Abstract
Young people's health is giving rise to increasing concern. However, despite recent government emphasis on patient involvement and partnership, little discussion has occurred concerning how this may be achieved with younger age groups in primary care. Here we outline issues relating to adolescents' health and characteristics of current provision. These are considered in the context of innovative services that have incorporated adolescents' views. Finally, we discuss the challenge of establishing a partnership with adolescents and propose strategies for achieving this.
