Produktbeschreibung
Good mental and physical health during adolescence
is important for successful transition into
adulthood. The lifestyles adopted by adolescents
often continue into later years and influence their
long term prospects for health and well-being. The
broader views of health determinants from a Quality
of Life (QOL) perspective direct attention to these
factors and shows promise for enhancing the physical
and mental health of adolescents. This book
describes a longitudinal study investigating QOL for
adolescents with and without a chronic condition and
its influencing factors over a six-month period. It
also quantifies variations in QOL patterns with
respect to the relevant risk and protective factors.
The results should enhance our understanding of the
effects of the broader determinants of adolescent
health through a QOL perspective. This book will be
of interest to public health researchers and anyone
interested in undertaking quality of life research.
