    Author: Rew L, Johnson RJ, Jenkins SK, Torres R.
    Journal: J Holist Nurs; 2004 Dec; 22(4):303-19; quiz 298-302. PubMed ID: 15486151.
    Abstract:
    Adolescents learn health behaviors in a sociocultural context of community, family, and peers. Although many adolescents engage in behaviors that protect and promote health, others engage in behaviors that threaten or compromise their health. The purpose of this review article is to provide an overview of health-risk behaviors and the morbidities and mortalities of adolescence that are related to these behaviors. Interventions that address these health behaviors and outcomes are presented along with suggestions for a holistic nursing response to this important public health concern.
