Abstract
In August 2002 a new federal rule took effect that protects the privacy of individuals health information and medical records. The rule which is based on requirements contained in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) embodies important protections for minors along with a significant degree of deference to other laws (both state and federal) and to the judgment of health care providers. These provisions represent a compromise between competing viewpoints about the importance of parental access to minors health information and the availability of confidential adolescent health care services.
