Patient Handouts

Parent Package
The Parent Package is designed to help physicians share important information about adolescence with parents and adolescent patients. Each of the 15 topics addressed in these handouts contains up-to-date facts, parenting tips and other resources. Used individually or as a package, the handouts can reinforce—but not replace—a personal discussion between a physician and an adolescent's parent.
