Adolescent Confidentiality in ObGyn (ACOG April 2020)

In April 2020, the ACOG will release a new committee opinion (803) on adolescent confidentiality and ObGyn. What is the difference between a “mature minor” and an “emancipated” minor? Can minors receive contraception without parental consent? What about emergency care? In this podcast we will highlight (and expand upon) very important points made in this new committee opinion. We will also address potential breaches of adolescent confidentiality due to the use of electronic health records.
