Resum

Adolescence is generally considered as a period of health. If we compare the adolescents group with the childrens or the elderly groups, they are the healthiest group given the lesser vulnerability of young people to illness. However, we also know that adolescents today are increasingly at risk for adverse health outcomes, namely illness, disability and even death (DiClemente, Hansen, & Ponton, 1996; United Nations, 1994; United States Department of Health and Human Services, 2000).
