There are two primary objectives in this study. The first objective is to refine the investigators previously developed general sexual risk reduction intervention (SexHealth II) to focus on patient-centered contraception counseling and initiation for hospitalized female adolescents. The second objective is to conduct an open trial to assess feasibility of the investigators SexHealth II intervention among hospitalized females aged 14-21 years (N=75). Among key stakeholders (i.e., adolescent participants, parents/guardians, hospitalists and nurses), the investigators will assess Bowen's feasibility constructs: acceptability, demand, implementation, practicality, integration, and limited-efficacy testing. The investigators hypothesize that the SexHealth II intervention will be deemed feasible by female adolescent participants (i.e., the median score across all feasibility items will be > 2.5.)
