OBJECTIVES/GOALS: This study examines health provider andcaregiver influences on adolescent dual prevention strategies, or the use of condoms and another form of contraception, to informa clinically focused triadic intervention, involving caregivers, adolescents aged 15-17, and health providers. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Data for the 2021 Teen and Parent Surveywere two online, cross-sectional surveys, a national sample of adolescents aged 15-19, and a survey of caregivers of 15–17-year-old adolescents. Data were matched to create a dyadic dataset (n=273). Drawing from the Actor-Partner-Dependance Model we will conduct a secondary retrospective analysis, specifically cross-sectional univariate, bivariate, and multivariate logistic regression analyses on sets of influences around contraception and sexual health: communication with parents and health providers, information delivery of sexual health, condom attitudes and self-efficacy around preventative behaviors. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: In preliminary unadjusted analyses, 91% of the sample were cis-gender females (n=249), of which 32% (n=87) had sexual contact with someone who could get them pregnant. In the past, 35% (n=86) discussed birth control pills and 9% (n=24) discussed long-acting contraception with a health provider. In the last health visit, 29% (n=72) discussed STI prevention. Caregivers discussed sexual decision-making (49%, n=144), how to prevent pregnancy (62%, n=169), and how to prevent STIs (55%, 151) at least once in the past year. At last sex (n=49) most used condoms (47%, n=23), followed by birth control pills (33%, n=16), and withdrawal (14%, n=7). Additional predictors and adjusted analyses will be further examined. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Dual prevention strategies can be influenced by caregivers and health providers, but they are contingent on communication. Triadic interventions may consider involving both caregiver and health provider communication around sexual health prevention.
