title: Solutions: The Role of the Private Practitioner.
abstract: I. Continuity and Communication II. Financial Considerations III. Adolescent Gynecology IV. Contraceptive Counseling: A Dissenting View This article discusses four subjects that are essential considerations for physicians and other health care providers to deal successfully with adolescent patients. The first focuses on the integration of adolescents into a general pediatric practice. The second section examines financial considerations in the provision of adolescent health care. The third discusses confidentiality, common problems, and adolescent sexuality as part of adolescent gynecology. The fourth section discusses contraceptive counseling and suggests that more consideration be given to those factors innate to the adolescent psyche in counseling contraceptive methods.
