Review

"This is a timely topic...One advantage of their presentation is that contributions were garnered from well-regarded scholars who share findings from sophisticated research programs. Another advantage is the inclusion of research on the oft neglected transition from late adolescence to early adulthood. Researchers and practitioners should find the volume useful in designing future studies, prevention programs, or interventions aimed at understanding and promoting positive physical and mental health among adolescents."
