Adolescent Health: Understanding and Preventing Risk Behaviors covers developmental and health problems unique to the adolescent period of life. Its focus on special needs and public health programs for adolescents offers deep insight into problems such as smoking, violence, teen pregnancy, AIDS and other problems. It includes important theoretical models for developing interventions and offers prevention strategies for each risk behavior as well as a description of effective treatment modalities. Drawing on the leading experts in the field, this text covers smoking, violence, teen pregnancy, and AIDS. Also described are important theoretical models for developing interventions; prevention strategies; and effective treatment modalities. CONTENTS Foreword, Joy Dryfoos PART I.
