IYD Announces Adolescent and Family Health Journal

The Institute for Youth Development is pleased to announce the introduction
of Adolescent & Family Health, a new peer-reviewed journal exploring factors that can help America's young people lead healthy and successful lives. The Journal focuses on the factors that contribute to the adoption or avoidance of adolescent risk behaviors, particularly alcohol, drugs, sex, tobacco, and violence. A&FH will offer studies that relate to families and family change, studies of adolescent health, and studies that combine both of these important themes.

The first four issues of Adolescent and Family Health are complimentary and IYD invites everyone to visit the Journal website, www.afhjournal.org , to register for a subscription and recieve all of the Journal's contents on-line.
