abstract "Male health has become an emerging area of interest in an effort to improve the health status and quality of health care for men. Adolescent male health is particularly relevant, since many antecedents of adult illness originate in adolescence, such as alcohol and tobacco use. Many policies and programs have chiefly addressed young women’s reproductive health needs and largelyoverlooked male health needs. Currently, it is recognized that adolescent male health is a vital element for all adolescent care. Data looking at health care utilization by adolescent males have found that, overall, the percentage of total healthcare visits by males were significantly less than that of females. In addition, there are age differences in the use of health care services. Older adolescent (16‐20 years) males, as compared to young adolescent males, (11‐15 years)show decreasingtrendsin hospital-basedoutpatient visits and increasing trends in emergency department visits. Adolescent female use of health care services is promoted by reproductive issues such as menarche, contraceptive needs, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and pregnancy management. These health services are not readily available to adolescent and young adult males. There are fewer opportunities for preventive health messages for male adolescents. Boys often hold a more traditional ‘‘masculine’’ attitude that put them at increased risk for engaging in high risk behaviors such as having unprotected sex and illicit substance use. Nevertheless, male adolescents are often concerned about the same health issues as their female counterparts and are more likely to engage in health-compromising behaviors (i.e., substance abuse) and suffer serious health consequences (i.e., suicide completion). The clinician has to connect with them in a safe and unthreatening manner that will promote open and honest conversations about their fears and doubts. As a clinician, it is important to realize that most male patients may not be upfront with any concerns they may have about their health. Boys will often have questions/ concerns about growth/development and, therefore, it is an essential topic to raise. The health provider can introduce this topic by asking if he has any concerns regarding his athletic performance, strength, or endurance. These questions could lead the discussion of any feelings he may have about his changing body. Examples of such questions include, ‘‘Do you have any questions or worries about your height or physical appearance?’’ or ‘‘Are there any concerns about the development of your genitalia?’’ In addition, it is important to know that some male patients prefer a female provider to do the genital exam. Chaperones of the opposite sex of the health care professional should be utilized if the provider or the patient feels uncomfortable. Another important point is to normalize the genital exam and be comfortable performing this exam. One suggestion is to inform the young man before he changes for his physical exam that you will perform a head to toe examination that includes screening for genital abnormalities such as hernias and cancer. In addition, the provider should explain these conditions and why they are important to discover." @default.
