The number of students enrolling in college is on the rise; however, the number of students dropping out is increasing as well. Given that the transition to attending college poses challenges with independent academic functioning, social adjustment, health behaviors, and lifestyle choices, the purpose of this review is to describe some of the issues that these students will encounter so that pediatricians can help teens who are going to college successfully transition to their new academic, social, and living environment.
Students who have the opportunity to go to college must successfully balance their scholastic commitments and their personal development outside the classroom. Their newfound independence poses several other challenges - obtaining adequate sleep, proper nutrition, and regular exercise as well as risks related to alcohol use, drug use, and sexual activity.
Pediatricians can play an important role by counseling college-bound teens about these common issues, perils and pitfalls. With anticipatory counseling focused on these concerns, pediatricians can help foster the personal growth and social/intellectual development of teenagers to better prepare them for success in college and then later in life.
目的：目前，选择进入大学的学生数量呈上升趋势，但与此同时，高校辍学率也在不断上升。鉴于进入大学的转变对独立的学术能力、社会适应能力、健康行为和生活方式选择都带来了挑战，因此，本综述旨在描述这些学生可能会遇到的一些问题，以便儿科医生能够帮助即将上大学的青少年成功过渡到新的学术、社会和生活环境。
发现：有机会上大学的学生必须平衡好学业和课堂外的个人发展。他们新获得的独立性带来了其他一些挑战，例如获得充足的睡眠、适当的营养和有规律的锻炼，以及与饮酒、吸毒和性行为相关的风险。
总结：儿科医生可以通过为即将上大学的青少年提供有关这些常见问题、危险和陷阱的咨询来发挥重要作用。通过关注这些问题的预期咨询，儿科医生可以帮助促进青少年的个人成长和社会/智力发展，使他们更好地为大学和以后的生活做好成功的准备。
