Since 1986, when malaria was the main cause of maternal death in this area, the Shoklo Malaria Research Unit has run a weekly antenatal clinic programme to detect and treat all parasitaemic episodes during pregnancy, to prevent malaria mortality and reduce morbidity [ 13].
Patients scheduled for unilateral primary TKA between April 1st 2005 and June 30th 2006 in the 'Arthrose kliniek Maastricht' (Maastricht osteoarthritis clinic) programme at the Maastricht University Hospital, the Netherlands, were invited to participate in the study.
The YFS programme has the potential to improve health services for young people, and to improve their health outcomes, and has previously been identified as a successful model of how to implement a youth-friendly clinic programme in terms of the achievement of standards relating to clinic policies and the clinic environment [ 38, 44].
Earlier work identified the YFS programme as an effective approach for implementing a youth-friendly clinic programme within a public health system in terms of pre-defined standards that included: the types of services provided, the clinic environment and policies supporting adolescents' rights [ 38].
