Abstract
Teenage sexuality and conception are areas of concern in the United Ki ngdom. There has been little information regarding the provision of ca re in general practice. Other agencies have suggested that many teenag ers have nowhere to go for help as they are distrustful of the general practice service. This study shows that this may not be the situation for the majority of teenage girls. In the two practices studied over 50 per cent of the 405 girls aged 16-19 had consulted and been counsel led on contraception.
