A deep dive into adolescent development
The rate of mood disorders was 22.5 percent for sexual minority children, compared with 6.9 percent for heterosexual children.

Research on Adolescence in the Twenty-First Century
Building on foundational studies from the 1980s and 1990s, recent research has elucidated the mix of risks and benefits of paid work for adolescents.
