Abstract:
Adolescents living in America suffer the triple burden of a disproportionate representation among the poor, a major conflict of developmental challenges and poverty-related challenges, and, frequently, additional challenges accompanying a minority heritage. At the same time, these individuals and the communities in which they live enjoy many strengths. This chapter reviews these and related issues.
