Abstract

Epidemiologists as well as professionals working in the area of adolescent health generally agree that adolescence is a period characterized by a difference in frequency of risk-taking behaviour between girls and boys. An explanation of these data through ethno-psychological and psychodynamical approaches is hereby presented. Such approaches should be taken into account for general preventive strategies to take effect.
