In response to a question by Karyn Pomerantz on "advocacy and the Internet",
Dennis Raphael has sent two postings.

Unfortunately both postings had something in them that caused them to not be
posted.  I believe that the problem is that the messages had a "command"
function in them, in copying the previous message, such as the "To" field,
"Reply" field or "From" field.  My attempt to re-post the first message and
to summarize other unsuccessful postings with similar error messages, led to
my posting being returned.  I have much to learn about working on
list-servs!  So, trying again, here's Dennis' latest response to Karyn's
query.

Abstract

The recent literature on the determinants of adolescent health is reviewed.
Four definitions of adolescent health are presented: successful transition
to
adulthood, successful coping, lack of mortality and morbidity, and healthy
behaviours
and risk avoidance.  The review of determinants of health is presented
within a
framework focused upon adolescent characteristics, aspects of adolescents'
immediate
environments, and adolescents' ongoing activities and aspirations. An
expanded framework which considers societal and structural factors and
adolescent
health is considered and a proposed research agenda presented.
