Using seven principles as reference points, the NSW centre for the Advancement of Adolescent Health has developed six 'models' of primary health care, which appear promising for improving youth access and quality of primary health care for young people aged 12 to 25. The authors argue that these models, which include the GPs in schools model and the schools-based clinic, now need to be extensively evaluated so that sustainable, evidence-based health care can be more widely adopted.
