A national sample of community health nurses were surveyed to assess their knowledge of, attitudes toward, and involvement with reproductive health services. Results indicated that slightly more than half of the nurses provided or administered contraceptive services to adolescents, although 73% worked in settings where contraceptive services were provided to adolescents. However, only 2,6% indicated that adolescents were their primary client population. The majority (64,3%) stated that they felt as prepared to work with adolescents are sexually active before seeking family planning services, a minority correctly answered question about pregnancy and contraception among adolescents. Ninety - five percent agreed that contraceptives should be available to adolescents, and 90% agreed that parental consent should not be required for adolescents seeking contraceptive services. Yet, only 21,5% were aware of the implications of the adolescent family life act.
