Abstract:

This report explores the health and health care experiences of 2,000 adolescents, ages 13 to 17, surveyed online in May 2001. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, in collaboration with FACCT, conducted this survey to learn from teens about their physical, mental and social well-being and the perceptions and behaviors that promote or threaten their health.
