Interview with Michelle Dang, author of “Let Teens Provide Their Own Consent for the HPV Vaccine” (June 2012)

HPV is the most common sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the United States and the primary cause of cervical cancer. In this interview with AJN’s editor in chief Shawn Kennedy, author Dang reasons why she supports the passage of the California law allowing children 12 years and older to self-consent for preventive services to reduce transmission of STDs.
