All clinic partners implemented at least 21 of the 29 recommended teen friendly clinic best practices.

A new e-learning platform was launched to meet the remote learning needs of our clinic partners. 64 participants completed at least 1 training course using this e-learning platform. In addition to the prerecorded webinars the following trainings were made available to them via the e-learning platform: adolescent development, minors' rights, and connecting teens to care. Digital advertising campaigns focused on promoting telehealth and keeping youth connected to healthcare in response to the covid-19 pandemic.

We analyzed data and summarized findings in white papers that report students' recommendations for sex ed, school policies, educator resources, and responding to anti-lgbtqia language in the classroom. We began to disseminate findings. We updated a resource list for local lgbtq+ young people and provided resource referrals/recommendations for shift nc project partners and other community members statewide who inquired about topics such as finding a lgbtqia-competent therapist for children or emergency housing for trans youth. We updated materials in a lgbtq+ terminology learning activity that is utilized in our trainings; and facilitated an internal terminology learning session with staff. We developed/reviewed lgbtqia content for virtual trainings with health care providers, youth educators, and child custody systems.
