from organizational position statements; resolutions; position or policy
papers; comments submitted in response to proposed regulations; testimony or
letters submitted to Congress or the Administration; codes or principles of
ethics; and other formal organizational practice guidelines. |

| The material drawn from these formal policy documents is
organized and analyzed according to such themes as the rationale for
supporting confidential health care for the general population and for
adolescents in particular; policies and procedures to protect
confidentiality; the role of parents and guardians in adolescent health
care; the importance of informing adolescents and parents about
confidentiality protections and limits to those protections; policies about
informed consent and confidentiality for specific services; confidentiality
concerns for particular populations of adolescents; and statements about
confidentiality in particular health care settings. The Compendium includes
both verbatim quotes from the policy documents themselves and extensive
tables analyzing the material. |

Health Services for Adolescents, resulted from a collaboration between
