The sheer amount of information relevant to promoting adolescent health poses various challenges. Clinically, good patient care requires collaborative efforts among different disciplines, with an overlap of core knowledge that is shared, as well as appreci- ation for the specialized expertise of each professional. Similarly, designing training programs necessitates setting priorities for knowledge and skills for one discipline while drawing from others as well. Advancing our knowledge of adolescent development and care, and disseminating such information, ideally involves familiarity with “ndings and journals in many “elds. One chapter cannot do justice to this broad array of areas. We focus on those unique aspects of adolescence that have particular salience for teenagers• health and health care. Many aspects of health are therefore omitted. For example, while the treatment of psychiatric disorders is clearly impor- tant in adolescence, these mental health needs are not unique to this developmental stage. Similarly, some adolescents re- quire treatment for cancer, heart disease, and a variety of other physical disorders, but such problems are more preva- lent at other ages. This chapter reviews aspects of physical and psychosocial development speci“c to adolescence and their interaction with health care, including major sources of morbidity and mortality, salient areas of health care, and spe- cial services for adolescents. ADOLESCENT DEVELOPMENT AND HEALTH Physical Development The onset of puberty in males is typically signaled by subtle testicular changes at about 11.5 years of age, concomitant with the start of their growth spurt. The average duration of puberty is three years, but it can range from two to “ve years. The growth spurt peaks relatively late at about 14 years, when changes in the genitals and pubic hair are very evident. (For further information regarding physical development, see McAnarney, Kreipe, Orr, & Comerci, 1992; Neinstein, 1996a.) Pubertal development begins earlier in females, with the start of their growth spurt at about 8.7 years, followed by the “rst sign of breast development (breast budding) one year later. Their growth spurt peaks at 11.6 years, well before sig- ni“cant changes in breast and pubic hair and before menarche at about 12.3 years. Major changes in body size and compo- sition therefore occur much earlier in girls than boys, with girls reaching their growth peak at about the same chronolog- ical age as boys begin their adolescent growth spurt. Even among normal adolescents, the timing and duration of puberty vary tremendously and are thus poorly correlated with chronological age. This prompted the development of a rating scale for sexual maturity (Tanner, 1962), based on pubic hair and breasts for females and pubic hair and genitalia in males. For both sexes, the scale ranges from Stage 1 (completely prepubertal) to Stage 5 (adult secondary sexual 466 Adolescent Health characteristics). Adolescent medicine specialists have pro- moted the routine use of Tanner staging. Clinically, a 12-year- old girl at Stage 1 will have very different concerns and health risks than 12-year-old girls at Stage 4 or 5. Tanner staging is also valuable for research purposes. For example, a study of panic attacks among sixth- and seventh- grade girls reported striking differences in the incidence of panic attacks as a function of sexual maturity, but no differences due to chronological age (Hayward, Killen, & Hammer, 1992). Traditionally, Tanner stage is rated by physi- cians and based on physical examination. Fortunately, Litt and her colleagues (Duke, Litt, & Gross, 1980) found that teenagers can rate themselves with considerable accuracy, and this method has been employed in more recent research. While accuracy appears to be more problematic with abnor- mal samples (e.g., adolescents with growth retardation), self- ratings seem to be acceptably reliable and valid with normal populations (see Finkelstein et al., 1999). It is impossible to overemphasize the extent of physical change that occurs during the relatively brief period of pu- berty. Major endocrine changes are associated with the onset of puberty, with three distinct changes in the hypothalamic- pituitary unit and (typically) increased secretion of sex hormones from the adrenal gland. Other changes occur in insulin secretion, growth hormone, and somatomedins. While it seems evident that substantial increases in hormonal levels (especially testosterone) would be related to increased sexual urges and to aggression, the effects on behavior are not yet well understood. What is clear is that teenagers experience major biochemical and skeletal changes during puberty. During childhood (age 5 to 10 years), the average child grows 5 cm to 6 cm per year. In contrast, during the average adolescent growth spurt (24 to 36 months), girls grow 23 cm to 28 cm, and boys grow 26 cm to 28 cm taller„a growth rate of 10 cm to 11 cm per year, twice that of childhood. For both genders, pubertal growth accounts for 20% to 25% of “nal adult height. Weight growth is even more dramatic, account- ing for about 50% of ideal adult body weight. Other physical changes accompany rapid increase in height and weight. Adolescents grow in a concentric fashion, with their extremities (heads, hands, and feet) reaching adult size “rst, followed by their limbs and “nally their torsos. This accounts for the •ganglyŽ appearance of many teenagers, who seem to be •all arms and legs.Ž Teenagers also experi- ence signi“cant changes in body composition. Percentage of body fat changes from about 15% in prepubertal girls (comparable to that of prepubertal boys) to 27% by Tanner Stage 4, along with pelvic remodeling and the emergence of breasts and hips. In contrast, lean body mass increases in boys to about 90% at maturity, largely re”ecting in- creased muscle mass. During puberty, boys also experience a sevenfold increase in the size of the testes, epididymis, and prostate, while the phallus usually doubles in size. Given these signi“cant changes in body size and shape, adolescent medicine clinicians joke that young teenagers are obsessed with their hair because it is the only part of their bodies that they recognize from one month to the next. Indeed, it is re- markable that adolescents are able to remain suf“ciently coordinated to be able to play a variety of sports. Spermarche, the onset of seminal emission, appears to be an early pubertal event for boys (median age 13.4 years) al- though there is considerable variation (range 11.7 to 15.3). It precedes peak height velocity in most boys and may occur with no evidence of pubic hair development. Some sperm are usually present in the ejaculate by Tanner Stage 3 but fertility is generally not reliable until Tanner Stage 4. Menarche, the onset of a girl•s monthly period, has been studied much more extensively than spermarche, presumably because it is a discrete and salient event unlike the more subtle sexual development of boys. American girls experi- ence menarche at about 12.3 years (with normal variation from 9 to 17 years). A secular trend has been observed over the last century, with a gradual decrease in the age of menar- che both in the United States and in European countries. This decrease is hypothesized to re”ect improved nutrition and appears to have leveled out with little decrease from 1960 to the present. For individual girls, the age of menarche is a function of factors such as race, socioeconomic status, heredity, nutrition, culture, and body composition. For example, menarche tends to occur at a later age in rural families, in larger families, and at higher altitudes. Also, amenorrhea (the absence or cessa- tion of periods) is commonly found among girls who are un- derweight and/or have an unusually low percentage of body fat, such as athletes or ballerinas who train intensively. Despite the apparent stability of the age of menarche, however, there have been reports that the onset of secondary sexual characteristics is occurring at an earlier age for many American girls. After observing breast development in a number of young female patients (age 7 to 9 years), a pedia- trician launched a large study of 17,000 girls. This investiga- tion con“rmed the clinical observation, and it does appear probable that American girls are developing secondary sex- ual characteristics at an earlier age than they did in the 1960s, even through the age of menarche remains unchanged (Herman-Giddens et al., 1997). This “nding has prompted in- tense speculation regarding the reason for the change, with the most popular culprit hypothesized to be the increased fat in the American diet: It may be that even mild obesity is pro- viding the trigger for very early sexual development. Alterna- tive hypotheses focus on environmental changes, including increased hormones in milk and other animal products Adolescent Development and Health 467 TABLE 20.1 Developmental Tasks of Adolescence Gain independence from family. Expand relationships outside home: Other adults. Same-sex peers. Opposite-sex peers. Have realistic self-image. Handle sexual drives. Concrete to abstract thought. Develop value system. Make realistic plan for social and economic stability. (see Lemonick, 2000). Whatever its origin, this physical trend prompts concern among both parents and health profes- sionals regarding the potential impact on girls• psychosocial development. Psychosocial Development The developmental period of life that we term adolescence is somewhat elastic in its boundaries, but generally includes children from 12 to 20 years of age. It is bounded by biology at one end (the onset of puberty) and by social and legal con- ventions at the other end (the age when one is considered an adult). For individual children, the perception that they have entered adolescence may be triggered by their own pubertal changes or by changes evident in their peers, hence the lack of a clear-cut boundary. The end point is also unclear, with American children being considered suf“ciently adult to drive at age 16, vote at age 18, and drink only at age 21 (de- pending on the state where they live). Transition times also vary in health care settings, with pediatric services typically including age 12 to 20 (except for college health) while psy- chiatric services designed for adolescents are generally unavailable after their eighteenth birthday. Adolescents have a number of developmental tasks to accomplish during this relatively brief period of life (see Table 20.1). They must learn to function as independent adults, separate from their families, while not severing ties to the family. They also become increasingly oriented to oth- ers outside the family as they develop signi“cant relation- ships with other adults (e.g., teachers, coaches) and with peers of both sexes. Their self-image is consolidated and incorpo- rates their sexual identity (e.g., What does it mean to be a woman? How am I the same as, and different from, a man?). Self-image includes body image, which many believe is crystallized during adolescence.A host of new sensations and feelings emerge, and adolescents must come to terms with their sex drives and determine how to manage them. The transition from concrete operations to formal operations not only paves the way for learning higher order mathematics and other abstractconcepts,but also providesadolescentswith new tools and interests as they increasingly contemplate their own lives and the human condition. Finally, adolescents need to develop a plan for their future, establishing a direction, goals, and appropriate training for a career. This is a daunting list of tasks to accomplish in eight years, reinforcing the traditional, psychoanalytic view of adolescence as a tumultuous, troubled time of life. Yet, a con- siderable amount of more recent data (Offer, Ostrov, & Howard, 1981) reports that about 75% to 80% of teenagers experience adolescence as a positive and pleasant period of life. How do adolescents manage this, with so many develop- mental tasks to accomplish? One reason is that many of these tasks are not begun de novo in adolescence. For example, children have been gain- ing increased independence throughout childhood as they learn to feed and dress themselves, choose preferred activi- ties, stay overnight at a friend•s house, and go away to camp. In a study of 483 children and adolescents, Larson and Richards (1991) reported that the amount of time children spend with their families decreases from about 50% at Grade 5 to about 25% at Grade 9. While this is a considerable decrease, it is not an all-to-none change. Similarly, many aspects of self-image have been developed by the end of childhood, and preadolescents can identify their assets and weaknesses. The task in adolescence is to re“ne this self- image and to incorporate sexual identity. Finally, develop- ment continues past the age of 20 as the completion of adolescent tasks continues in young adulthood. Another reason adolescents manage their developmental tasks with relative ease is that they focus on different issues at different times, reducing the number that they must address simultaneously.As Table20.2 shows, developmental theorists divide adolescence into different periods: preadolescence and early, middle, and late adolescence. Note that boys• progress TABLE 20.2 Focus of Development at Different Stages of Adolescence Age Grade Developmental Focus Preadolescence: Females: 9…11 years 5…7 Same-sex peers Males: 10…12 years Early adolescence: Females: 11…13 years 6…8 Independence Males: 12…14 years Same-sex peers Body image Abstract thought Middle adolescence: Females: 13…16 years 7…10 Opposite-sex peers Males: 14…17 years Sexual drives Sexual identity Morality Late adolescence: Females: 16…20 years 11… Vocational plans Males: 17…20 years College Intimacy 468 Adolescent Health through these phases lags behind that of girls, just as with physical development. One major focus during early adolescence is the desire for increased independence from family, combined with a rapid rise in the importance of peers. Need for conformity with peers peaks in preadolescence and early adolescence, fol- lowed by a gradual decline through late adolescence. Such conformity includes dress, hairstyle, music, and language. Abrupt changes in these areas can startle parents as they see their child turn into someone they barely recognize. Yet this new orientation toward peers (versus family) does not repre- sent a total transformation. Young teenagers certainly re- spond to peer in”uence, especially that of same-sex peers, in areas where they (probably correctly) perceive that their par- ents will not be knowledgeable about what constitutes •coolŽ clothing, •inŽ music, and appropriate patterns of interaction with same- and opposite-sex peers. However, they typically respond to parental in”uence regarding educational plans and aspirations, moral and social values, and understanding the adult world. For example, one large-scale study of two groups of boys (blue-collar versus upper middle class) in Chicago revealed that each group•s values and expectations were more similar to those of their parents than they were to their peers in the other socioeconomic group (Youniss & Smollar, 1989). Another major focus during early adolescence is body image, hardly surprising given the massive physical changes that occur during this time. Young teenagers evidence intense interest in and often dissatisfaction with speci“c parts of their bodies. A classic study (Douvan & Adelson, 1966) asked sev- enth graders what one aspect of themselves or their lives they would change if they could, and 59% selected a speci“c body part. This suggests that disease, illness, trauma, or even devi- ations in normal development, which have obvious physical consequences, will pose even more psychological challenges for young adolescents than for older teenagers. Another implication is that it is particularly important for young adolescents to receive detailed feedback during routine phys- ical examinations, reassuring them that their physical devel- opment is proceeding normally and encouraging them to express concerns and questions that almost certainly are present but which they often are too embarrassed to raise spontaneously. The developmental focus shifts in mid-adolescence be- cause most teenagers begin to date between the ages of 13 to 15, with the onset of dating being in”uenced by gender and social status. With increasing interaction with the opposite sex, teenagers concentrate on sexual identity, dating behav- ior, communication skills, and rules for interaction with peers of both sexes. These early relationships are often brief and shallow, with physical appearance and skills playing a major role in choice of partner. The transition to abstract thought, which has typically occurred during early adolescence, paves the way for new cognitive activity in mid-adolescence. It is generally during this time that adolescents display increased interest in ab- stract concepts and even thinking per se; one teenager in- formed the author that •I•m thinking about the fact that I•m thinking about the fact that I•m thinking.Ž Morality, justice, and fairness become a focus, both regarding teenagers them- selves (and those who inhabit their world) and society in gen- eral. Teenagers in mid-adolescence thus often devote time and thought to rules and laws (school and national), social structure, and systems of government. To address the “rst major task of late adolescence, teenagers begin to focus seriously on career plans, which often are unstable until the age of 16. By 17, most adoles- cents have at least established an initial direction for their future career and made plans to implement appropriate edu- cation and training to achieve these goals. However, com- pleting such training and alteration in career goals often continues throughout young adulthood. The second major task of late adolescence is development of intimacy in personal relationships, especially with an opposite-sex partner. Older teenagers focus on different as- pects of dating, moving beyond external appearance, as they develop true sharing and caring. Establishing a personal sup- port system of friends, partner, and meaningful adults (e.g., teacher or boss) is as important as economics in allowing teenagers to function separately from their families. The developmental task of independence from family is thus frequently not fully completed until well after adolescence. Interaction of Physical and Psychosocial Development Timing of Puberty The onset of puberty occurs at a mean age of 11.2 years for girls and 11.6 years for boys with evident physical changes at mean ages of 12.2 years and 12.9 years. Because of the tremendous variability present among normally developing adolescents, however, visual evidence of puberty (Tanner Stage 3) can range from age 10.1 to 14.3 (girls) and 10.8 to 15 (boys). These age ranges are within two standard deviations from the mean and considered medically normal. Extreme delay or precocity (2 standard deviations above or below the mean) requires medical evaluation to determine potential hy- pothalamic, pituitary, or gonadal dysfunction; undiagnosed chronic illness; or chromosomal abnormality (see •Special ConditionsŽ in a following section). However, even teenagers Adolescent Development and Health 469 who do not meet medical criteria for abnormality may appear very different from the majority of their peers: girls who still have completely prepubertal bodies at the age of 13 or who are fully developed before the age of 12, and boys who are still prepubertal at 15 or appear fully adult by the age of 12.5 (references are to Tanner Stage 1 versus Tanner Stage 5; see •Physical DevelopmentŽ). Adolescents who are in the lowest 10% to 15% and the highest 10% to 15% of this distribution are considered to be early versus late maturers, normal variations of development that most likely re”ect their genetic inheritance. A series of classic studies beginning in the 1950s (see Conger & Galambos, 1997) found that early maturation provided a psy- chosocial advantage for boys, who more often took leadership roles andwere perceived by teachers and peers as more mature and responsiblethan boys maturing •on time.ŽIn contrast,late maturing boys were more likely to act •the class clown,Žwere perceived as being more immature and self-conscious by teachers and peers, and were less likely to be popular or to be leaders. Nottelmann et al. (1987) con“rmed that adolescent adjustment problems were more common for late-maturing boys, and Crockett and Petersen (1987) report a linear rela- tionship between timing of puberty and self-esteem. These differences are hypothesized to re”ect the fact that early maturing boys are taller, heavier, and more muscular, all of which are advantageous for sports (an asset highly prized by peers at this age) and makes them closer in size to girls of the same age. Also, their more adult appearance pre- sumably encourages adults and peers to treat them differ- ently, giving them more responsibility and turning more to them for assistance. Analogously, late-maturing boys cannot •throw their weight around,Ž both literally and “guratively, to the same extent. In a longitudinal follow-up, which continued through age 38, men whohadmatured early retainedtheir psychosocial advantage (Livson & Peskin, 1980). As adults, early maturing males were found to be more responsible, cooperative, socia- ble, and self-contained(althoughlate maturers werenottotally without assets, being moreinsightfuland creatively playful).It is important to note that this advantageous effect was main- tained despite the fact that, on the average, late-maturing boys eventually attain greater adult height than early maturing boys because they continue to grow at a childhood rate before be- ginning their growthspurt; little additionalgrowth occurs after the conclusion of the growth spurt. Greater height clearly pro- vides a psychosocial advantage for American males and yet the advantage of early maturation appears to outweigh the ad- vantage of greater height in adulthood for late maturers. The evidence regarding female development is mixed, with some reports that both extremes are disadvantageous, especially for early maturing girls (Susman et al., 1985), while other studies report no substantial effects for girls (Nottelmann et al., 1987). Simmons, Blyth, and McKinney (1983) report that pubertal status appears problematic when it places a girl in a different or deviant position from her peers. The impact of early or late puberty may well vary as a function of a girl•s socioeconomic status and the degree of tolerance and acceptance of her appearance within her social environment. From a psychosocial standpoint, early physical matura- tion is advantageous for American boys whereas the ideal for girls is to mature exactly at the average time and rate. How- ever, adolescents cannot design the nature of their pubertal development, leaving late-maturing boys (especially) and early maturing girls at potential risk for adjustment problems and dif“culties with peer status and body image. In addition to appearing unusually immature, late-maturing boys have a disadvantage in addressing their developmental tasks: It is dif“cult to incorporate one•s new sexuality in self-image or body image until one has developed some degree of sexual maturity, or learn to handle sexual drives before they are ex- perienced. These developmental issues are delayed and thus add to the number of tasks that must be addressed simultane- ously at a later chronological age. Late maturers do not have the same option as other teenagers to focus sequentially on different developmental tasks and thus face an additional challenge. In the absence of data to guide intervention, clinical experience suggests that even brief therapy can be helpful for late-maturing boys. Goals for treatment include (a) de- veloping skills that are valued by peers (e.g., sports that are less dependent on size, computer skills, and video games), (b) participating in organized activities (e.g., Scouts) where leadership responsibilities (based on abilities rather than appearance) are conferred by adults, and (c) enhancing so- cial skills, especially with peers. With early-maturing girls, publicity regarding the increasing incidence of early devel- opment (Lemonick, 2000) has prompted increased attention to the plight of girls with clear outward evidence of sexual maturity at ages 6, 7, and 8. Endocrinologists are increas- ingly more reluctant to slow development with hormone therapy, as they did previously with girls under 8, leaving young girls with bodies that are considered normal med- ically but which are obviously very different from their peers. In this case, goals for therapy include (a) parents remaining alert to potential sexual harassment and abuse, (b) promoting the choice of clothing, books, music, and activities that are appropriate for a girl•s chronological age, (c) developing skills and talents that are unrelated to physi- cal appearance, (d) enhancing social skills with female 470 Adolescent Health peers, and (e) strengthening relationships with family and female friends. Body Image Considerable evidence indicates that American girls in gen- eral are less satis“ed with their bodies than are boys (with weight satisfaction being the largest gap) and that boys•satis- faction increases with age while girls• does not. In fact, gender differences in depression were virtually eliminated by controlling for negative body image and low self-esteem in a study of White high school students (Allgood-Merten, Lewinsohn, & Hops, 1990). In general, body image affects overall self-image and self-esteem, especially for girls. A report by the American Association of University Women (AAUW, 1992) found that con“dence in •the way I lookŽ was the most important contributor to self-worth among White schoolgirls whereas boys more often based self-worth on their abilities. Results of a multiethnic study of 877 adolescents in Los Angeles (Siegel, Yancey, Aneshengel, & Schuler, 1999) sug- gest that body image and even the impact of pubertal timing vary considerably as a function of both gender and ethnicity. Asian American boys and girls reported similar levels of body satisfaction whereas boys were more satis“ed than girls for all other ethnic groups of teenagers. Overall, African American girls had the most positive body image and, in sharp contrast to the other ethnic groups, were not dissatis“ed with their bodies if they perceived themselves as being early maturers. As with African American boys, African American girls were least satis“ed with their bodies if they perceived themselves as late developers. Given that boys• body image improves with age, that Asian American girls appear less concerned about physical appearance than girls in other eth- nic groups, and that African American girls have a relatively positive body image, the authors conclude that the most problematic teenagers are White and Hispanic girls, both of whom evidence dissatisfaction with their body image, which becomes increasingly negative with age. Special Conditions Gynecomastia is a benign increase in male breast tissue asso- ciated with puberty, not the fatty tissue often seen with obese patients. It is found in about 20% of 10.5-year old boys, with a peak prevalence of 65% at age 14 (mean age of onset is 13.2). About 4% of boys will have severe gynecomastia, with very evident, protruding breasts, that persists into adulthood. Gynecomastia is thought to result from an imbalance between circulating estrogens and androgens, thus representing a normal concomitant of hormonal change during puberty. The condition usually resolves in 12 to 18 months but can last for more than two years. Given that more than half of adolescent boys experience this condition, and at a developmental stage when concerns about their bodies and relationships with their peers are at a lifetime peak, it is remarkable that so little data are available regarding psychological impact and treatment. Clinical experience indicates that many young adolescent boys are seriously concerned about their breast development and its implications for their sexual development and identity, often prompting them to avoid sports or other activities that require them to remove their shirts. At a minimum, explanation and reassurance is required. Medical intervention is limited, largely due to concern about side effects, but Tamoxifen (es- pecially) and Testolactone may provide relief for adolescents with signi“cant psychological sequelae. Surgery is another useful option for boys with moderate to severe gynecomastia or in cases where the condition has not resolved after an extended period of time. Surgery may not be an option, how- ever, for many boys because it is considered to be cosmetic surgery and not generally covered by health insurance. Abnormal maturational delay is de“ned statistically as those 5% of teenagers who fall at least two standard devia- tions above the mean onset of puberty. Physical examination and laboratory tests are employed to screen for a variety of disorders that may cause delay: hormonal de“ciencies (in- cluding growth hormone), chromosomal abnormalities, and chronic illness (e.g., cystic “brosis, sickle cell anemia, heart disease, or in”ammatory bowel disease), which may be undi- agnosed. In some cases, medical intervention can promote catch-up growth and sexual development but the effects are irreversible in most cases. However, 90% to 95% of delayed puberty represents constitutional delay rather than an under- lying disease or abnormality. Neinstein and Kaufman (1996) report (anecdotally) that it is, not surprisingly, most often male adolescents who com- plain about delayed puberty. Treatment with hormones often can increase growth velocity without excessive bone age ad- vancement, but potential side effects, such as the possible attenuation of mature height, must be considered. It is not only psychological sequelae that are of concern. Adult men with a history of constitutionally delayed puberty have de- creased radial and spinal bone mineral density, suggesting that the timing of sexual maturation may determine peak bone mineral density (Finkelstein, Neer, & Biller, 1992). Delayed menstruation (primary amenorrhea) is de“ned as the absence of spontaneous uterine bleeding and secondary sex characteristics by age 14 to 15, or by 16 to 16.5 regardless of the presence of secondary sex characteristics. Such delay [...]...
