Abstract

Objective: Black girls disproportionately face adverse sexual and reproductive health outcomes in their lifetime. In healthcare, Black girls experience racism and misogyny, which manifest as a combination of discriminatory practices and biases that result in their symptoms being dismissed or neglected, their voices silenced, inadequate treatment, and higher mortality rates. Pediatric providers are in an ideal position to influence, advocate, and strengthen Black girls' sexual and reproductive health. The purpose of this topical review is to discuss current guidelines and provide recommendations to improve pediatric sexual and reproductive care for Black girls.

Methods: We examine current pediatric guidelines and recommendations for adolescent sexual and reproductive health.

Results: Current guidelines recommended by organizations and professional societies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization, Society of Adolescent Health Medicine, and American Academy of Pediatrics are inconsistent and insufficient for the unique needs of Black girls.

Conclusions: We offer three recommendations for pediatric providers to ensure the optimal sexual and reproductive health care for Black girls. These provider recommendations will aid in the protection of Black girls' sexual and reproductive health.
