Edited by Lawrence (Bloomberg School of Public Health, The John Hopkins U.) and the Committee on Adolescent Health Care Services, this study outlines the health status of adolescents and examines the separate and uncoordinated programs that operate in public and private health care environments. It offers guidance for health care agency administrators, as well as practitioners, guidance counselors, parents, and policy makers. It also includes suggestions for improving adolescent health services, insurance coverage, and training a workforce to serve the health needs of adolescents.
