## Abstract

Abstract
The proposed Phase I STTR project will develop the Cards on the Table Toolkit. The Toolkit will build on the
existing prototype of Cards on the Table, a deck of cards containing questions related to seven essential topics
of adolescent sexual and reproductive health counseling, including: STIs; contraception; healthy relationships;
adolescent patients’ rights including confidentiality and consent; sexual health; social factors affecting adolescent
health and their healthcare; and gender identity and sexual orientation. Developed using a human-centered
design approach with adolescents and providers, the cards were designed to radically restructure the traditional
clinical-driven counseling by allowing adolescents to select two to three cards from the deck to guide patient-
provider communication during the visit. The current project will build on the existing cards to develop a digital
version of the cards, as well as a wrap-around toolkit including educational information for adolescents and
implementation guides for clinicians to incorporate the cards into their clinical practice. The Cards on the Table
Toolkit will be implemented at the University of Chicago Medical Center among clinicians who see adolescent
patients for primary care or for sexual and reproductive healthcare visits. Ten clinicians and 40 adolescents will
be recruited to the study to evaluate the usability, feasibility and acceptability of the toolkit. The impact of the
toolkit on knowledge, attitudes and patient-centered counseling experiences among adolescents will also be
assessed. The Phase I project will culminate in a Cards on the Table Toolkit which will be prepared for Phase II
full development, including the development of additional formats and refinement of implementation materials.
