and development prior to or at the second decade of life and ending before age 20.n nCurrently,the adolescent population in the United States is the group least likely to have health insurance.Physicians need a careful understanding of the biological and psychosocial changes of adolescence,the associated environmental changes and the legal and ethical issues that affect the provision of health care services to adolescents.n nPuberty is defined as the sequential biological processes that ultimately lead to reproductive capacity.the onset and tempo of puberty vary by sex,population group,and individual.n nDuring puberty,major alterations in the hormonal regulatory systems in the central nervous system,gonads,and adrenals cause changes in skeletal growth and body composition and the acquisition of secondary sexual characteristics.n nThe mechanisms responsible for the initiation of puberty through activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis remain undefined.n nThe sexual maturity ratings(SMRs)of Marshall and Tanner are helpful in monitoring the development of secondary sexual characteristics of pubertal maturation,which are the somatic manifestations of adrenal and gonadal activity.these ratings correlate more closely with bone age than chronologic age.n nThe SMRs for girls are based upon breast and pubic hair development,each in five stages.The ratings for boys are based upon genital and pubic hair development.2009年8月24日wordn naltruisticaltruisticn nchronicallychronicallyn npubescencepubescencen ndeferdefern

through a height velocity curve with consideration of the sexual maturity rating.Bone age can be determined through the utilization of hand roentgenograms.Psychological developmentPsychological developmentn nThe functional and cognitive changes do not necessarily correlate with physical maturation.The early adolescent(age 10 to 13)tends to focus to focus on the physical changes in his or her body and may have concerns about the maturation process.n nFamilies can facilitate adolescence by providing a graduated increase in independence and in responsibilities.Adolescents require both individuality and involvement with family and society to facilitate development of identity and of rational competence.n nThe late adolescent views life in a more sociocentric view,characteristic of adulthood.The late adolescent may be altruistic,and conflicts with the family and society may center on moral issues rather than egocentric considerations.n nClinicians should support this process by encouraging Clinicians should support this process by encouraging adolescents to make their own appointments,assisting adolescents to make their own appointments,assisting the chronically ill adolescent in assuming more the chronically ill adolescent in assuming more responsibility for his or her health care,and responsibility for his or her health care,and encouraging parents to decrease their role in clinical encouraging parents to decrease their role in clinical management issues.management issues.Psychological change associated with pubescencen nSpecific behavioral changes are associated with puberty and its timing.Androgens are involved in this process.During peak height velocity(stages 3to 4),boys tend to have conflicts with their mothers.n nBoys with rising levels of testosterone tend to initiate sexual intercourse and are reported to be more impatient,irritable,and aggressive.Rising levels of adrenal androgens correlate with increased masturbatory activity and heterosocial behavior in girls.n nTiming of puberty is associated with psychological and behavioral sequelae.Earlier physical maturation in girls is associated with more dissatisfaction with their bodies,lower self-esteem,and general un happiness.n nEarly-developing girls also receive less support from peer groups and may associate with older adolescents.n nEarly physical maturation in boys is associated with earlier initiation of sexual behavior,and late maturation in boys is more often associated with negative psychological sequelae.Environmental changen nThe law in most states requires

issues(e.g.,sexual behavior and substance use)may issues(e.g.,sexual behavior and substance use)may interfere with access to health care for adolescents.interfere with access to health care for adolescents.n nThe Mature Minor Doctrine generally allows adolescents to seek health care independently if they are capable of understanding the risks and benefits of the proposed treatment and therefore capable of informed consent.n nThere is usually little risk of liability in providing health care to the older mature minor(14 years or older)if the care is for the individuals benefit or is an emergency.n n 2009年年9月月1日日Morbidity and mortalityn nThe concept that adolescence is the healthiest period of life is based on measures of mortality and morbidity that do not include functional assessment of health status or the effects of behaviors initiated during adolescence on adult mortality and morbidity.n nMost morbidity during adolescence originates from substance abuse,sexual activity,and injuries.Additional causes include mental health problems and skeletal and reproductive disorders.n nEthnic and racial groups differ in respect to the cause of death:black males of 15 to 19 years old have a ninefold greater rate of death from homicide than white males and the lowest life expectancy of all adolescents.wordn nepiphysisepiphysisn nObeseObesen nfemoralfemoraln

been a reversal in the downward trends of substance use that occurred in the 1980s.This increase in substance abuse has been accompanied by a decrease in the perception of harm by such behavior.n n In1994 45.6 percent of high school seniors reported illicit substance use at some time.Rates of lifetime use of LSD and heroin among high school seniors reported use of crack cocaine.n nLifetime alcohol and tobacco use approximated 87 percent and 62 percent,respectively,among high school seniors in 1994.n nGirls consistently report greater use of cigarettes,whereas boys use alcohol more commonly.Approximately 19 percent of adolescents leave high school as smokers,and 21 percent of young adults are regular smokers.n nThe lower The lower rates rates of cigarette smoking in boys may be

injuries and are also implicated in injuries with bicycles,skateboards,swimming,and boating.Males outnumber females by greater than 2 to 1 in all injury situation.n nOverall birth rates have declined over the past decade,but the number of births to unmarried adolescent girls has increased.Furthermore,there were an estimated 412,275 abortions in adolescents in 1992.Pregnancy,birth,and abortion

may begin in childhood include anxiety and panic disorders,personality disorders,schizophrenia,suicide,and eating disorders.Three common problems during adolescence are suicide,depression,and eating disorders.n nThe relationship between male sex and substance abuse and conduct disorders may be responsible for this predominance.n nPrecipitating factors include acute stress,trouble with the law,trouble at school such as cheating or truancy,substance abuse,pregnancy or fear of pregnancy,hypochondriasis,social isolation,and anxiety.In occasional girls perfectionism and anxiety about academic performance(in the presence of average intelligence)or environmental change appear to be causal.Many suicide victims are intoxicated at the time of death.n nThe most common underlying psychiatric factor in suicidal adolescents is depression,manifested by feelings of hopelessness,low self-esteem,despair,and somatic complaints.In the younger adolescent,depressive equivalents of school problems and acting-out behavior may include legal problems.n nAdolescents with a family history of suicide,a history of psychiatric disorders,or a past history of suicidal behavior need to be screened for suicide risk.The depressed adolescent contemplating suicide usually welcomes the opportunity to communicate his or her feelings.n nConfidentiality is immaterial in the face of potential
