TL;DR
Girls younger than 18 years and seeking services at all 33 Planned Parenthood family planning clinics in Wisconsin were surveyed during the spring of 1999, and it was found that mandatory parental notification for prescribed contraceptives would impede girls' use of sexual health care services, potentially increasing teen pregnancies and the spread of STDs.
