During the transition from childhood to adulthood, kids and adolescents establish patterns of behavior and make lifestyle choices that affect both their current and future health. Adolescents and young adults are adversely affected by serious health and safety issues such as motor vehicle crashes, violence, substance use, and sexual behavior. They also struggle to adapt behaviors that could decrease their risk of developing chronic diseases in adulthood—behaviors such as eating nutritiously, engaging in physical activity, and choosing not to use tobacco. Environmental factors such as family, peer group, school, and community characteristics also contribute to the challenges that adolescents face. To have the most positive impact on adolescent health, LiveWisely 2020 clubs work adults and in a comprehensive approach. We also help them to create action plans which provides a valuable motivation. top Can adolescent and teens actually change their behavior and adopt healthy lifestyles? Absolutely. Many kids have behavioral patterns that can be turned around. With a little TLC, education and training they are able to change their lives by changing their attitudes and behaviors. top |
