Preventive health care for adolescents.
Physicians, parents or guardians, and the community all have an important role in preventive care for adolescents. Adolescents desire more interaction with their primary care providers. Physicians can influence the health care of adolescents by developing a collaboration with them that augments protective factors and allows a reduction in risk behaviors.
