Over the past few decades, scientific principles for effectively promoting adolescent health have emerged from a variety of disciplines in the health and social sciences. This volume brings together these diverse literatures, providing an integrated, state-of-the-art review of the critical issues in promoting adolescent health. With a focus on 'what works', the authors address a wide array of social, economic, cultural, and developmental influences on adolescent health, as well as a variety of specific health-related behaviours. The book provides promising solutions to the crisis in adolescent health, with recommendations for action that will be valuable to social and health scientists, health care providers, educators, and those who plan and implement programmes for adolescent health.
