This report describes the population of young men who use the Young Men's Clinic in New York City, presents a profile of their reproductive behaviors, and describes the clinic's model of service delivery.
Data were gathered through a routine clinic visit form administered by clinic staff.
The clinic sees approximately 1200 predominately Dominican young men each year for a wide range of clinical and mental health services. Two thirds of clients had ever been sexually active, three quarters had ever used birth control, and 69% had used birth control at their last sexual encounter.
The Young Men's Clinic may serve as a model for health care delivery to adolescent and young adult males.
