A request for the 'morning-after' pill.
A request for post-coital contraception may be the first consultation by a young girl for contraceptive advice. The problem may be used as an opportunity to discuss other relevant issues such as AIDS. The case will need sympathetic and sensitive handling and demands consideration of confidentiality, especially in Samantha's case as she is only 15.
