The State of Adolescent Health in Wisconsin

"The Milwaukee Adolescent Health Program has become a resource for health care providers in other parts of Wisconsin. The State of
Adolescent Health in Wisconsin
takes an in-depth look at certain risky behaviors among adolescents, explores the health-related
issues of Wisconsin's youth, and identifies populations with specific needs or problems."

The report presents data relevant to understanding the present state of adolescent health in Wisconsin by taking a more in-depth look at certain risky behaviors among adolescents. The report concentrates on 17 of Wisconsin's 72 counties, selected because they have either a large population of youth, or a high proportation of youth relative to the total county population.Of the 17 counties identified, the Brighter Futures Inititiative is placed in four of the counties, including: Milwaukee, Douglas, Racine, and Kenosha.
