Research on the development of adolescents has made significant progress in the past 10-15 years, but is not yet fully mature. Future research must (a) deepen the recent work in understanding normal adolescent development, particularly among American youth from understudied racial and ethnic minority groups and through more longitudinal studies; (b) balance pressures to implement urgent preventive interventions for adolescents with the need for systematic evaluations that will lead to improvements in these approaches, including those that promote healthy patterns in all adolescents and target clusters of health-compromising behaviors rather than single ones; and (c) identify specific features of the range of settings in which adolescents participate that do or do not foster healthy development.
在过去10到15年里，青少年发展研究取得了重大进展，但尚未完全成熟。未来的研究必须：(a) 深化近期在理解正常青少年发展方面的工作，特别是针对来自研究不足的种族和少数族裔群体的美国青少年，并通过更多纵向研究来进行；(b) 在为青少年实施紧急预防干预措施的压力与进行系统评估的需求之间取得平衡，这些评估将促使这些方法得到改进，包括那些促进所有青少年健康模式以及针对有损健康行为集群而非单一行为的方法；(c) 确定青少年参与的各种环境中促进或不促进健康发展的具体特征。
