Adolescent Health is a survey textbook that includes an overview of existing theories and current research on interventions that address the social morbidities and mortalities of adolescents. Author Lynn Rew examines theories from a variety of professional disciplines that provide frameworks for understanding adolescent health behavior and health outcomes. Each theory is presented in terms of its essential elements, including its origin, a brief background of the theorist's philosophical paradigm, the purpose and usefulness of the theory, the meaning and scope of the theory, and, when available, empirical referents.

Industry Reviews

"The idea is very appealing for a number of reasons. Adolescent health is an area that fundamentally requires an interdisciplinary perspective in terms of both scholarly work and applied practice. This book promises to deliver in terms of that kind of breadth of perspective, and the author certainly has the qualifications to make real that promise of breadth as well as depth. . . . This would work well as a course text as well as for courses/seminars on adolescent health, adolescent behavior, and adolescent development." -- Michael D. Resnick "How I wish this book had been available when I was a doctoral student! To my knowledge, there are no other books that are focused on all the different relevant adolescent health theories. . . . This is a unique work, and one that has been desperately needed for a long time." -- Elizabeth Saewyc "A book like this is definitely needed. . . . I have been searching for several years to find a core textbook I could use in my graduate course in adolescent health. This book, in combination with selected empirical readings that focus on specific health problems, would be very useful. . . . I could also see this book being a useful general resource for both academics and practitioners." -- Carolyn Tucker Halpern "Adolescent Health does an extraordinary job of helping these learners understand theory as a guide to and framer of their understanding... How refreshing to find a single volume that not only tells us where we've been, but illuminates the critical pathways we must travel for the foreseeable future of interdisciplinary adolescent health research." -- SirReadaLot.org
