Abstract
The literature on adolescent risk is reviewed, a model of risk that emphasizes risk antecedents and markers is proposed, and an overview is presented of an emergency service delivery strategy that integrates services, emphasizes interagency coordination, and addresses the full range of service needs for youth at risk. Highlights of programs currently in operation are described.
