Youth Health is the range of approaches to preventing, detecting or treating young people’s health and well being (WHO, 2001). The term adolescent and young people are often used interchangeably, as are the terms Adolescent Health and Youth Health. Young people’s health is often complex and requires a comprehensive, biopsychosocial approach (NSW Dept of Health, 2010). ==Key Health Services for Young People== Youth Health includes adolescent medicine as a speciality, along with other primary and tertiary care services. Key health services for young people: *Adolescent medicine *Child protection *Drug and Alcohol services and Youth Drug courts *General practitioners *Justice Health *Mental Health services *Psychology *School health services *Sexual health services *Social work *Transition care *Youth health nursing *Youth health services *Youth work and youth development services ^Youth Attitudes *Web based supports such as Reach Out! Capacity building organisations support the Youth Health sector by providing access to information and resources, conducting research and providing training. Youth health services ('one-stop-shops' for young people) are specialist services providing multi-disciplinary, primary health care to young people. Focusing on engaging disadvantaged young people, they deliver flexible and unique services to young people in relaxed and comfortable youth-friendly environments. Youth health services work in partnership with other government and non-government services. Youth health services provide a range of entry-points and non-threatening services (such as creative arts, basic services such as showers and laundries, a drop in service, sports and recreational facilities), which encourage young people to connect with the service on their own terms. They also provide informal links to other support services and sectors including education, housing, financial support and legal services, offering support to young people who are dealing with complex issues. Youth health services understand the need to respond immediately to young people’s requests for support and assistance and they share a common operating philosophy, which values social justice, equity, and a holistic view of young people’s health and well being. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Youth health」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
