Paperny (pediatrics, U. of Hawaii) offers a medical handbook for health providers, residents, students, and other practitioners who promote the health and well-being of adolescents and young adults. It focuses on services aimed at the prevention of major health threats facing today's youth and responding to the consequences of behavioral choices like STDs, alcohol and drug abuse, and emotional issues, as well as aspects of medical conditions specific to adolescents, rather than the evaluation and management of routine medical illnesses and diseases. He details aspects of medical and paramedical visits, including interviewing, preventive services guidelines, risk screening, health education, and confidentiality; adolescent growth and development; dermatology, including acne, common conditions, sun exposure and skin cancer, and tattoos and body piercing; chronic disease management for asthma, diabetes, and eating disorders; fatigue and psychosomatic illnesses; psychology and behavior; sexuality and reproductive health; orthopedic conditions and sports; practice management and new technologies; and health promotion.
