PURPOSE: To further elucidate the various aspects of the triadic relationship between health-care providers (HCP), adolescents, and caregivers during adolescent health-care visits, with the goal of helping HCPs better understand how they can best support adolescents to choose healthy behaviors. METHODS: Adolescents (ages 13-18 years) and caregivers of adolescents were recruited to participate in qualitative interviews regarding preferences for provider interactions around health behavior change. Data analysis was conducted using inductive thematic analysis to identify and describe patterns of themes across the dataset. RESULTS: Thirty one adolescents and 30 caregivers participated. Fourteen themes emerged in the analysis regarding adolescent and caregiver preferences for direct and indirect relationships between adolescents, caregivers, and HCPs in promoting healthy behavior. These themes were organized into a triadic collaboration framework to promote healthy behavior using an adolescent-centered and caregiver-involved approach. DISCUSSION: This study supports findings of previous research on triadic interactions between HCPs, adolescents, and caregivers while deepening our understanding of the HCP's role in helping adolescents to choose healthy behaviors. These themes are representative of the continuing shift toward an adolescent-centered and caregiver-involved approach to adolescent health care and provide further guidance to HCPs on how to work collaboratively with both adolescents and caregivers to promote healthy behaviors and improve health outcomes.
