Health Checklist

Ages 13 – 18

In this age group, regular check-ups give an opportunity to ask questions and understand how to start taking care of your own health.

Subjects you might want to discuss with your health care provider could include;

• Nutrition (including calcium intake)
• Physical activity
• Tobacco/alcohol/drug use
• Skin protection from ultraviolet light
• Vision/hearing
• Injury prevention
• Sexual activity
• Dental health
• Family/school/emotions

Please be truthful with your doctor or nurse. It is important to let him/her know any concerns you may have about your body or your feelings.

Remember, this is not an exhaustive list and there are NO stupid questions!
