title: Clinicians' views on reproductive needs and services for teens with negative pregnancy tests.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore services available to adolescent girls at the time of the negative pregnancy test (NPT) in an urban community.
  
  
  METHODS
  Clinician focus groups were conducted to identify the needs of adolescents at the time of a NPT result.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Teens access care in a variety of ways, services provided at the time of a NPT were agency and clinician dependent, and strategies for follow-up care often were unstructured. Few services were available for parents or partners. Barriers included difficulty communicating with agencies, lack of staff trained to work with adolescents, and time/financial constraints.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Adolescents need comprehensive, teen-friendly reproductive care at the time of a NPT result.
