Book excerpt: Minority adolescents are at increased risk for numerous health problems but are less likely to have a regular source of medical care than either adults or children. During this critical developmental period, adolescents establish behaviour patterns that set the stage for adulthood, creating a unique window of opportunity for clinicians and health care professionals to intervene and promote health. This collection guides the efforts to understand and develop innovative, effective and culturally-sensitive approaches for minority youth populations.
