The adolescent traveler.
Oh, to travel again with the carefree attitude of the adolescent! Yet most readers will think that this enormous list of precautions would merit never letting the adolescent out of the house. The traveler and his or her provider can be reassured that with appropriate (and confidential) forethought, the journeys that lie ahead can be joyful and healthy. The bottom line? The more information obtained before travel both for the traveler and his or her family, the less morbidity will be incurred. The primary care provider is in the perfect position to provide all of these services to the adolescent traveler.
