N2  - Adolescence is the time when health risks can stem from lifestyle choices. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), only a few behaviors account for most of the mortality, morbidity, and social problems in adolescents. These behaviors are: behaviors that result in unintentional or intentional injuries; drug and alcohol use; sexual behavior; diet; tobacco use; and physical inactivity. This article provides nurses with baseline prevention strategies to use with adolescents, parents, and communities, as well as suggestions for minimizing the incidences of preventible health problems.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
