The making of an adolescent clinic.
This paper addresses the nationwide need for comprehensive health care services directed toward adolescents, outlining a multidisciplinary team program designed to provide such services. The national problem of teenage pregnancy is discussed, and the multidisciplinary team's success with family planning counseling is described. The authors strongly encourage the development of more school- or community-based clinics based on a comprehensive health care team model.
