HELPING TEENS STAY HEALTHY
AND SAFE: HEALTH CARE, BIRTH CONTROL AND CONFIDENTIAL SERVICES
(2007) |
| |
| The Center for Adolescent Health & the Law and Healthy
Teen Network have produced a set of resources entitled:
"Helping Teens Stay Healthy and Save: Health Care, Birth Control and
Confidential Services." |
| |
| The Helping Teens Stay Healthy and Safe
series is the result of a year long investigation of how teen access to
confidential services is affected when a state's laws are unclear or not
well understood. Offering confidential services is often necessary for
teens to access essential preventive care. Even so, not all states
explicitly authorize minors to consent for contraceptive services and
even in those that do confusion about how and when teens may access
confidential services often prevails - among administrators, clinical
care providers, clinic support staff, teens, and parents. |
| |
| This comprehensive series of brochures offers guidance to
health care providers, teens, and parents of teens about ways they can
deliver, receive, and support adolescents' access to confidential
contraceptive services. |
| |
| Healthy Teen Network is a national membership
network founded on the belief that youth can make responsible decisions
about their sexuality and reproductive health when they have complete,
accurate and culturally relevant information, skills, resources and
support. For more information, visit
