In order to best support adolescent and young adult patients, pediatric offices should work to adopt a culture that reflects their unique needs and reduces barriers that may interfere with their ability to access essential health care services. Use the resources in this toolkit to increase awareness of the importance of confidential care for teens and foster an adolescent-supportive practice environment.
It doesn’t take a lot of time to make a lifetime of difference.
