Health care providers can help overcome barriers that hinder adolescents' effective use of health services by incorporating health literacy strategies that are developmentally and contextually appropriate, and that actively involve adolescents in their own learning.

Using Curriculum Design Principles to Improve Health Education for Adolescent Girls
Learning and teaching are main concepts within health contexts, but curriculum theory is generally overlooked in the design of health education. In this paper, we describe the curriculum development component of a health research study designed to develop and present educational interventions for adolescent girls. Through the use of these interventions, we encouraged the girls to recognize and address potential health compromises in their dating …
Beyond Talking Groups: Strategies for Improving Adolescent Health Education
In a study that focused on adolescent girls' health issues within their dating relationships, we found that nonstructured focus group conversation can be augmented with structured strategies to generate a nonthreatening environment in which participants are enabled to co-create an understanding of their experiences. The use of free writing, role playing, and body tracing helped raise participants' awareness and understanding of some of their heal…
Data Collection Strategies for Accessing Adolescent Women's Worlds
A two-year study was initiated in 1999 to investigate adolescent women's health concerns pertaining to their relationships. Data were obtained from four groups of girls (ages 14-19; N = 31) that met for approximately 18 weeks each. To help equalize power in the groups and facilitate a respectful and caring environment, we encouraged each group to use a variety of strategies, including those based on feminist principles. Data collection procedures…
Young Women's Health Concerns: Revealing Paradox
Because of the numerous physical, psychological, and social changes that take place for adolescents, the risk of engaging in life-threatening behavior is greater than at any other time in their life-span. Community workers identified the invisibility of adolescent women (ages 16–24) in their health-related programs and sought to rectify this. To discover the unmet health concerns of adolescent women, eight focus groups were held with a diverse gr…

Women's Midlife Experience of their Changing Bodies
The purpose of the ethnographic report described in this article is to discuss midlife women's perceptions of their changing bodies within the Western cultural context and to provide a basis for health care with women. The narratives of 11 midlife women (ages 40-53) were obtained. Data were analyzed using Spradley's (1979) Developmental Research Sequence Method. Results of the study indicate that women's midlife experience of their changing bodie…

However, the author was not prepared for the ambivalence, contradiction, and discomfort that she experienced in response to doing this research project. It was only when she discovered the concept of reflexivity, which enabled her to articulate the liminality of her position, tha…
