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. The book provides guidance to administrators in public
and private health care agencies, health care workers, guidance
counselors, parents, school administrators, and policy makers on
investing in, strengthening, and improving an integrated health
system for adolescents. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary 1
