This comprehensive reference uses an ecological perspective to sort
out the complex mix of biological, psychological, social, and other
factors influencing adolescent health as well as shaping
professional responses to the needs of adolescents. Describing
critical concerns at the global level and innovative strategies
from selected countries, the book urges readers to develop and
support practices and policies to enhance optimal youth
development. Expert coverage centers on key areas: the global state
of adolescent health and development, adolescent health issues and
public health answers, making health systems more responsive to
youth, and improving school health services. And bedrock themes
such as social determinants of health, young people's right to
health care, and health and gender disparities are discussed
throughout these chapters. Included among the topics: * The
epidemiology of adolescent health * Adolescent sexual health and
sexuality education * Restorative justice and the mental wellbeing
of adolescents * Critical issues in adolescent nutrition: needs and
recommendations * Towards an adolescent competent workforce *
Pairing children with health services: the changing role of school
health services in the 21st century The International Handbook on
Adolescent Health and Development is essential to medical schools,
public schools, and college libraries; teaching faculty; graduate
and post-graduate students in public health, medicine, social work,
other behavioral sciences and health disciplines (e.g., nursing,
allied heath); as well as practitioners interested in better
orienting their services to the health needs of adolescents.
