Youth Health is the range of approaches to preventing, detecting or treating young people’s health and well being (WHO, 2001). The term adolescent and young people are often used interchangeably, as are the terms Adolescent Health and Youth Health.
Young people’s health is often complex and requires a comprehensive, biopsychosocial approach (NSW Dept of Health, 2010).

Famous quotes containing the words youth and/or health:
“Now all the youth of England are on fire,
And silken dalliance in the wardrobe lies.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We have two kinds of “conference.” One is that to which the office boy refers when he tells the applicant for a job that Mr. Blevitch is “in conference.” This means that Mr. Blevitch is in good health and reading the paper, but otherwise unoccupied. The other type of “conference” is bona fide in so far as it implies that three or four men are talking together in one room, and don’t want to be disturbed.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
