The practical roles school staff can play in addressing adolescent reproductive health issues such as teen‐age pregnancy, STDs, and HIV/AIDS are reviewed. Particular attention is given to identification and assessment of adolescents most at risk for pregnancy, STDs, and HIV/AIDS, and the regulations that address protection of students' privacy in this area.
