Confidentiality of care is a primary concern for many adolescents. Research has found that teenagers will go without care, withhold information about themselves, delay, or not seek help in order to keep their parents from finding out about a health issue.[5]  Confidentiality is interconnected with consent to care, through state laws dictating whether a minor can receive or access a health service without parental consent or notification and whether a doctor can tell parents about an adolescent’s health at their discretion. Insurance companies may contribute to a lack of confidentiality by sending an “Explanation of Benefits” (EOB) to the primary insurance holder, usually a parent, when a teenager seeks a healthcare service. This may deter teens from seeking important care for sensitive health concerns.[6]  States have a range of laws regarding consent for sensitive services such as reproductive and mental health care.[7]

Substantial efforts and funding in adolescent health are focused on reproductive health services to reduce the incidence of teen pregnancy and STIs.  Federal programs for sexual education include the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program, the Personal Responsibility Education Program, the Abstinence-Only program which supports the promotion and education of abstinence until marriage.  Access to family planning services is another important component of adolescent reproductive health.  For low-income families, Medicaid covers the majority (71%) of public funding of reproductive health services.[8]  It operates in parallel with the federal Title X Family planning program, which is the only federal grant program specifically dedicated to providing community-based reproductive health and family planning services to teens and low-income women.  Community clinics and family planning providers such as Planned Parenthood are often a primary site of care for low-income teens in need of reproductive health or counseling, family planning, contraceptive, and STI services for a number of reasons.[9]
