A Book Useful for Promotion of Adolescent Health

Abstract

The WHO has defined health as – ‘the state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity’, and we, the members of Indian Association for Adolescent Health who have undertaken the mission of promotion of health of the youth and adolescent of our country are responsible to accomplish this task adopting all possible healthy means. As a matter of professional ethics, all missionaries of adolescent health promotion work, thus, need to remain proactive to ensure complete wellbeing of the youth and the adolescent in our society. As it implies, besides other things, we need to explore different ways and make use of different resources to achieve our mission. And in this, a literature too works as an effective tool, because a good literature bears such valuable elements of moral teachings that makes it capable of enriching societal culture and in turn, promotion of the health of the youth and adolescent. Therefore, an effective and suitable literature search is required so that it can be made available to our youth and adolescents.
