In these societies the term adolescence typically refers to the period between ages 12 and 20 and is roughly equivalent to the word teens. To help teens and young adults with their complex physical, behavioral, and emotional health care needs from physical exams and immunizations to reproductive and mental health care”, said Dr. M. Shanthi. She also said that due to lack of accurate information, absence of proper guidance, parent’s ignorance, lack of skills and insufficient services from health care delivery system are the major barriers.
