Abstrakt: Survey and group work was carried out to inform a trial of teenage health promotion consultations in general practice and identify current provision in general practice of health promotion for teenagers, and their needs and preferences. Although 83 per cent of general practitioners thought primary care an appropriate setting for health promotion. only 17 per cent currently provided services specifically for teenagers. Ninety-five per cent of the teenagers reported that they would like to receive health behaviour advice from their general practice doctor or nurse. Results of teenage group meetings held to discuss how best to develop a consultation service are reported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
