Inspiring healthy adolescent choices: a rationale for and guide to strength promotion in primary care

Paula M Duncan et al. J Adolesc Health. 2007 Dec.

Abstract

The social, emotional, and biological health of adolescents requires their development as autonomous beings who make responsible decisions about their own health. Clinicians can assist in this development by adopting a strength-based approach to adolescent health care, which applies concepts from positive youth development to the medical office setting.
