Need for service providers in society.
Service providers must understand the cultural sensitivities
surrounding the provision of information and services to
young people. To the extent possible, community leaders and
parents should be involved in developing programmes
targeted at young people. Service providers with deep
cultural knowledge (especially if the provider is part of that culture) are more likely to provide services acceptable to the
community than those considered "outsiders".
Programmes should identify and encourage peer leadership and communication. Peers are usually perceived as safe and trustworthy sources of information. It is essential to have links between health and community services. Links between health and community services are necessary to ensure that young people get the appropriate treatment for problems which might be revealed through one service but require additional assistance from another service (e. g., sexual violence or unsafe abortion). Young people need privacy.
The problems that bring them to a service provider often make them feel ashamed, embarrassed or confused. Though space may be at a premium in a refugee camp, it is important for providers to try to create the most private space possible in which to talk to young people. Confidentiality must be guaranteed. Service providers need to maintain confidentiality in their dealings with young people and be honest with them about their health problems. In most cultures, the gender of the service provider is important. A young person should be referred to a provider of the same sex.
