title: Health education for adolescents with abnormal Pap smears.
abstract: No model that meets the educational and psychosocial needs of adolescents with abnormal Pap smears has been proven effective. The Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center (AHC) combines early identification, appropriate treatment, and follow-up of such patients. In conjunction with medical care, the AHC provides health education, risk assessment, and risk reduction. This article outlines how the AHC provides reproductive health education and counseling for adolescents with abnormal Pap smears.
