Sarah Verbiest, Erin K. McClain
Identify mental health hotline numbers and resources in your country to share with patients. For example, in the United States, the JED Foundation hosts many resources for young adults (https://jedfoundation.org/mental-health-resource-center/) and the Mental Health First Aid program offers resources and training (https://www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org). Many are free, anonymous and provide 24/7 access via text, chat, email, telehealth, and more.

Subdural haematomas can be acute (<3 days), subacute (3–21 days) or chronic (>21 days). They usually have different aetiologies depending on age: in children always suspect non-accidental injury, in young adults they are usually due to trauma (e.g. road traffic accident) and in older persons usually because of falls (older individuals are more susceptible since they have increased brain atrophy).2
Contraception
Published in S Paige Hertweck, Maggie L Dwiggins, Clinical Protocols in Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology, 2022
STI screening should be performed in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations. For adolescents and young adults between the ages of 15 through 24, this includes screening for Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis annually, and HIV at least once
The Criteria to Identify Pornography That Can Support Healthy Sexual Development for Young Adults: Results of an International Delphi Panel
Published in International Journal of Sexual Health, 2023

This project aims to identify pornography that can support healthy sexual development, and thus the development of reproductive autonomy and sexual agency, for young adults; and the criteria that should be used to classify material in this way. The rationale behind the project is to allow young adults and adult stakeholders to understand the range of options of pornographic genres that are available, and to make healthy decisions in that context. For the project ‘young adults’ are defined as being 18–25 years old. There exists no universally-agreed definition of the ages of ‘youth’ or ‘young people’ (United Nations, Undated, p. 2); a range of 18–25 was suitable for this project, and has been used by previous researchers on young people (see for example Poobalan et al., 2012). We have emphasized in the title of this article that this age group are “young adults” to prevent confusion. We acknowledge that research shows that young people often start having interpersonal sexual encounters, as well as encounters with pornography, under the age of 18 (Fisher et al., 2019) and that therefore an argument could be made that this project should include younger people. However, in Australia it is illegal for people under the age of 18 to view pornographic material and for this reason it would be inappropriate to include under-18s in the age-range for the project.
Socio-economic context of alcohol consumption and the associated risky behavior among male teenagers and young adults in India
Published in Journal of Substance Use, 2023
It is found that only 2.5% male teenagers (15–19) were sexually active in the last 4 weeks prior to the survey. In contrast, this percentage is higher among the male young adults (20–24) and around 22% of them were sexually active in the last 4 weeks (Table 2). Among these teens and young adults, many of them did not use any type of contraception for safe sex. Among the 1718 teenagers who were never married and were sexually active, it is found that only 20% used condoms, 2% used the pill, 2% used withdrawal method and a majority of them, three-quarters of them did not use any contraception. But among young adults, 26% used condoms, 2.4% used the contraceptive pill, 3% used withdrawal and 66% did not use any type of contraception (Table 3).

Many of these studies were conducted among adolescents/young adults, clinic-based samples, or other convenience samples; few studies have examined condom and contraceptive use in relation to sexual frequency among the U.S. general population and for a broader age group. However, recent research in the U.S. and internationally suggests that sexual frequency, and PVI frequency specifically, has declined, and especially among younger adults (Ghaznavi et al., 2019; Herbenick et al., 2022; Twenge et al., 2017a, 2017b; Ueda et al., 2020; Wellings et al., 2019), which may potentially lead to changes in patterns of condom/contraceptive use and then ultimately affect rates of unintended pregnancies and STIs. These recent declines in PVI, combined with the fact that prior research shows inconsistent findings regarding the relationship between sexual frequency and condom/contraceptive use, suggest the need for an updated assessment among the U.S. general population.
