"Be careful about what you document – parents may be able to access the information," the presentation noted under a slide about confidentiality. Asked about the warning against documenting information related to LGBTQ+ students, Allen, in a statement provided through the state health department's communications office, told Fox News Digital,"When we say, ‘Be careful about what you document,’ we convey that clinicians, when deciding what words to use in documentation, should carefully consider the youth's individual situation and any harm that may arise from writing about a youth's identity in the medical record.
"Realize that even though we live in a more liberal and affirming state, individuals’ experiences will be impacted by those around them who may be rejecting ," the presentation states. It asks questions like,"What stereotypes have you been taught about LGBTQ+ people,""How do your beliefs align or differ from those of your family members, friends, colleagues, etc.,""What are your privileges," and"How can you use your privilege to support others who are marginalized?"
