    Abstract: Problems relating to human reproduction are among the critical issues of our time, and it is appropriate that pediatricians contribute to the solution of these problems. The changing dimensions of comprehensive pediatric care, more specifically the significant numbers of pregnancies being reported in young persons, support this position. For example, national statistics show that 44% of all pregnancies occur in persons under 20, and one out of four mothers on Aid to Families with Dependent Children in New York is pregnant before 16. At least four roles can be identified for the pediatrician: 1. Genetic counseling: the pediatrician has already become proficient in giving knowledge to parents of the incidence of inborn errors of metabolism, chromosomal abnormalities, and other problems associated with genetic inheritance patterns. 2. Sex education: he often provides sex education to individual patients, families, and parents, in addition to teaching groups in his own practice and in schools, churches, or youth organizations. 3. Family planning and pregnancy counseling: he may provide assistance in these areas in behalf of the parents or adolescents. This assistance may involve a wide range of clinical advice and treatment, including the concept of spacing (rhythm method), contraceptive devices, or oral medication, whatever is considered most suitable for the individual. All alternatives for dealing with an unwanted pregnancy should be seriously discussed with the teenage girl and the other persons involved, including the parents if feasible. The pediatrician is in a unique position by the nature of his close association and relationship with the adolescent patient to provide this important personal service.

    Abstract: The increasing emergence of legislation providing for minors' consent for health care furnishes a range of basic medical, legal, and social issues which require the thoughtful consideration of physicians caring for youth. The legislative provisions referred to account for a variety of consent situations ranging from the care of a specific illness or disorder to the dramatic lowering of the age for which consent for health care can be given. The ultimate conflict in the matter of minor's consent is between the basic rights and responsibilities of parents concerning their children and the emergence of the concept that youths have the right to make decisions relating to their bodies and their care. When the preservation of privacy and confidentiality affects the utilization of health care by youth, the conflict must be resolved. Not only have state legislatures provided varying opportunities to resolve some of these issues, but also two major health organizations concerned with the health of youth have provided model acts which would serve as a basis for enabling young people to consent for confidential, comprehensive health care. In recent years society has demonstrated a tendency to permit young people to determine a variety of aspects of their own affairs well before the traditional age of majority. In regard to health decisions, a number of situations have emerged in which the rights of youths deserve consideration. These include circumstances in which the person might avoid health care if the parents have to be informed, when a communication breakdown between the young person and the parents has taken place, if a need for emergency care occurs when parents cannot be reached, or when young people are living away from home in an adult life style. Legislative responses to the sociohealth concerns affecting youth do not take a moral or judgmental position, nor do they infer a lessening of the importance of family integrity. They do respond to a number of reality health matters with high incidence which have emerged, particularly in the past decade. These laws do not require physicians to treat young people on their own consent, nor do they forbid physicians from informing parents if this is considered in the best interest of the patient. Furthermore, it is important for the physician to persuade youths to involve their parents and gain their support and understanding. Minors' consent can serve to restore interrupted communication between young people and their families. The appearance and evolution of the "emancipated minor" and the "mature minor" concepts is recognition of the capacity of the adolescent to determine his own affairs and give an informed consent. The age at which human beings reach maturity is variable, and competent decision making is not assured by arrival at a certain chronological age.

    Abstract: In a previous statement approved by the Executive Board of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and subsequently by the House of Delegates of the American Medical Association, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists emphasized the magnitude of the problem of teenage pregnancy and the responsibilities of professionals involved in the care of these young people. Rapid changes in contemporary attitudes and in legislation have caused many physicians and their patients to consider abortion as an acceptable solution to an unwanted pregnancy in adolescent girls. These changes place a heavy responsibility on pediatricians and other physicians caring for adolescents, particularly in regard to their special need for compassionate and considerate understanding. Although the American Academy of Pediatrics prefers neither to sanction nor to forbid the use of abortion to terminate an unwanted pregnancy in the teen-age girl, it does have the responsibility to insist that physicians considering this recourse provide for appropriate counseling and support for these adolescent girls and other involved persons, including the young fathers. In circumstances where the pediatrician is unable to provide adequate counseling support, he should act as the pivotal person in arranging for a social worker, pastor, or other experienced counselor to conduct this essential of care, both before and after the procedure. Consistent with his accredited role in preventive medicine, the pediatrician must make certain that adequate information and sex counseling are available to his teenage patients. Contraceptive advice and prescription for the sexually active teenage girl should be accompanied by investigation and alteration of contributing issues wherever possible.

    Abstract: Young people who find themselves in juvenile court facilities constitute a group who traditionally have displayed a high incidence of health problems. Many have had inadequate care in the past, and enter with preexisting medical and dental conditions. Whether or not they are in good physical health, they often are handicapped in the area of mental health. The conditions which necessitate removing them from their homes and placing them in institutions may aggravate, or even cause, physical and mental health problems. When society undertakes to remove children and youth from their homes and place them in institutions away from the care of their parents, it assumes certain obligations. Among these obligations is care of their physical and mental health. Health programs in juvenile court facilities must be broad and comprehensive and must go beyond the mere provision of medical care. The extent of the health care which should be offered to an individual will depend on the length of time he is in the institution. But, every institution which confines juveniles should have a health program designed to protect and promote the physical and mental well-being of residents, to discover those in need of short-term or long-term medical and dental treatment, and to contribute to their rehabilitation by appropriate diagnosis and treatment and provision of continuity of care following release. The standards given here are designed to attain these goals. ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURE OF THE HEALTH PROGRAM Health Council 1. Each institution should have a multidisciplinary health council to set the policies of the health program. 2. The council may be organized within the institution or by the authority which operates the institution.

    Abstract: In January 1964, the Surgeon General's office released its report demonstrating the strong potential relationship between cigarette smoking and lung cancer as well as the pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases which afflict thousands each year.1 Since that time, an estimated 30 million Americans have quit smoking; but, during the last two years, there has been a noticeable increase in per capita cigarette consumption among women and teen-age girls.2 Every day 3,200 adolescents between the ages of 12 and 18 take up smoking (exclusive of those who are just experimenting with smoking, the 10- to 12-year-olds).3 The Bureau of Census estimates that the number of teen-agers smoking rose from 3 million to approximately 4 million between 1968 and 1972. The proportion of smokers in the 12 to 18 age group increased from 14.7% to 15.7% among boys and 8.4% to 13.3% among girls.4 Analysis of research by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare on teen-age populations indicates there are many environmental factors that affect the initiation of the smoking habit; however, by far the strongest influence is the smoking behavior of parents and siblings.5 If both parents smoke, the teen-ager has about twice the likelihood of being a smoker than if neither parent smokes (the rates are 18.4% to 9.8% respectively). If an older brother or sister smokes, the teen-ager is twice as likely to become a smoker himself.5 When the combined effect of smoking of parents and older siblings is considered, the concept of family patterns is reinforced. The lowest level of smoking is found among teen-agers who live in nonsmoking households.

    Abstract: In October 1970, the Academy identified itself with those who favored Separating marijuana from the group of drugs subject to stringent narcotic laws. It recommended that individuals who were found to be in possession of the drug for personal use, or were present where the drug was being used, should be charged with a misdemeanor rather than a felony.1 Subsequently, the Committee on Drugs in a statement on drug abuse legislation noted its concern with marijuana.2 This position is based on the fact that marijuana is clearly not a narcotic and does not appear to have a potential for physical dependence. It should not be construed, however, as favoring the legalization of marijuana. A decision in this regard must await the development of further research on the properties of the drug. The potency of marijuana has not been standardized and may vary widely. Furthermore, anecdotal accounts exist of the adulteration of marijuana with other chemical agents to produce a more profound effect. It has therefore been difficult to determine with precision the effects of marijuana as it is commonly used. The limited research findings that are currently available would not appear to indicate any significant harmful physical effects from the smoking by humans of moderate amounts of plain marijuana. The recent report from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare3 states that "although the state of intoxication is frequently vivid as described by the (marijuana) user, an observer may see little change from a normal state. Mild states of intoxication often go completely undetected. Physiological changes are notably minimal."

    Abstract: As a result of the sharp rise in venereal disease during the past decade, which seriously threatens the health of our young people, pediatricians must become actively involved: 1. in the prompt identification, treatment, and epidemiologic control of venereal disease in young people and newborn infants; 2. in developing and promoting social legislation related to the treatment of minors; 3. in encouraging and participating in effective educational programs for youth on venereal disease. A heightened alertness to the possibility of venereal disease is required by every physician.
