Problem Behavior Theory and Adolescent Health

Meer over het boek

Focusing on psychosocial determinants, this volume explores adolescent health behaviors, including both risky activities like problem drinking and healthy practices such as exercise. It highlights the importance of understanding these behaviors within the context of adolescent development and offers insights for prevention and intervention programs. The interdisciplinary approach is illustrated through comparative studies of U.S. and Chinese youth, demonstrating the theory's applicability across different cultures and societies.
