<h1><font face="book antiqua, times new roman, times" mstheme>Case Study 12</font></h1>
<p>A fifteen-year-girl attends the clinic requesting the combined oral contraceptive pill,
as she does not like condoms. The girl is the daughter of a colleague and you know
her but she does not know you. You discover she has had many sexual partners and was
recently treated for a sexually transmitted disease. Apparently her parents are
unaware of her behaviour. Although you have a long talk with her about condom use in the
context of a sexual health, she seems to display a cavalier attitude and still insists she
will not use protection. The following week you meet the girl’s mother after a
professional meeting. She confides in you her fears concerning her
daughter'’ behaviour concerning drug misuse and wonders if she is sexually
active. She asks if you have seen her in the clinic and promises not to reveal you
as a source of information if her fears are justified. She stresses she will not
reveal any lack of confidentiality on your part if you have any information for her. <o:p></o:p></p>
