In this section, we are pleased to present an extensive collection of adolescent health articles that address the diverse needs of the adolescent and population as it relates to preventative health. Through a wide variety of research publications over the last 7 decades, the needs of those going through this dynamic phase of life have become more understood. Part 1 of the Adolescent Health Care collection presents the most salient of recent publications that aim to describe and address the current issues that affect the health and well-being of children in this important step of their development. Adolescents have a myriad of dynamic changes happening simultaneously, which undoubtedly affect their behaviors and health. It's a time noted for emerging autonomy and sense of self, decision making, and experimentation. Issues such as disordered eating, substance abuse, overuse of screens, unhealthy sleep patterns, dangerous driving habits, and facing prejudice and racism are all common during adolescence, and each is covered with a current article describing how to prevent, diagnose, or treat the effects of these behaviors.
The teen pregnancy and birth rates have decreased in the US in the past 30 years due to factors such as the availability of more hormonal contraceptive options and delayed initiation of sexual intercourse. However, the US still has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates of industrialized countries. Moreover, disparities in teen pregnancy and birthrates still exist due mostly to social determinants of health. This all points to the increased need of pediatric providers to provide comprehensive reproductive health to all adolescents they care for. Now, more than ever, pediatric providers are counted on to provide evidence-based, comprehensive reproductive and sexual healthcare to the adolescents and young adults they care for. A pediatrician's goal is to ensure all children grow to be the healthy, successful, and productive adults they were meant to be. Guiding them through the challenge of adolescence and providing comprehensive reproductive health care can help make that goal a reality.
In Part 3 of this 3-part series, we focus on the importance of transitioning young adult patients to adult care to ensure their optimal health and well-being into adulthood. Adolescent and young adulthood is a period when the individual has many evolving priorities and responsibilities, including educational achievements, employment, independent financial status, housing, and relationships. Research has shown that making the transition to an adult care provider does not commonly occur for young adults; even less so for those with complex or chronic medical conditions. The transition is fraught with several barriers and challenges that are described in detail in this set of featured publications. The articles in this section bring to light the unique needs of these adolescents and how to better help them and their families navigate this time of transition.
