Join Health Dialogues as we talk about teens coming of age. We?ll explore the health issues surrounding the transition from childhood to being an adult. How do parents and schools talk to teenagers about responsible sex and positive, loving relationships? How do teens interpret the images of health and sexuality that they see in the media? And, what are some of the most pressing health issues for teenagers on their journey to adulthood?

Pain 

 

Pain has been called America's silent epidemic. It is estimated that between 50 and 90 million Americans live with some kind of pain, which affects a person's family, job, and community. Pain costs billions of dollars in lost productivity and health care bills each year, and yet it remains a complex and mysterious issue. Join Health Dialogues as we explore many aspects of pain: the different types, the latest research on pain and the brain, pain relief, addiction, even attitudes towards pain.
