AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS:
Counseling the Adolescent About Pregnancy Options

Committee on Adolescence

When consulted by a pregnant adolescent, pediatricians should be able to make a timely diagnosis and to help the adolescent understand her options and act on her decision to continue or terminate her pregnancy. Pediatricians may not impose their values on the decision-making process and should be prepared to support the adolescent in her decision or refer her to a physician who can.
