| Description: |
To influence adolescents' behaviour, health providers need an understanding of the psycholgcal, cognitive, environmental, and physiological factors in the world of the adolescent. This state-of-the-art volume, sponsored by the Carnegie Council on Adolescent Development, provides a compilation of research, addresses, problem areas (the risk of AIDS, substance abuse, suicide, and broken homes, among other critical issues), and identifies promising avenues for healthpromotion. |
| Synopsis: |
Chronic diseases and premature death can often be linked to social, environmental, and behavioral factors that are subject to modification, especially during adolescence when many habits--both good and bad--are formed. In order to effectively encourage good health-related behaviors among adolescents, health providers need an integrated understanding of the many factors involved. This volume fills that need by providing the most comprehensive, up-to-date review of the pertinent issues, including in-depth discussions on adolescent sexuality, substance abuse, the future of adolescent health promotion, and the relationship between socioeconomic status and health-related behaviors. The outstanding group of contributors represents a wide variety of disciplines and offers proven techniques and approaches that can help future adults enjoy longer, safer, more productive lives. With an emphasis on practical solutions, Promoting the Health of Adolescents will be of value to health and social scientists, health care providers, educators, and administrators who plan and implement programs for adolescent health. |
