Peer support and young people's health.

G Turner1.   

Abstract

The health problems that young people experience are largely related to psychological and behavioural factors. Peer-led initiatives have a positive effect on several factors that influence young people's health. Self-esteem, self-efficacy and locus of control are particularly important to young people's health. The particular strengths of peer support and reciprocal peer support in achieving effective health promotion are described. Practical issues about establishing effective and sustainable peer support initiatives are discussed. Copyright 1999 The Association for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
