One
in five adolescents have special healthcare needs; one in 10 face limitations to
daily activities due to chronic illness or disability. Taken alongside the
ever-changing societal landscape and the multifaceted psychological aspects of
adolescence, these statistics underline the need to recognise adolescents and
young adults as a distinct patient population with unique healthcare needs.
This Monograph addresses this need. Opening with chapters that discuss
health inequalities, adolescent psychology and treatment adherence, the book

adolescent subjects. Readers will find this Monograph a useful and
interesting insight into adolescent health.
