Abstract

Current research is beginning to suggest that the descriptive knowledge base of adolescent risk behaviour is not conceptually based and is inadequate to sufficiently inform a comprehensive assessment of adolescent health and risk. The aim of this paper is to contribute towards the knowledge of adolescent risk behaviour. Building on a developmental perspective, links between health risk behaviour and the socialisation process in adolescence are discussed, and developmental functions and characteristics of risk behaviour are thereby investigated in light of a psychosocial stress model. An integrative model of adolescent problem handling is proposed that distinguishes three different forms of risk behaviour: externalisation, internalisation, and evasive risk behaviours. These are further elaborated on the basis of results from the latest World Health Organization Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study. Finally, conclusions for future research and health-promoting strategies are given.
