For Healthcare Providers
There are many components of appropriate healthcare services and protocols for young persons. The following are best-practices for youth-friendly healthcare services, which were drawn on research from four key sources (see bottom of page for sources):
- Accessible and Affordable Services: Ensure that services are affordable and accessible for teens
- Confidentiality: Assure that young people have confidential access to contraceptive services
- Reproductive and Sexual Health Care: Establish teen-specific protocols for reproductive & sexual health services
- Staff Development: Ensure staff’s well-being and professional development
- Title X Health Center: Health centers that are funded through Title X funds
Teen Health Mississippi is working to train healthcare providers throughout the state on youth-friendly healthcare services that will help them provide the care and services young persons need. These trainings will emphasize the best-practices listed above that have been found through research to be important components of appropriate services for adolescents and young adults.
