Abstract
Information on adolescent health can be obtained from a variety of sources. Medical practitioners can offer little insight on the subject because adolescence is the period of life in which there is the least number of consultations with a doctor and the lowest rate of hospitalization. Such professionals therefore observe and record little on adolescents. Educators youth workers and some social workers with professions focused upon adolescence could offer insight into adolescent health but they are almost never consulted. Parents have hardly more occasion to say anything on the subject. To obtain a better understanding of adolescents health information must be obtained from adolescents themselves. The role of epidemiologists what is known about adolescents and their health what is being learned and what remains to be discovered are discussed.
