title: [The status of preventive medical examinations based on labor safety regulations for adolescents--results of a survey in 129 students].
abstract: The implementation of laws governing the protection of the health of adolescent workers has rarely been investigated scientifically. The paper presents results of an investigation probing into the opinions of 129 students of vocational schools regarding their expectations, experiences and assessments in respect of preventive medical examinations based on this legislation. The results are discussed with the consequence that improvements either in content and organisation of these examinations may increase the acceptance among the adolescents. This acceptance seems to be the crucial factor for a higher efficacy of the protective function of legislation.
