Male adolescents' sexual and reproductive health needs often go unmet in the primary care setting. This report discusses specific issues related to male adolescents' sexual and reproductive health care in the context of primary care, including pubertal and sexual development, sexual behavior, consequences of sexual behavior, and methods of preventing sexually transmitted infections (including HIV) and pregnancy. Pediatricians are encouraged to address male adolescent sexual and reproductive health on a regular basis, including taking a sexual history, performing an appropriate examination, providing patient-centered and age-appropriate anticipatory guidance, and delivering appropriate vaccinations. Pediatricians should provide these services to male adolescent patients in a confidential and culturally appropriate manner, promote healthy sexual relationships and responsibility, and involve parents in age-appropriate discussions about sexual health with their sons.

“…All persons have privacy interests, and when they seek care they expect health care professionals to protect their health information from confidentiality breaches. As documented in decades of research findings [9,10], fear of such breaches can deter people from seeking health care, with potentially severe consequences for their health and public health.…”

“…Patients who may have the greatest fear of breaches of confidentiality include those seeking sensitive services such as sexual and reproductive health care, mental health services, or substance abuse treatment [11]; adolescents; those affected by domestic or intimate partner violence [9,12]; and those covered as dependents on a family member's health insurance policy. When a patient is covered on a policy of someone else-a parent or a spouse-communications about claims often go to the policyholder, thereby disclosing the patient's confidential health information.…”

“…19,23 Some states also have laws regarding parental notification whereby interpretation is based on the patient's age and presenting problem. 24 Practices that serve adolescents typically have policies with respect to what portion of an adolescent's care should be handled with special privacy protections (eg, in some jurisdictions, the adolescent must give explicit permission for the parent to review his or her records). These privacy protections may require the flagging of protected information.…”

Some functions of an electronic health record system are much more important in providing pediatric care than in adult care. Pediatricians commonly complain about the absence of these "pediatric functions" when they are not available in electronic health record systems. To stimulate electronic health record system vendors to recognize and incorporate pediatric functionality into pediatric electronic health record systems, this clinical report reviews the major functions of importance to child health care providers. Also reviewed are important but less critical functions, any of which might be of major importance in a particular clinical context. The major areas described here are immunization management, growth tracking, medication dosing, data norms, and privacy in special pediatric populations. The American Academy of Pediatrics believes that if the functions described in this document are supported in all electronic health record systems, these systems will be more useful for patients of all ages.
