Adolescent Health Literacy and Learning offers insights to all
those who care about promoting and assisting adolescent health
development: health education teachers, health practitioners, and
youth care workers. Adolescent health is of worldwide concern,
especially as we learn that health habits and attitudes established
in adolescence continue into adulthood. For example, chronic
diseases such as diabetes that began in mid to late adulthood are
becoming more prevalent in younger ages. Academics, clinicians and
teachers are searching for ways to raise the health literacy and
health outcomes of adolescents to better prepare them for the
future. There is a need to raise the profile of adolescent health
literacy and learning in order to address issues in adolescent and
adult health. This edited volume features expert Canadian health
literacy scholars writing on topics such as digital technology,
software applications to health promotion, advertising, gender,
suicide, nutrition, fitness, and mental health specifically for
adolescents. It contains theoretical and practical ideas as well as
resources for practitioners and educators to assist adolescents
with interacting more critically with health information. The hope
is that this book will help young people grow into adults who are
more health literate. All contributing authors are experts in
adolescent health literacy. Many take a uniquely Canadian
perspective as well. They all acknowledge the impact of a variety
of individuals and groups on adolescents, but also encourage the
development of an adolescent's sense of individual identity,
critical thinking, social responsibility and even activism as part
of their health literacy.
