Meeting the needs of young adults.

A P McCauley1, C Salter, K Kiragu, J Senderowitz.   

Abstract

As they mature and become sexually active, more young people face serious health risks. Most face these risks with too little factual information, too little guidance about sexual responsibility, and too little access to health care. Meeting young adults' diverse needs challenges parents, communities, health care providers, and educators. Despite urgent needs, program efforts have been slight and slowed by controversy.
