Summary Current policies treat adolescent risk behaviours as separate problems requiring separate solutions, ignoring the overlap of many risk behaviours. This text seeks to move beyond the fractured approach of preventing one kind of behaviour at a time and suggests more comprehensive prevention strategies.
