Investigators will attend a series of community outreach events that provide/demonstrate telemedicine and the Children's Mercy Mobile Unit which is equipped to provide direct patient care.

At all events, the mobile unit will be available for teens to (a) demonstrate the mobile unit and telehealth experience; (b) learn about Sexual and Reproductive Health/Mental Health (SRH/MH) and local care resources; (c) register for future telemedicine care; (d) acquire free over-the-counter emergency contraception, condoms, and pregnancy tests.
