Given the struggle over resources to improve teenagers' reproductive health outcomes, the views of clinicians serving teenagers at high risk for unintended pregnancy and STDs merit particular attention.<\/jats:italic> <\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>\n            <jats:bold>METHODS:<\/jats:bold> In 2005, a qualitative study with 31 clinicians serving low\u2010income, at\u2010risk patients was conducted.<\/jats:italic> <\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>A semistructured interview guide was used to ask clinicians about adolescent pregnancy, HIV and STD prevention counseling, and when they include abstinence.

Several providers mentioned that with young, sexually inexperienced teenagers, they discuss delaying sexual activity and suggest other ways to be affectionate, while giving information on condoms. Providers explained how they assess whether teenagers feel ready to be sexually active and try to impart skills for healthy relationships. Some described abstinence as giving teenagers a way to opt out of unwanted sexual activity. Many support abstinence if that is the patient's desire, but routinely dispense condoms and contraceptives.<\/jats:italic> <\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>\n            <jats:bold>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:bold> Overall, providers did not give abstinence counseling as a rigid categorical concept in their preventive practices, but as a health tool to give agency to teenagers within a harm reduction framework. Their approach may be informative for adolescent policies and programs in the future.<\/jats:italic>
