This article examines selected findings regarding the consequences of difference in timing of pubertal onset in order to build an explanatory model of puberty in context. We also seek to shed light on possible prevention efforts targeting adolescent risk. To date, there is substantial evidence supporting early onset effects on both internalizing and externalizing problems during the adolescent decade and possibly beyond. However, such effects do not directly speak to preventive intervention. The biological, familial, and broader relationship contexts of puberty are considered along with unique contexts for early maturing girls versus boys. Finally, we identify potential strategies for intervention based on these explanatory models.
本文探讨了青春期开始时间差异的后果的一些发现，以便在背景下构建一个解释青春期的模型。我们还试图阐明针对青少年风险的可能预防措施。迄今为止，有大量证据支持青春期早期对青少年期及以后内外问题的影响。然而，这些影响并不能直接说明预防干预的效果。本文考虑了青春期的生物学、家庭和更广泛的关系背景，以及早成熟女孩与男孩的独特背景。最后，我们根据这些解释模型确定了潜在的干预策略。
