Encyclopedia of Child and Adolescent Health, Three Volume Set provides the most current research on childhood and adolescent health and development. Topics included are uniquely organized using the Biopsychosocial Model, originally developed by George L. Engel in 1977, to help understand the complexity between biological, psychological and social factors. According to the Biopsychosocial Model, health is determined by the reciprocal interactions between biology (e.g., genetics, physical development, family health history), psychology (e.g., mental health, identity developmental, attitudes), and social (e.g., family, peers, school, social supports) factors.

Sections cover brain development, genetics, hormones, nutrition, exercise, physical growth and puberty. The second volume continues with psychological and behavioral developments which contain topics on emotion, mindfulness, stress, depression, coping skills, cognitive developments, decision-making and trauma. The last volume concentrates on the social and environmental influences which comprise cultural influences, family, school, media social media, and peers.
