    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Adolescent Health
    • Psychosocial Assessment

    Background:

    • The HEEADSSS (Head, Eyes, Education, Activities, Drugs, Adults, Dangers, Self-esteem) tool is crucial for adolescent psychosocial assessment.
    • Gaps in trainee knowledge and confidence can impact effective adolescent mental healthcare delivery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess trainee knowledge and confidence in using the HEEADSSS tool.
    • To identify training gaps related to adolescent mental health and psychosocial assessments.
    • To evaluate trainee attitudes towards adolescent mental health disorders.

    Main Methods:

    • An anonymous electronic survey was distributed to trainees in Paediatrics and Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland.
    • Qualtrics questionnaire tool was utilized for data collection.

    Main Results:

    • Out of 65 respondents, 77% knew about HEEADSSS, but only 57% felt confident using it.
    • 37% reported discomfort with adolescent behavioral/mental health issues, and 44% felt uncomfortable performing psychosocial assessments during distress.
    • 100% agreed on the importance of mental health knowledge in adolescent care.

    Conclusions:

    • A significant disparity exists between trainee awareness of HEEADSSS and its practical application.
    • Low confidence and discomfort highlight a need for improved training and support in adolescent mental health.
    • Enhanced training is essential to bridge the gap between HEEADSSS awareness and clinical implementation.
