Summary Minority adolescents are at increased risk for numerous health problems but are less likely to have a regular source of medical care than either adults or children. During this critical developmental period, adolescents establish behavior patterns that set the stage for adulthood, creating a unique window of opportunity for clinicians and health care professionals to intervene and promote health. This [book] guides the efforts to understand and develop innovative, effective, and culturally sensitive approaches for minority youth populations. "Health-Promoting and Health-Compromising Behaviors Among Minority Adolescents" [is intended] not only [for] health psychologists but [for] all clinical and counseling professionals who might treat minority adolescents
