Special Issue on Adolescent Health

Adolescence is a critical transitional period of our life, which includes the biological changes of puberty and the need to negotiate vital developmental tasks, such as increasing independence. Adolescent health covers many areas, from mental and physical health to healthy relationships. Although adolescents are often thought of as a healthy group, some important public health and social problems either peak or start during these years.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Adolescent Health. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Adolescent reproductive health
• Adolescent mental health
• Adolescent physical health
• Adolescent relationships
• Substance abuse
• Diet and physical activity
• School health and youth health promotion
• Youth and tobacco
• Violence and injury
• Youth and road safety
• Teen and unplanned pregnancies

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Adolescent Health” should be selected during your submission.
