“

... Most useful as a resource for high school health classes...Liberally illustrated with lots of sidebars, a glossary, index & suggestions for further reading or additional info... • The text includes lots of first-person narratives from teens who have encountered the problems discussed–this adds an immediacy and relevance to what is otherwise fairly dry material full of facts and figures.
