OBJECTIVE: To evaluate child neurologists' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care for adolescent and young adult women with epilepsy (WWE).
METHODS: Child neurologists (including attending physicians, residents, fellows, and advanced practitioners) completed an online survey distributed through subspecialty listservs. We analyzed results using descriptive statistics, chi-square, and logistic regression.
RESULTS: Two hundred eight child neurologists completed the survey. Most believed that child neurologists should counsel young WWE on: teratogenesis (99%, n = 206/207), contraception-antiseizure medication interactions (96%, n = 194/202), pregnancy (95%, n = 198/206), contraception (89%, n = 184/206) and folic acid supplementation (70%, n = 144/205). Fewer respondents felt confident with such counseling (teratogenesis: 90%, n = 188/208, drug interactions: 65%, n = 133/208, pregnancy 75%, n = 156/208, contraception: 47-64%, n = 96-134/208, p < 0.05). Ninety-five percent (n = 172/181) reported ever discussing SRH with typically developing young WWE, compared to 78% (n = 141/181) for young WWE with mild intellectual disability (p < 0.01). One third (n = 56/170) who ever discussed SRH did not do so routinely. Respondents correctly answered 87% ± 5% of knowledge questions about SRH for WWE, 80% ± 4% of questions about teratogenic antiseizure medications, and 61% ± 7% of questions about contraception-antiseizure drug interactions. The greatest barrier to SRH care was time constraints (80%, n = 149/186). The majority (64%, n = 119/186) identified solutions including longer appointment times and co-managing SRH care with other specialties.
CONCLUSIONS: Findings reveal gaps in SRH care by child neurologists for adolescent and young adult WWE, especially those with mild intellectual disability. Provider-identified barriers and solutions may serve as targets to improve SRH care for this population.
