Internists can assume a greater role in the provision of health care to adolescents. Adding an understanding of adolescent development to the skills and knowledge already possessed by internists will allow internists to interact more comfortably and effectively with adolescent patients. Learning about specific areas of importance such as adolescent morbidity and mortality, consent and confidentiality, interviewing techniques, and preventive health care will further enhance an internist's knowledge regarding adolescent health. There are numerous resources available to help intensive care for adolescent patients.

“…The disability may cause the later adolescent issues of attaining autonomy to be persistent beyond expected adolescent years. Others too have supported the view that social maturation and other psychosocial milestones may be likely to extend through to the early twenties (Siegel, 1987), although individual differences may exist.…”

“…Although designed for adolescents aged from 13 to 18, Offer et al (1992) state that the OSIQ-R can have significant value when applied to young adults dealing with the issues of adolescence. Because of the potential for continuation of psychosocial needs when adolescence is paired with disability, the OSIQ-R is a valid measure of self-image for this group (Siegel, 1987). For those adolescents over 18 years, standard scores are compared to the closest available normative group of 16-18-year-old females.…”

Functional Electrical Stimulation (PES) augmented in-home standing is a life-changing and time consuming assistive technology with the significant potential for increasing the independence of persons with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). Although positive psychological benefits are often cited as expected outcomes, little is known of the psychologically related effects of participation in PES research applications. To investigate these variables, four older adolescents/young adults with SCI who used PES to stand in their home environments were recruited. This study explores the age specific constructs of sclf-image, the disability specific constructs of personal independence and handicap, and the person-specific construct of device match for these older adolescents. Results are described in light of disabled adolescent's needs, and future research areas are identified.

“…About 1 million are severely affected, while many more are less severely affected. Thirty to forty percent of those affected have no primary care physician (16). Factors such as better case-finding, longer survival, and environmental triggers may contribute to the doubling of prevalence rates over the past 20 years.…”

Health care providers caring for adolescent patients are faced with problems unique to this age group due to their evolving developmental stages of growth. Serious problems with psychosocial as well as biological bases causing major morbidity and mortality are encountered. Purely biomedical approaches and quality standards are likely to be inadequate. Age and developmental stage appropriate approaches to treatment and prevention are required, with attention to environmental stresses and risk-taking behaviors. Adolescent development, current hazards, and preventive strategies are reviewed.
