Center for Adolescent Health and the Law

Annotation: The Center for Adolescent Health & the Law (CAHL) supports laws and policies that promote the health of adolescents and their access to comprehensive health care. The center is a national nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. The center conducts research, analyzes laws and policies, prepares and disseminates publications, provides training and technical assistance, and engages in advocacy. The center’s work addresses a broad range of issues influencing the financing, delivery, and utilization of comprehensive health services for adolescents. The center’s work falls into two primary program areas that together encompass the majority of barriers that adolescents must overcome to have access to comprehensive health care: consent and confidentiality; and financial access to services. Much of the center's work focuses on the needs of low-income and disadvantaged youth.
