Adolescent health
Abstract
The period of adolescence is associated with
complex psychological, physical and cognitive
changes as children transition to adulthood. In more
recent times this transition has taken on added
complexities, particularly in developing countries
undergoing social and political changes, in an era of increasing
globalisation and access to information through new technologies.
