title: Perspectives of chronically ill adolescents and parents on health care needs.
abstract: A comprehensive and developmentally appropriate Primary Health Care Needs Assessment (PHCNA) was constructed for use with 24 chronically ill adolescents and their parents. The adolescents identified boredom, concern about the future effects of their illnesses, not being able to do the things their friends do, headaches, depression, being overweight, not doing well in school, and needing help to decide about the future among their priority primary health care needs.
