"Adolescence is a time when youth make decisions, both good and bad, that have consequences for the rest of their lives. Some of these decisions put them at risk of lifelong health problems, injury, or death. The Institute of Medicine held three public workshops between 2008 and 2009 to provide a venue for researchers, health care providers, and community leaders to discuss strategies to improve adolescent health." --

This book focuses on the crucial role that relationships play in the lives of teenagers. The authors particularly examine the ways that healthy relationships can help teens avoid such common risk behaviors as substance abuse, dating violence, sexual assault, and unsafe sexual practices. Addressing the current lack of effective prevention programs for teens, they present new strategies for encouraging healthy choices. The book first traces differences between the "rules of relating" for boys and girls and discusses typical and atypical patterns of experimentation in teens. The authors identify the common link among risk behaviors: the relationship connection. In the second part of the book, they examine the principles of successful programs used by schools and communities to cultivate healthy adolescent development. An illuminating conclusion describes the key ingredients for engaging adolescents, their parents, teachers, and communities in the effort to promote healthy, nonviolent relationships among teens.

Current policies treat adolescent risk behaviours as separate problems requiring separate solutions, ignoring the overlap of many risk behaviours. This text seeks to move beyond the fractured approach of preventing one kind of behaviour at a time and suggests more comprehensive prevention strategies.

Mais le pari est souvent trop périlleux et peut conduire à des addictions, des comportements suicidaires ou des passages à l'acte parfois fatals.Les auteurs s'adressent à tous ceux qui sont amenés à côtoyer des adolescents - psychologues, enseignants, éducateurs, parents - et les aident à prévenir certaines conduites sans interdire ces expériences nécessaires au passage à l'âge adulte.Avec les contributions de Paola Carbone, Didier Drieu, Muriel Eglin, Lise Haddad, Florian Houssier, Nathalie de Kernier, Caroline Lebrun, Jean-Yves Le Fourn, François Marty et Olivier Ouvry.
