Society for Adolescent Medicine Meeting to Focus on 'E-Teens' and How Adolescents Incorporate Technology and Health
Date:3/17/2009

coptering" can be to a student, whether students resent their parents' behavior, what topics kids talk about with their parents and when a parent's behavior crosses the line from being involved to being embarrassing. Also discussed will be how care providers can encourage parents to be involved at a level beneficial to them and their kids.

Another topic being addressed in this venue is adolescent and young adults returning from military service. About half of the enlisted U.S. military personnel are under 25 years old. This population has unique needs such as injury evaluation, psychosocial screening and mental health issues because of their military service. "To Iraq and Back; How Can We Help Those Returning?" will examine the military health system's efforts to examine the mental health issues facing our young military population from an adolescent and young adult perspective. Care providers will be reminded that service members and their families would benefit from routine screening for health risk behaviors while keeping deployment cycles in mind.

The session "Preventing Animal House: The Quaker Bouncers" deals with students helping other students limit alcohol consumption on college campuses. Annually, more than 1,400 college age students die from alcohol-related injuries and 1.1 million more students are injured. At Haverford College in Pennsylvania, the "Quaker Bouncers" train students to be non-threatening monitors at social events, including campus parties and concerts, and to act as liaisons between students, school administration and campus security. This student-run organization provides a trained, reliable, and sober presence at student parties. SAM members will examine the "Quaker Bouncers" as a role model for other programs around the country to get students involved in making campus life safer for themselves and their peers.
