title: Problems of adolescent sex.
abstract: Four issues concerning adolescent sexuality are reviewed--the counselling needs of teenagers, the risks of Sexually Transmitted Diseases, the controversy over contraception for adolescents, and the consequences of pregnancy in adolescence--in terms of their effect on the adolescent as an individual, and on the community of which he/she belongs. The need for services specifically designed for adolescents is stressed, demonstrating that many of the "problems" of adolescent sex can be successfully addressed through comprehensively planned and executed programmes.
