Introduction

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.

Workshop Details

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.
