Ensuring confidentiality important in treating teens

Article Abstract:

The shield of confidentiality may influence young persons to confide in a physician, accept treatment, and keep appointments for checkups. At the age of eleven years, patients begin to take charge of their own health. Doctors may agree to talk with parents following a private consultation. Physicians should familiarize themselves with applicable federal and state laws defining the doctor's responsibilities and the rights of minors to treatment.
