Abstract

Dear colleagues,

        this is the first issue of Volume 2 of the Journal Developmental and Adolescent Health (JDAH), which is introducing a series of  submissions focusing on important aspects of adolescent life and development.

      A review article concerning information about the «Tripartite Model of Giftedness» is analyzing in depth five common characteristics of intellectual achievements. There is also a review about worries, needs, and attitudes of adolescents with intellectual disabilities, regarding their sexual activities and a review which aims to investigate the relationship between Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder and Eating Disorders in Adolescents.

     An original research article performed on 433 adolescent students in Greece showed that there is a statistical significant decrease in adolescents’ life satisfaction from family, friends, school, living environment and self as students were getting older.

    This issue offers also two brief reviews, one regarding the quality and friendliness of youth friendly services in Greece and worldwide and another one highlighting the overpareting situation in Greece comparing to European and Worldwide context.

      We are very enthousiastic that a second volume of JDAH is coming out, including a series of innovating articles. Have a great time exploring the present edition.        

      On behalf of the editorial team and content management of JDAH,
