| Summary: | This review paper addresses the health situation of the
adolescents. Most of the studies we found were conducted in
countries other than Bangladesh. The medical care of the
adolescent has always been neglected in the developing world
until recently. While their medical needs are now being
considered with an increased emphasis, their phychosocial needs,
which are so important have not been adequately addressed. A few
studies have been conducted in Bangladesh on issues of
reproductive health. These studies suggests that early marriage
is a serious problem for adolescent girls resulting in early
pregnancy and thus enhances other reproductive health problems.
