title = "Vaccination: An Opportunity to Enhance Early Adolescent Preventative Services",
abstract = "New vaccines are being developed that will be recommended for adolescents Adolescence is a time period when adolescent-parent dynamics change and when adolescents may be confronted with increasing opportunities to engage in risk-taking behaviors such as sexual behavior and substance use. Despite clear recommendations regarding preventative counseling, many adolescents do not receive adequate preventive care. In this manuscript, we provide suggestions as to how a new vaccination schedule can be used to enhance preventative services to both adolescents and their parents.",

note = "Funding Information: To decrease the likelihood that adolescents will engage in health-compromising behaviors, several organizations have developed comprehensive guidelines for health care providers to use to promote health-enhancing behaviors among their adolescent patients. Among the best known is the American Medical Association Guidelines for Adolescent Preventative Services (GAPS) published in 1992 [9] . Another well-known program, Bright Futures, was developed under the direction of the Maternal and Child Health Bureau and funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [10] . Published in 1994, the program includes guidelines for the health supervision of children including adolescents. Both programs subscribe to an evidence-based system of annual visits focusing on screenings and health guidance for both youth and their parents, and routine health screening and guidance for adolescents is endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
