Adolescent Health Care

The idea
Twelve- to seventeen-year-olds are less likely than younger children to get sufficient preventive care, though screening should cover abuse, stress, depression and suicide risk.
In practice
An annual checkup including blood pressure, vaccinations against meningitis and HPV, and a private conversation with the doctor.
Where people slip
Confidential care, in which teens can discuss concerns privately, is part of adolescent health guidance.
