Both boys and girls should get dental care and eye care. All teens in detention should have access to contraception and screening to detect physical, emotional and sexual abuse as well as routine screening for sexually transmitted diseases.

Teen girls absolutely should have access to intake and periodic pregnancy testing and if pregnant, extra nutrition and access to abortion, adoption, and healthy maternity programs.
