Adolescent Decision Making: Implications for Prevention Programs: Summary of a Workshop

Board on Children, Youth, and Families,Commission on Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education,Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education,National Research Council and Institute of Medicine,National Academy of Sciences

Interest in the role that decision making plays in adolescents’ involvement in high-risk behaviors led the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Planning and Evaluation of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to request the Board on Children, Youth, and Families to convene a workshop on adolescent decision making. The Board on Children, Youth, and Families is a joint activity of the National Research Council (NRC) and the Institute of Medicine. A workshop was held on January 6-7, 1998, to examine what is known about adolescents’ decision-making skills and the implications of that knowledge for programs to further their healthy development.
