Abstract	Intended for use by health education professionals, teachers, parents and others interested in the health status and health risk behaviors of young persons in Maine, this report describes the results of three concurrent studies of adolescent health. Data were obtained by written and telephone surveys taken from parents and adolescents in Maine. Focus is placed on preventable health risks among Maine's public high school students and out-of-school adolescents. Results are presented in the following categories: (1) Sexual Behaviors; (2) Alcohol and Drug Use; (3) Tobacco Use; (4) Unintentional Injuries; (5) Violent Behavior; (6) Depression and Suicide; (7) Nutrition and Fitness; and (8) Access to Medical Care. Results lend support to the objectives and strategies developed in the Healthy Maine 2000 project. (SR)
