Tools for Providers and Patients
Taking care of young people is often a challenge, since they often do not visit their healthcare provider on a regular basis (especially boys and young men). The tools on this page – companion pieces to age-specific self-assessments for young males and females – are meant to trigger questions you may want to ask, even for patients in the office for a simple sports physical. ASHA’s goal is that every provider visit involves these important topics.
The tools were developed through a number of activities, including a literature review and research with the target audiences. As a healthcare provider you have power as well.
