Adolescent Health: Concerns for the Eighties

MICHAEL I. COHEN MD1
 1 Professor and Chairman, Department of Pediatrics, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore Hospital and Medical Center, 111 E 210th St, Bronx, NY 10467

Roswell Gallagher began the first formal adolescent medicine program, several significant issues surrounding care for teenagers continue to surface and form the basis for concern by pediatricians in the upcoming decade. The degree of serious health disability that exists in this age group is shown by the fact that this is the only age group for which the death rate is rising. Furthermore, once recognizing the extent of morbidity and mortality and its diverse characteristics and complexities, it seems clear that to a very significant degree, the mechanism for resolution resides in effective pediatric health care.
