Abstract

When examining an adolescent, clinicians should look beyond the presenting complaint and ask questions designed to illuminate such problems as social and emotional adjustment, nutrition, sexual health, smoking, and possible use of mood-altering substances. In addition, a number of adult chronic diseases that make their first appearance in the second decade of life should be diagnosed.
