METHODS: Data were from the DocStyles provider survey administered September–October 2020. Descriptive analyses were restricted to family practitioners, internists, and pediatricians whose main work setting was outpatient and whose practice provided family planning or sexually transmitted infection services to ≥ one patient aged 15–19 years per week just before the COVID-19 pandemic (n = 791). RESULTS: Among physicians whose practices provided intrauterine device/implant placement/removal or clinic-based sexually transmitted infection testing before the COVID-19 pandemic, 51% and 36% indicated disruption of these services during the pandemic, respectively. Some physicians also reported reductions in walk-in hours (38%), evening/weekend hours (31%), and adolescents seeking care (43%) in the past month. At any point during the pandemic, 61% provided contraception initiation/continuation and 44% provided sexually transmitted infection services via telehealth. Among these physicians, about one-quarter reported confidentiality concerns with telehealth in the past month. There were small increases or no changes in other strategies to support contraceptive care. CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest disruption of certain SRH services and issues with access because of the pandemic among primary care providers who serve adolescents. There are opportunities to enhance implementation of confidential telehealth services and other service delivery strategies that could help promote adolescent SRH in the United States. Findings highlight disruptions to sexual and reproductive health services during the COVID-19 pandemic among primary care providers who serve adolescents. There are opportunities to enhance implementation of confidential telehealth services and other strategies that promote continuity of care. The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the healthcare landscape in the United States, with potential adverse consequences for adolescent sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Contraception and sexually transmitted infection (STI) services remain critical for adolescents given high rates of unintended pregnancies and STIs [1, 2] . However, concerns have been raised about limited availability of in-person SRH care owing to clinic closures, cancellation of services deemed nonessential, and diversion of staff and other resources [3e5] . Even when services are available, reductions in walk-in and evening or weekend hours, which are considered youth-friendly practices [6] , may limit adolescent access, or adolescents may forgo in-person care they deem nonessential to minimize coronavirus exposure [7, 8] . Although the rapid expansion of telehealth has partially compensated for disruptions to in-person services [9] , confidentiality concerns associated with this approach may be a particular barrier for adolescent patients [4,9e11] . In the context of stay-at-home orders and increased parental telework, many adolescents may be unable to have telehealth visits with providers privately [4] . In addition, certain SRH services, such as provision of the most effective reversible contraception methods (i.e., intrauterine devices [IUDs] and implants) and some STI testing and management, require in-person visits [12e14] . Despite these concerns, few studies have examined SRH care during the COVID-19 pandemic [15, 16] . One report from the United Kingdom found that declines in attendance at select SRH clinics since the pandemic began were more pronounced for individuals younger than 18 years of age [16] , underscoring the importance of considering SRH care for adolescent populations. We do so in the U.S. context, using data from primary care physicians who provided family planning and STI services to adolescents before the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, we examine changes in (1) availability of in-person SRH services; (2) accessibility and utilization of SRH services; and (3) use of strategies to support provision of SRH services during the pandemic. Data were from the DocStyles provider survey administered by Porter Novelli (http://styles.porternovelli.com) September 14e October 26, 2020 . This nonprobability-based online panel survey recruits U.S. healthcare providers from Sermo's global medical panel (http://www.sermo.com), which includes about 350,000 providers who have opted in and had their employment verified via telephone confirmation at their place of work. DocStyles uses set quotas of 1,000 general primary care physicians (family practitioners and internists) and 250 for various provider types and physician specialties. To be eligible, providers must actively see patients in the United States and have been practicing for at least three years. Respondents received an honorarium from $54 to $72 depending on the number of questions they were asked. Questions were developed related to COVID-19 and SRH services for inclusion on the Fall 2020 survey (Supplemental File). These items were implemented with general primary care physicians, pediatricians, and obstetricians/gynecologists. However, this analysis is limited to the general primary care and pediatrician samples given these physicians are typical primary care providers for adolescents [17] , and primary care is an important setting for preventive care generally and providing adolescent SRH services specifically [18, 19] . Moreover, missed opportunities for providing adolescent SRH services in the primary care context are well-documented [20, 21] , and demands related to COVID-19 testing and treatment [22] (which may be less pronounced for obstetricians/gynecologists focused on SRH services) may exacerbate these gaps in care. Response rates for the general primary care physicians and pediatricians were 69% (n ¼ 1,000) and 76% (n ¼ 252), respectively. Most general primary care physicians were male (69.9%), white (61.3%), and non-Hispanic (94.8%) (compared with 54.9%, 79.6%, and 88.7%, respectively, of active members of the American Academy of Family Physicians) [23, 24] . Among pediatricians, 56.8% were male and 61.9% were non-Hispanic white (compared with 66% and 71%, respectively, of all pediatricians participating in the 2018e2019 American Academy of Pediatrics Periodic Survey) [25] . Table 1 summarizes survey questions and response options in relation to the study objectives. The survey asked physicians whether their practice provided selected services to patients (not specifically adolescents) just before and at any point during the COVID-19 pandemic, without defining specific time frames. For each time period, respondents could select all from the following services: IUD or implant placement; IUD or implant removal; clinic-based STI testing; telehealth for contraception initiation; telehealth for contraception continuation; and telehealth for STI services. We created single indicators for IUD or implant placement or removal and telehealth for contraception initiation or continuation. Separate questions addressed issues providing family planning or STI services because of the pandemic at any point during the pandemic and in the past month. Response options included IUD or implant placement services limited; IUD or implant removal services limited; and STI testing services limited. Again, we combined responses regarding IUD or implant placement and removal to create single indicators for limited IUD or implant services for each time period. These questions about issues providing family planning or STI services at any point during the pandemic and in the past month also included response options addressing access and utilization issues particularly salient to adolescent patients: walk-in hours reduced [6] ; weekend/evening hours reduced; [6] fewer adolescents seeking care; and confidentiality concerns with telehealth [9e11]. The same questions also provided a response option "clinic closed for in-person appointments." Another question asked providers to select characteristics that applied to their practice just before the pandemic; "walk-in hours were available" and "weekend/evening hours were available" were two of several response options included. Finally, separate questions assessed use of strategies to support contraceptive services just before and at any point during the COVID-19 pandemic. Physicians could select from a list including: renewed contraception prescriptions without requiring an office visit; provided or prescribed a year's worth of oral contraceptives; provided or prescribed emergency contraceptive pills in advance of need; and sent patient reminders about depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate injections or IUD/ implant removal/replacement. Family practitioners, internists, and pediatricians whose main work setting was outpatient and whose practice provided family planning or STI services to one adolescent patient (defined as male and female patients aged 15e19 years) per week just before the COVID-19 pandemic were included (n ¼ 791). We examined individual physician characteristics (i.e., age, gender, race/ ethnicity, specialty, years in practice) and clinical practice characteristics (i.e., individual outpatient vs. group outpatient, Census region, urbanicity, weekly patient volume, weekly pediatric patient volume) collected as part of the core survey. To assess changes in availability of selected in-person SRH services (i.e., IUD or implant placement or removal and STI testing), we examined the proportion providing each service just before the COVID-19 pandemic and restricted all further analyses of that service to those physicians. For each service, we calculated the proportion indicating any service disruption, defined as the service was not provided or provided but limited at any point during the pandemic. We estimated service discontinuation as the proportion of respondents who indicated each service was not provided at any point during the pandemic. Finally, among those who indicated the service was provided at any point during the pandemic (i.e., not discontinued), we examined the proportion of physicians reporting the service was limited in the past month. To examine changes in accessibility and utilization of services, we first examined the proportion of providers who reported their clinic closed for in-person appointments, at any point during the COVID-19 pandemic, and in the past month. Because we wanted to examine walk-in hours, evening/weekend hours, and patient volume independent of closures, analyses for these indicators were limited to respondents who did not report their clinic closed for in-person appointments. Among those who reported walk-in hours were available before the pandemic, we calculated the proportion reporting reduced walk-in hours at any point during the pandemic and in the past month. Similarly, among those who reported weekend/evening hours were available before the pandemic, we calculated the proportion reporting reduced weekend/evening hours at any point during the pandemic and in the past month. We examined the proportion of physicians reporting fewer adolescents seeking care overall and by whether walk-in and weekend/evening hours were reduced, using chi-square statistics to assess differences. Finally, we calculated the proportions of the entire analytic sample using strategies to support provision of SRH services just Table 1 Survey items used to measure availability, accessibility, and use of strategies to support SRH services Response options used to examine availability of in-person SRH services Response options used to examine accessibility and utilization of SRH services Response options used to examine use of strategies to support provision of SRH services Just before the COVID-19 pandemic, what services did your practice provide?

We also assessed initiation and discontinuation of each strategy during the pandemic. Initiation was defined as the percentage of physicians whose practices used the strategy at any point during the pandemic among those whose practices did not use the strategy just before the pandemic. Discontinuation was defined as the percentage of physicians whose practices did not use the strategy at any point during the pandemic among those whose practices used the strategy just before the pandemic. Among physicians whose practice offered telehealth for contraception or STI services during the pandemic, we examined the proportion reporting confidentiality concerns with telehealth overall and by physician specialty, using chi-square statistics to test differences. Because all analyses used deidentified data provided by Porter-Novelli, review by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Institutional Review Board was not required. About one-quarter (22.8%) of the 791 participants were pediatricians, and nearly one-third (31.2%) were internists ( Table 2 ). The median physician age was 47.0 years, and the majority were male (64.8%) and non-Hispanic white (59.7%). Most physicians' primary work setting was a group practice (85.1%). Only 13.0% practiced in a rural setting, and a little over one-quarter (27.7%) reported that the household income of the majority of their patients was less than $50,000. Nearly three-quarters (72.4%) had low adolescent patient volume for SRH services just before the COVID-19 pandemic (i.e., 1e10 per week), but most (83.3%) had moderate (52.3%; 11e50 per week) to high (31.0%; 51 per week) pediatric patient (<18 years) volume at the time of the survey. Median weekly pediatric patient volume was about one-third (31.2%) of total weekly patient volume. Among the third of physicians (32.6%) who reported their practice provided IUD or implant placement or removal services just before the COVID-19 pandemic, approximately half (51.2%) indicated any service disruption during the pandemic, and about one-fifth (21.3%) indicated services were discontinued since the pandemic began (Table 3 ). Of those who had not discontinued IUD or implant services, about one-quarter (26.1%) reported services were limited in the past month. Among the threequarters of physicians (75.1%) whose practice offered clinicbased STI testing just before the COVID-19 pandemic, 35.9% indicated any service disruption, and 18.0% reported services were discontinued since the pandemic began. Of those who had not discontinued clinic-based STI testing, 16.8% reported services were limited in the month before survey completion. Table 4 presents the proportion of physicians reporting access and utilization issues among those whose clinics did not close for in-person appointments at any point (69.8%) or in the past month (85.6%). Half (50.9%) of those who had walk-in hours before the pandemic reported such hours were reduced at any point, and 37.8% were reduced in the past month. About two-fifths (42.4%) of those who had weekend/evening hours before the pandemic reported such hours were reduced at any point, and 31.0% were reduced in the past month. Overall, nearly half (49.6%) reported fewer adolescents seeking care at any point during the pandemic; 43.4% reported this issue in the past month. The proportion experiencing reductions in adolescent patient volume was higher Compared with just before the COVID-19 pandemic, there were increases in use of the following contraceptive provision strategies that minimize the need for in-person visits: telehealth for contraception, renewed contraception prescriptions without requiring an office visit, and provided or prescribed emergency contraceptive pills in advance of need ( Table 5 ). The proportion using telehealth increased from 35.2% just before the pandemic to 60.7% at any point during the pandemic (p < .001), and of the nearly two-thirds (64.8%) whose practice did not offer telehealth for contraception initiation or continuation before the pandemic, 43.1% began telehealth for these services during the pandemic. For the other strategies to support contraceptive care, there were small increases or no changes, in part because the proportion initiating a given strategy was offset by the proportion discontinuing the strategy. For example, while 14.0% began providing or prescribing a years' worth of oral contraceptives, 12.8% discontinued doing so. For two strategiesdproviding or prescribing emergency contraceptive pills in advance of need and sending patient reminders about contraception injections or IUD/implant removal/replacementdinitiation was reported by 13.6% and 4.3% of physicians, respectively, whereas about one-fifth of physicians discontinued use of each. As for STI services, 43.5% offered services via telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic (Table 5) , which was a significant increase comparing just before and during the pandemic (21.7% vs. 43.5%, p < .001). Of the 78.3% who did not previously offer telehealth for STI services, 29.4% began doing so. Among physicians offering SRH services via telehealth during the pandemic (n ¼ 531), about one-quarter reported confidentiality concerns with telehealth as an issue providing family planning or STI services at any point in the pandemic (27.3%) and in the past month (24.5%). More pediatricians than general primary care physicians reported this concern (at any point: 36 This analysis is among the first to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on provision of SRH care in the United States from physicians' reports. We specifically consider implications for adolescents by restricting analyses to primary care physicians who reported providing SRH services just before the pandemic to patients that include those 15e19 year of age and examining indicators particularly salient to this population. Findings suggest selected in-person SRH services have been limited during the pandemic. Among physicians who provided ¼ 791) . b Among physicians who reported the service was provided just before COVID-19 (n ¼ 258 for IUD or implant placement or removal; n ¼ 594 for STI testing), physicians who reported service was not provided at any point during the pandemic or if provided, was limited at any point during the pandemic. c Among physicians who reported the service was provided just before COVID-19 (n ¼ 258 for IUD or implant placement or removal; n ¼ 594 for STI testing), physicians who reported service was not provided at any point during the COVID-19 pandemic. d Among physicians who reported the service was provided just before COVID-19 and at any point during the pandemic (n ¼ 203 for IUD or implant placement or removal; n ¼ 487 for STI testing). e Survey was fielded September 14 to October 26, 2020. ¼ 791) . c Among physicians who reported walk-in hours were available just before the COVID-19 pandemic and their clinic did not close for in-person appointments (n ¼ 269 for experienced at any point during the COVID-19 pandemic; n ¼ 341 for experienced in the month prior to survey completion). d Among physicians who reported weekend/evening hours were available just before the COVID-19 pandemic and their clinic did not close for in-person appointments (n ¼ 276 for experienced at any point during the COVID-19 pandemic; n ¼ 332 for experienced in the month prior to survey completion). e Among physicians who reported their clinic did not close for in-person appointments (n ¼ 552 for experienced at any point during the COVID-19 pandemic; n ¼ 677 for experienced in the month prior to survey completion). the service just before the pandemic, half indicated a disruption in IUD or implant services, and more than one-third reported a disruption to clinic-based STI testing. This finding is not especially surprising given federal health officials recommended certain services be canceled or postponed in the early days of the pandemic [27] . However, despite later guidance for healthcare facilities on how to provide necessary in-person clinical services in the safest way possible [28] , issues with service availability may be persisting. For example, among physicians who provided IUD or implant services just before the pandemic, about one-fifth indicated the service was discontinued since the pandemic began, and about one-quarter reported services were limited in the past month. Examining differences in availability of services by region may help to explain these findings given regional variation in COVID-19 cases [29, 30] and the timing, duration, and extent of pandemic-related closures [31] . Data also suggest potential challenges with access to services even if they are available. Around one-third of physicians whose clinic did not close for in-person appointments and whose practice offered walk-in or weekend/evening hours just before the pandemic reported reductions in these best practices [6] for adolescent access in the past month. Such changes may have contributed to the reports that fewer adolescents sought care given estimates were significantly higher among those who also reported reduced walk-in and weekend/evening hours. It is also possible that adolescents may be deferring care because of concerns about coronavirus exposure, which has been documented among adults [5] or may have less need for services owing to potential decreases in sexual activity during the pandemic [4] . Given these issues with availability, accessibility, and utilization, strategies to support provision of SRH service, including those that minimize clinic visits, are vital. It is promising that there were significant increases in telehealth for contraception and STI services compared with just before the pandemic. However, there are opportunities for improvement because 39% and 56% of physicians did not offer these services, respectively, during the pandemic. In addition, fewer than half of those who had not been providing telehealth for each service just before the pandemic began doing so. Furthermore, among physicians using telehealth, about one-quarter reported confidentiality concerns. The higher proportion among pediatricians suggests this may be a particular challenge in providing confidential telehealth care to adolescent patients. Promoting confidential telehealth encounters through use of headphones, chat functions, and closedended questions would enhance the promise of telehealth for providing SRH services, including to adolescents [9e11, 32, 33] . There is also a need to address broader barriers to telehealth, such as insufficient patient and provider infrastructure and reimbursement issues and concerns, that may contribute to limited implementation [34, 35] . For other strategies to support contraceptive care (e.g., renewing prescriptions without an office visit), there were minimal or no net increases when comparing use just before and during the pandemic. As with telehealth, there are opportunities to enhance the proportion initiating these strategies. However, the proportions discontinuing strategies also suggest a need to understand drivers of discontinuation to inform resources for sustaining strategies used before the pandemic. For example, only 4% began sending reminders for depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate injections and IUD/implant removal/replacement, and 20% discontinued this strategy, perhaps reflecting competing priorities for staff related to COVID-19 testing and care or staffing shortages so less capacity for activities outside of direct patient care [3, 5] . Limited use of this particular strategy during the pandemic may be a missed opportunity as patient outreach could potentially mitigate declines in adolescent patient volume. Automating patient reminders via text or portal messages may facilitate use and effectiveness of this strategy going forward [36] . This study has limitations, particularly regarding measurement. Few of the measures are specific to adolescent patients. Although the analytic sample is restricted to physicians whose practices deliver SRH care to patient populations that include adolescents, the absolute number of adolescents receiving SRH services per week just before the pandemic was low for most respondents so findings may not be particularly applicable to adolescent-focused clinics where adolescent volume for SRH care would likely be higher. Minimal demand for SRH services may explain some of the findings regarding limited use of additional service delivery strategies. Service provision is used as proxy for service availability even though it may reflect patient demand, and "STI testing services limited" is used to describe limited provision of in-person services though the measure did not specify the setting. In addition, measures did not distinguish IUDs from implants though the procedures involved differ and provision of implants may be more common in primary care [37] . Another measurement limitation is that "just before" the pandemic was not defined, and differing interpretations could have influenced the results. Finally, providers were asked to report on their entire practice, and the validity of practice-level responses for most respondents, who worked primarily in group settings, is unclear. There are also limitations related to the study sample. Given our focus on primary care physicians, we did not examine the practices of obstetricians/gynecologists, even though these specialists provide SRH services to adolescents and may serve as primary care providers for older adolescents in particular [17] . Internet-based panels have sampling limitations [38] , and because the sample was not random, statistical inferences should be interpreted with caution, selection bias is possible, and findings are not generalizable, although response rates >60% are robust for provider surveys [39] . It will be important to apply a health equity lens to future research on provision of SRH services in the context of COVID-19 [40] . For example, examining implementation of telehealth by urbanicity could inform efforts to minimize disparities in access to SRH care for rural populations where clinic-based services are less available [41, 42] . Additional research on adolescent sexual behavior and service receipt is also warranted to fully understand the impact of the pandemic on unintended pregnancies and STIs among young people, which remains an important outstanding question. The pandemic has underscored the importance of supporting contraceptive care to prevent unintended pregnancies among adolescents given increased risk for adverse outcomes among pregnant 15-to 24-year-old individuals infected with the coronavirus compared with their nonpregnant counterparts (although the absolute risks remain low) [43] . Disruption of SRH services during the pandemic among primary care providers who serve adolescents is concerning, and reductions in walk-in and weekend/evening hours and adolescent patient volume suggest limited accessibility and utilization of services. However, increases in SRH service provision via telemedicine are promising, and there are opportunities to improve use of this and other service delivery strategies to ensure continuity of adolescent SRH care during the pandemic and beyond.
