The Center's work falls into two primary program areas that
together encompass the majority of barriers adolescents must overcome to
have access to comprehensive health care: consent and
confidentiality; and financial access to
services.
Much of the Center's work is crosscutting and
involves the intersection between consent and confidentiality policies and
the financing of adolescents' care. The Center's work emphasizes the needs
of vulnerable populations of adolescents such as those from low-income
families, young people who have been in state custody, and homeless and
disconnected youth.
