Annotation: This webinar on consent and confidentiality issues for adolescent health care providers features Dr. Ken Cheyne, medical director of Blank Children's Hospital in Des Moines, Iowa. Dr. Cheyne discusses seven different hypothetical cases dealing with issues of confidentiality in adolescent and young adult healthcare. The examples illustrate how health practitioners and clinics can use policies and personal approaches when dealing with young people and their parents, while also keeping in mind the ethical and legal requirements of consent and confidentiality. These examples are somewhat specific to the state of Iowa, as they cite what is mandated by Iowa code, but can also be helpful to practitioners in other states.

Annotation: This paper addresses the question of whether laws requiring that physicians notify or obtain consent from a parent of a minor seeking an abortion before performing the procedure deter risky adolescent sexual behavior.

Topics include abortion access and risky sexual activity among adolescents, data and samples, methods, and estimated impacts of PI laws on STIs.
