    AbstractIn order to impact morbidity and mortality of adolescents, the health care provider must not only determine the risk status of the teenager but also take time to provide appropriate guidance and interventions. We have developed the West Virginia University Adolescent Risk Score, which is more inclusive than similar screening techniques and requires an 8 +/- 3-minute interview. This format facilitates specific guidance, provides documentation of risk status, and is readily accessible on future visits. Our data provide the basis for planning and research regarding the effectiveness of interventions.
