The Center's consent and confidentiality work
focuses on state minor consent laws and the confidentiality provisions they
contain, the federal medical privacy regulations known as the HIPAA Privacy
Rule, other state and federal confidentiality protections, and the policies
governing adolescents' participation in health research studies. The Center
devotes particular attention to attempts to repeal, limit, or undermine
these laws, which are critically important in maintaining adolescents'
access to essential health care.
