Routine checkup in the past year, high school by county, 2017, 2019, 2021
Why Is This Important?
Access to regular health care services helps support healthy development in adolescence. Adolescents should have a physical checkup once a year and a dental checkup twice a year. Physicals should include immunizations, time alone with a clinician, and information about health-promoting (and damaging) behaviors. Most adolescents receive recommended annual physical checkups and at least one dental checkup a year. However, barriers, such as lack of insurance or trained clinicians prevent some from accessing care.
