This [book] guides the efforts to understand and develop innovative, effective, and culturally sensitive approaches for minority youth populations. /// "Health-Promoting and Health-Compromising Behaviors Among Minority Adolescents" [is intended] not only [for] health psychologists but [for] all clinical and counseling professionals who might treat minority adolescents.
