Disparities in Pediatric Emergency Department Revisits Within 7 Days by Disease Process.

Objective: To identify disease processes in which patients experienced the greatest rates of emergency department (ED) revisit disparities by race, ethnicity, language, insurance, and Childhood Opportunity Index.

Methods: We performed a retrospective, cross-sectional study of ED visits at a comprehensive pediatric health system encompassing three EDs. We included all pediatric (0 to 18 y) ED encounters that led to a discharge home (2018 to 2022).

Trends in Emergency Contraceptive Use Among Adolescents and Young Adults, 2006-2017.

Purpose: In 2013, age restrictions for adolescents on over-the-counter access were removed for "Plan B One-Step", a single oral medication option for emergency contraception use. Restrictions on generic options of the emergency contraceptive pill (ECP) were removed in 2014.

Methods: National Survey of Family Growth data were used to assess the prevalence of ever use of ECPs among sexually experienced female adolescents and young adults (AYA) aged 15-24 years (2015-2017 sample), and trends in indicators of ECP use and acquisition (2006-2017 samples).
