Updated 02.25.09 The laws surrounding teens and health care can be vague and confusing. Depending on the situation, teens have the right to make some health decisions on their own. And confidentiality and consent laws vary widely depending on the age of the teen and the treatment needed.
The ACLU of Ohio publication,
"Your
Health and the Law: A Guide for Teens" (updated in 2009), addresses
the confusing details of teen health care law in an understandable
format. You can download the
booklet for free, or
purchase print copies.
