The Science of Adolescent Risk-Taking: Workshop Report (2011)

Most young people are not relatively difficult, not taking actions that endanger themselves or other people, but enter the adulthood with relatively healthy physical fitness and physical fitness. However, there are many unhealthy risks that other people experience sex, driving, drug use, criminal acts, mental distress and mental health disorders. For quite a few teenagers, the result is serious. It may limit the opportunities of young people growing as adults, they are the underlying cause of lifelong health problems and cause serious danger of injury and death among young people.

Many adolescent dangerous behaviors, especially poor use of alcohol or illegal substances, or crime also risk others, all of which make prevention of adolescent risk behavior an important public health problem I will. Driving dangerous young people well represents the seriousness of public health problems. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one-third of all deaths in adolescence is due to a car accident, and in 2005 the death tolls for people between the ages of 16 and 19 increased by 4,544, People also died. Teenager crash. These statistics do not record injuries and other damage and do not reflect economic costs - the cost of all crashes of drivers aged 15 to 20 in 2002 was $ 40.8 billion ( US Department of Transportation, 2003)

Researchers have conducted extensive research on the physiological and psychological changes that occur during puberty and the cultural impact of shaping families, colleagues, and the lives of young people in an important way. This evidence, combined with evidence-based practice by health care professionals and other people working with young people, promotes healthy behavior and prevents dangerous behaviors spread at this stage of development, both now and in the future You can lead efforts. The Institute of Medical Research and the National Research Council established the Youth Scientific Committee with the support of Child, Youth and Family Management (ACF) of the Department of Health and Human Services of the United States of America. This is the secretariat secretary general. Plan and Evaluation (ASPE) and the National Institute for Drug Abuse (NIDA) The Committee will hold a series of three public seminars to review youth science in 2008 and 2009.

Some people think that the definition of the development stage is an evolving process and that some researchers need to decide on a new stage of adulthood - the period from physical maturity to economic independence - as its own stage. This seminar series focuses on adolescence as is now generally understood - from the beginning of adolescence to the adulthood or the stage of teens to early twenties from the end of childhood.

Introduction Although health risks vary according to the life cycle of individuals, one of the reasons is that young people are at a higher risk than adults and young children (Taylor & Sirois, 2011). The biggest threat to adolescent health is due to the fact that adolescent crime rate, car accident, violence, drug and alcohol abuse, and the behavior that affects sexual risk are higher than all other age groups Proven Dana) and Steinberg, 2005). - One of the most challenging developmental periods in human life is adolescence. During this time, individuals experience various physiological and psychological changes. Not only that, individuals experience various emotions. The brain develops rapidly with respect to emotional and social cognitive functions (Blakemore & Choudhury, 2006; Giedd, 2004; Giedd et al., 1999; Paus, Keshevan, Giedd, 2008; Sowell et al., 2003).

Teenage adventure is one of the most important problems in current adolescent research. The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of adolescents and adults about adolescent adventure. Due to the moderate socioeconomic background from Ankara from Turkey, a total of 10 adults, aged from 16 to 19 and aged 40 to 50, were interviewed. Definitions and examples of risk-taking for adults and adolescents, and their views on their sources were studied. The interview was transcribed. As a result, it has been shown that young people's perceptions of risk lack a long-term perspective. Because they do not take into account their actions and the outcomes of future results. The adult's perception of adolescence adulthood seems more realistic and the relationship with events in life is more important than that in adolescence. Future research needs to compare the views of the two groups
