Dear Colleagues,
Over the coming months we plan to do a series of newsletters on topics related to children and teens. The theme of this newsletter is adolescent sexual health and development. Although today's youth are confronted with serious issues regarding their sexual health, recent surveys indicate that they lack important information about such matters as pregnancy, sexual orientation, STDs, HIV/AIDS, or how to talk about sexual issues with their parents, a health care provider, or someone they might be dating. Today's resources shed light on a number of these subjects.
Please feel free to forward this information to professional colleagues, who can sign-up for a free subscription to Friday's Progress Notes at http://www.athealth.com/Practitioner/Newsletter/fpn_subscribe.html
Click here to review archived newsletters (1997 to the present).
