Adolescence is one of the most turbulent yet exciting phases in life. Increased autonomy brings with it new health risks ranging from drugs and sexually transmitted disease, to eating disorders and suicidal depression. Even though todays teenagers are more concerned with and educated about their health than any previous generation, they still engage in risky behaviour.Adolescent Health explores how individual differences contribute to health and illness across a wide range of cultures and socio-economic backgrounds.

Les pratiques psychocorporelles auprès d’adolescents dans une perspective de promotion de la santé sont très peu traitées dans la littérature scientifique, malgré qu’elles constituent une approche globale et positive de la santé pertinente dans un contexte de bonne santé biomédicale des adolescents. Elles se positionnent de plus comme un projet de santé cohérent avec les principes de promotion de la santé à l’école en Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, basés sur le modèle biopsychosocial de la santé, et opportun dans la mesure où ces principes s’opérationnalisent encore difficilement dans la pratique. Mais quels sont les besoins d’éducation des adolescents en la matière ? Pour y répondre, nous nous sommes intéressés aux facteurs d’influence de la pratique d’une activité psychocorporelle de la part des adolescents, dont les préoccupations de vie et de santé, les besoins de santé, les souhaits de sante et les représentations de santé tiennent une place importante.

Over the past several decades, robust economic growth and sustained poverty reduction have made the Dominican Republic (DR) a regional success story, yet the country's adolescent pregnancy rate remains far above the average for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and is closer to the levels observed in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Adolescent pregnancy poses severe risks to girls and young women, including elevated rates of maternal1 and child mortality, and is strongly correlated with sexual abuse and domestic violence. This report analyzes the DR's persistently high rate of adolescent pregnancy, identifies its main determinants and consequences, and evaluates the effectiveness of policies and programs designed to help reduce adolescent pregnancy and mitigate its adverse personal and social impacts. This report presents a set of stylized facts on adolescent pregnancy in the DR and uses an econometric model to estimate the statistical significance of risk factors for adolescent pregnancy and its negative effects at the individual and household levels. Finally, an assessment of early adolescent versus late adolescent pregnancy reveals important differences in their causes and implications.
