State Minor Consent Laws: A Summary
Second Edition (2003) |
| |
| The Center for Adolescent Health & the Law has produced a
200-page monograph that summarizes the minor consent laws for all 50 states
and the District of Columbia: State Minor Consent Laws: A Summary,
Second Edition (2003). |
| |
| The monograph summarizes the state laws that allow minors
to give their own consent for health care. The new monograph provides (for
each state) summaries and citations for two types of laws related to minor
consent. The first type permits certain groups of minors to give their own
consent for health care based on their status (e.g., emancipated minors).
The second type authorizes minors to give their own consent for certain
health care services (e.g., diagnosis and treatment of STD). The monograph
also includes confidentiality and disclosure provisions that are contained
in these minor consent laws and selected findings from case law. In
addition, the monograph includes a detailed introduction that provides an
overview of the legal framework for consent and confidentiality in
adolescent health care, appendices listing additional resources, and an
overview chart of minor consent laws in the states. |
