Primary care for adult survivors of childhood cancer: medical needs and required strategies.
Authors: Hutchinson RJ Abstract Provision of targeted care to the adult survivors of childhood cancer is a current need, likely to only increase in the future. The definition of the long-term effects of cancer, the magnitude of the treatment delivered, and the care required as a consequence fall within the domain of pediatric oncologists. The actual delivery of care including targeted follow-up and interventions, require the combined dedication and talents of pediatric oncologists working with adolescent medicine, internal medicine, medical-pediatrics, and family practice physicians to contribute by making...

Adolescent substance use: the role of the medical home.
Authors: Levy S, Williams JF Abstract Given the continued high rates of substance use by adolescents and young adults, it should be among the topics addressed at every health care visit in the medical home. Primary care physicians should counsel and refer parents for substance use assessment, counseling, and cessation management when pediatric or adolescent patients are environmentally exposed to substances and substance use. The role of the medical home includes providing parents, children, and adolescents with anticipatory guidance, drug use screening, health advice, brief intervention, and referral for ...

Marijuana.
Authors: Ammerman S Abstract Marijuana use in pediatric populations remains an ongoing concern, and marijuana use by adolescents had known medical, psychological, and cognitive side effects. Marijuana alters brain development and has detrimental effects on brain structure and function in ways that are incompletely understood at this point in time. Furthermore, marijuana smoke contains tar and other harmful chemicals, so marijuana cannot be recommended by physicians. At this time, no studies suggest a benefit of marijuana use by children and adolescents. In the context of limited but clear evidence showing ...

Screening and brief intervention for alcohol and other abuse.
Authors: Harris SK, Louis-Jacques J, Knight JR Abstract Substance use is the most common health risk behavior among adolescents and is one of the greatest threats to their current and future health. Universal screening of adolescents in general medical settings can be instrumental in identifying substance use early, before further problems develop and when BIs are more likely to be effective. Screening in and of itself may have some therapeutic effect. Brief screening tools feasible for use by busy medical offices to quickly and reliably assess adolescent risk for a substance use disorder now are available...
