Adolescent Health Services pdf
Description

Adolescence is a time of major transition, however, health care services in the United States today are not designed to help young people develop healthy routines, behaviors, and relationships that they can carry into their adult lives. While most adolescents at this stage of life are thriving, many of them have difficulty gaining access to necessary services; other engage in risky behaviors that can jeopardize their health during these formative years and also contribute to poor health outcomes in adulthood. Missed opportunities for disease prevention and health promotion are two major problematic features of our nation's health services system for adolescents.Recognizing that health care providers play an important role in fostering healthy behaviors among adolescents, "Adolescent Health Services" examines the health status of adolescents and reviews the separate and uncoordinated programs and services delivered in multiple public and private health care settings.
