# Context
Original working context:
- Act as an adolescent health communication specialist. I need to communicate effectively with an adolescent patient: Patient: {{age}} Context: {{with_parents_alone_sensitive_topic}} Clinical goal: {{health_assessment_treatment_discussion_risk_behaviour_counselling_confidentiality_discussion}}
- Step 1: Write a confidentiality explanation appropriate for the adolescent (what you can keep confidential and what you cannot, and why)
- Step 2: Write opening questions that establish rapport with a reluctant or anxious adolescent
- Step 3: Write the HEADSS assessment questions in a conversational (not clinical-sounding) style: Home, Education/Employment, Activities, Drugs, Sexuality/Sexual health, Suicide/Depression
- Step 4: Write age-appropriate explanations for any planned intervention
- Step 5: Write how to navigate disagreement between an adolescent patient's wishes and their parent's wishes

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

Use when consulting with adolescent patients — particularly for sensitive topics, risk behaviour assessment, or when parents are present.

PRO TIP

Ask to see the adolescent alone for at least part of every consultation — adolescents will not disclose risk behaviours in front of parents, and most significant adolescent health risks will be missed if you never assess them alone.
