Learning about the sexual health and behavior of patients is an important part of providing high-quality, patient-centered, accessible, and efficient health care to the people in your health center. This toolkit has been created to help develop and implement systems for collecting routine histories of sexual health with all adult patients. Sexual histories should also be taken with adolescent patients. However, because the history-taking approach differs somewhat for adolescents, we recommend supplementing the information provided here with additional resources focused on adolescents. Understanding that all health centers are different, the tools have been designed to be adaptable to different practices and patient populations. Additionally, an extensive list of resources has been included to further your learning about sexual health and behavior and taking routine sexual histories.
