## Abstract

Abstract
The University of Minnesota Healthy Youth Development Prevention Research Center (UMN PRC) aims to
develop and disseminate actionable knowledge and practices that promote health, healthy development &
health equity among all young people, through collaboration with public health agencies, health care systems,
K-12 schools, and related organizations. UMN PRC's aims, goals, and objectives are aligned with the nation's
health goals pertaining to adolescents. UMN PRC is part of the University of Minnesota's Academic Health
Center, joining an interdisciplinary faculty and staff from the Schools of Medicine, Nursing and Public Health.
We collaborate with local, state and national organizations to improve the health and well-being of young
people through research, research dissemination and translation, evidence-based advocacy, training, technical
assistance, strategic communications, and evaluation. Our activities are informed by a Community Advisory
Network that guides the UMN PRC's priorities and utilization of resources to assure responsiveness to
community-driven needs and concerns related to young people. UMN PRC's research and research translation
agenda is guided by a healthy youth development paradigm that views young people as resources and full of
potential that can be nurtured through intentional strategies and opportunities to build health, competence, and
capacity throughout the second decade of life and beyond.
The goal of the UMN PRC Core Research Study is to develop and pilot test a clinic-level intervention to
increase the quality of preventive services, including the provision of time alone, for rural youth aged 11-17
while engaging parents in appropriate ways. This project is among the first intervention studies of adolescent
preventive health services to include a focus on parent engagement and to be designed to be replicable by
rural clinics in other areas and disseminated through state, regional, and national partners. This study will be
completed in partnership with primary care clinics in rural Minnesota. During the study's initial phase,
intervention messages and strategies will be finalized through formative research with primary care providers,
adolescents, and parents; and through guidance from participating clinic systems and rural primary care
practice advisors. During the study's final phase, the intervention will be implemented & rigorously evaluated.
We will measure intervention effects on provider and clinic staff attitudes & practices; adolescent & parent
experiences with the care that adolescents receive; and clinic-level provision of adolescent preventive
services. Guided by the Knowledge to Action framework, we will disseminate and translate study findings for
community, practice, and academic audiences. Conducted with partners in rural Minnesota communities, this
study will contribute to young people's health, healthy development, and health equity, addressing multiple
national health objectives and strat...
