Focusing on a range of both health-compromising and health-enhancing behaviors, including problem drinking, marijuana use, risky driving, and early sexual experience as well as regular exercise and healthy diet, these writings advance understanding of the role of health behavior in adolescence and adolescent development. Chapters illustrate the relevance of the theory and of its interdisciplinary approach for research on behavioral health in adolescence and for the design of prevention\/intervention programs to promote healthy development. In addition, the book's comparative studies of U.S. and Chinese youth reveal the generality of the theory across societal and national differences.\u003cbr\u003eTopics featured in this book include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol use and problem drinking in adolescent health and development.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsychosocial research on marijuana use.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstanding early initiation of sexual intercourse in adolescence.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmoking behavior in adolescence and young adulthood. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelopmental change in risky driving.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealthy eating and regular exercise in adolescent health and development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ci\u003eProblem Behavior Theory and Adolescent Health\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-have resource for researchers, professors, clinicians, and related professionals as well as graduate students in developmental and health psychology, sociology, criminology, criminal justice, public health, and related disciplines.","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45279905448087,"sku":"9783319846279","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783319846279.webp?v=1769294870","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/problem-behavior-theory-and-adolescent-health-the-collected-works-of-richard-jessor-volume-2-9783319846279","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
