Health risk screening in adolescent primary care is infrequently performed and results are rarely followed by targeted intervention. In response to the need for screening-linked interventions, the study team has developed and optimized a web-based, electronic Personalized Motivational Feedback tool referred to as "Check Yourself v2.0" Based on motivational interviewing, a technique to mobilize personal change, Check Yourself is designed to promote healthy choices for the multiple behaviors relevant to adolescents.

Adolescents will be excluded from the study
In the intervention group, adolescents complete Check Yourself which delivers personalized, motivational feedback on their health behaviors prior to their primary care appointment. Key components of Check Yourself include the provision of age normative feedback, goal setting strategies, and strategies to increase motivation for healthy behaviors. Primary care providers will receive a summary report of health risk behaviors prior to their adolescent patient's primary care appointment.
