(Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health) Only about half of young people 13 to 26 years old in the United States report ever having time with their regular healthcare provider without a parent or someone else in the room, despite professional guidelines that recommend adolescents and young adults have access to confidential services and time for private discussions. Young people who report having private time or discussing confidentiality have more positive attitudes regarding their healthcare provider and clinical preventive services.
