AB Psychological,  physical,  and  social-role  changes—shaped  by  social  determinants  and  by  other  risk  and  protective  factors—affect  behavior  during  adolescence.  Adolescence  is  a  time  of  navigating  new  social  challenges  and  adjusting  to  physical,  cognitive,  and  emotional  changes.  Given  the  strong  association  between  pubertal  maturation  and  a  wide  array  of  social,  behavioral,  and  emotional  changes  during  adolescence,  the  psychosocial  effects  and  opportunities  associated  with  puberty  are  first  briefly  reviewed.  This  is  followed  by  a  discussion  of  psychological/psychosocial  development  during  the  stages  of  adolescence/young  adulthood  and,  finally,  an  overview  of  changes  in  the  social/environmental  context  during  adolescence,  with  a  primary  focus  on  the  healthcare  system.
