NASPAG Clinical Consensus on Adolescent Pregnancy Testing: Balancing Confidentiality, Consent, and Disclosure.

Members of NASPAG provide reproductive health care to adolescent patients. This document aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the recommended counseling for any clinician caring for an adolescent patient with a positive pregnancy test, while addressing legal, ethical, and clinical considerations. The document will discuss strategies for guiding patients through the pregnancy testing process, as well as various issues to consider when ordering tests, disclosing results, and managing the situation if the test is positive. Due to variability between institutions and clinical scenarios, this review will not explicitly advise for or against universal pregnancy testing in medical settings.
