  • Comparative study of sexuality‐related characteristics in Young Adults with schizophrenia treated with novel neuroleptics and in normal Young Adults
    Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, 2002
    Co-Authors: P. Fortier, J-p. Mottard, G. Trudel, S. Even-gaudin
    Abstract:

    This study compared characteristics related to sexual history, sexual activities, sexual functioning and psychological tendencies associated with sexuality in 45 Young Adults with schizophrenia treated with novel neuroleptics and 61 control Young Adults. A smaller proportion of Young Adults with schizophrenia currently had a sexual partner or had ever engaged in sexual relations. They also had sexual relations and sexual desires less often. Whether affected by schizophrenia or not, a smaller proportion of women had ever masturbated. They felt less sexual desire and desired sexual relations less often. Compared to controls, a higher proportion of men with schizophrenia treated with Risperidone or Olanzapine had at least one sexual dysfunction, lacked sexual desire and reported problems with sexual arousal and ejaculation. Women with schizophrenia were more likely to report problems with sexual arousal and galactorrhea. Finally, Young Adults with schizophrenia develop more negative psychological tendencies associated with sexuality than were normal Young Adults. Sexual problems are highly prevalent among Young Adults with schizophrenia. Sexuality should occupy the space it deserves within psychosocial rehabilitation programs and the treatment of schizophrenia.

  • Study of Sexuality-Related Characteristics in Young Adults With Schizophrenia Treated With Novel Neuroleptics and in a Comparison Group of Young Adults
    Schizophrenia bulletin, 2003
    Co-Authors: Pierre A. Fortier, J-p. Mottard, G. Trudel, Sandrine Even
    Abstract:

    This study compared characteristics related to sexual history, sexual activities, sexual functioning, and psychological tendencies associated with sexuality in 45 Young Adults with schizophrenia treated with novel neuroleptics and in 61 Young Adults from a comparison group. A smaller proportion of Young Adults with schizophrenia currently had a sexual partner or had ever engaged in sexual relations. They also had sexual relations and sexual desires less often. Whether affected by schizophrenia or not, a smaller proportion of women had ever masturbated, and a smaller proportion of men currently had a sexual partner. Women masturbated less often, felt less sexual desire, and desired sexual relations less often, compared with men. Proportionally more men with schizophrenia treated with risperidone or olanzapine than men in the comparison group had at least one sexual dysfunction, lacked sexual desire, and reported problems with sexual arousal and ejaculation. Women with schizophrenia were more likely to report problems with sexual arousal and galactorrhea, compared with women in the comparison group. Finally, Young Adults with schizophrenia were more likely to develop negative psychological tendencies associated with sexuality than were Young Adults in the comparison group. Sexual problems are highly prevalent among Young Adults with schizophrenia. Sexuality should occupy the space it deserves within psychosocial rehabilitation programs and the treatment of schizophrenia.

  • prescribing of controlled medications to adolescents and Young Adults in the united states
    Pediatrics, 2010
    Co-Authors: Robert J Fortuna, Brett W Robbins, Enrico Caiola, Michael R Joynt, Jill S Halterman
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE: The nonmedical use of prescription drugs by adolescents and Young Adults has surpassed all illicit drugs except marijuana, yet little is known about prescribing patterns. We examined the prescribing of controlled medications to adolescents aged 15 to 19 and Young Adults aged 20 to 29. METHODS: We used cross-sectional data from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey ( N = 4304 physicians) and the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey ( N = 2805 clinics; N = 1051 emergency departments) between 2005 and 2007. We also used consecutive data from 1994 to describe trends. RESULTS: A controlled medication was prescribed at 2.3 million visits by adolescents and 7.8 million visits by Young Adults in 2007. Between 1994 and 2007, controlled medications were prescribed at an increasing proportion of visits from adolescents (6.4%–11.2%) and Young Adults (8.3%–16.1%) ( P P CONCLUSIONS: Controlled medications are prescribed at a considerable proportion of visits from adolescents and Young Adults, and prescribing rates have nearly doubled since 1994. This trend and its relationship to misuse of medications warrants further study.

  • ambulatory care among Young Adults in the united states
    Annals of Internal Medicine, 2009
    Co-Authors: Robert J Fortuna, Brett W Robbins, Jill S Halterman
    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND: Young Adults are the most likely age group to be uninsured and have the highest prevalence of substance abuse, motor vehicle accidents, and sexually transmitted diseases, yet little is known about their use of ambulatory care. OBJECTIVE: To characterize ambulatory care of Young Adults. DESIGN: Cross-sectional data from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey and National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey. SETTING: Community and hospital-based clinics. PATIENTS: Nonpregnant Young Adults age 20 to 29 years. MEASUREMENTS: Ambulatory care utilization, types of visits, and preventive care. RESULTS: Insured Young Adults had more visits (2.16 [95% CI, 2.14 to 2.19] annual visits per capita) than those without insurance (0.59 [CI, 0.54 to 0.67] annual visits per capita). Young men utilized ambulatory medical care less than adolescents age 15 to 19 years or older Adults age 30 to 39 years (1.10, 1.65, and 1.73 annual visits per capita, respectively) and had lower rates of utilization than Young women (1.10 vs. 2.31 annual visits per capita). Young black and Hispanic men had considerably fewer annual visits per capita (0.75 and 0.65, respectively) than did Young white men (1.21). Young men had nearly one half the preventive care visits compared with male adolescents or older men (0.11, 0.24, and 0.19 annual visits per capita, respectively) and less than one quarter the visits compared with Young women (0.11 vs. 0.48 annual visits per capita). Only 30.6% of visits by Young Adults included any preventive counseling, and few encounters included counseling directed toward injury prevention (2.4%), mental health (4.1%), or sexually transmitted diseases (2.7%). LIMITATION: School-based clinics were not included, and counseling may be underreported. CONCLUSION: Young Adults use less ambulatory medical care relative to other groups and infrequently receive preventive care directed at the greatest threats to their health. Efforts to ensure appropriate preventive care are needed. PRIMARY FUNDING SOURCE: None. Language: en
