Abstract:
This study describes the 12,414 health care problems of 3,657 adolescent patients visiting 12 family practices over a one-year period. Age-sex distribution, visiting patterns and all categories of morbidity are described for patients between 13 and 20 years of age. Significant sex differences and differences among early, middle and late adolescents are also described. The results of this study have important implications for the training of nurse practitioners. Traditionally, nurse adolescent patients in their clinical setting to determine what conditions they learn about. This paper proposes the need for a competency-based curriculum and offers a list of topics to form the core of such a curriculum.
