TL;DR
It was found that adolescents in Kenya were primarily concerned with developing a coherent and consistent set of personal values which would govern their behavior but could not always achieve those values and they resorted to dysfunctional coping strategies which were injurious to their health.
Abstract
The role of the adolescent in developing countries is complex and poorly defined. In a period of unprecedented change, an urgent and comprehensive review is necessary by all sections of society if the health of this group is to improve.
