This chapter focuses on some of the laws and regulations that could make it easier for adolescents to adopt health-promoting and disease-preventing behaviors, or that have minimized the dangers that might be caused by their behaviors. It also reviews some of the aspects of health care systems that may present barriers to health-promoting behaviors and suggests how they might be changed.
