Homosexuality is among the most complex and controversial issues of adolescent health care. Although homosexual activity is common during adolescence, the prevalence and origins of homosexuality per se are poorly understood. Homosexual identity formation is a potentially tumultuous process that begins in childhood and extends through adulthood. The adolescent's experiences may ultimately contribute to a variety of physical and mental health problems. The sociological, psychological, and medical issues are considered, and guidelines for the care of homosexual youths are proposed.
同性恋是青少年医疗保健中最复杂和最具争议性的问题之一。虽然同性恋行为在青少年时期很常见，但同性恋本身的患病率和起源却知之甚少。同性恋身份认同的形成是一个潜在的动荡过程，始于童年并贯穿成年期。青少年的经历最终可能导致各种身心健康问题。本文考虑了社会学、心理学和医学问题，并提出了照顾同性恋青少年的指导方针。
