Abstract:
The Code Blue report, recently issued by a distinguished panel formed by national medical and educational associations, paints a dire picture of the state of adolescent health and recommends far-reaching measures to reverse "dangerous trends." However, analysis of the report's findings reveals serious flaws in its presentation of nearly every youth problem cited, and its recommendations are much less original and workable than portrayed. A more moderate and positive approach toward youth problems is suggested.
