Abstract
In this issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health, Patton et al have summarized a meeting held at the London’s Institute of Child Health in September 2009 [1]. The meeting was organized to follow-up on their seminal article published in the Lancet which showed the high mortality rate of adolescents in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), as well as the severe burden of disease linked with health behaviors that originate during early and middle stages of adolescence [2].
