Adolescent Friendly Health Clinics (AFHCS) in India and their compliance with government benchmarks: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT: Background: Adolescent Friendly Health Clinics (AFHCs) are one of the critical pillars of India's Adolescent Health Programme-Rashtriya Kishor Swasthya Karyakram that seeks to enable all adolescents to realize their full potential by making informed decisions concerning their health and by accessing the services. Thus, a review was conceptualised to assess the compliance of AFHCs with the benchmark proposed by the Government under Rashtriya Kishor Swasthya Karyakram. Methods: Three databases (PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar) were searched for articles published between 2014 and December 2022. A snowball search strategy was also used to retrieve all published articles. Based on the search strategy eight studies were included. Results: AFHCs are not fully compliant wit
