Abstract
Purpose: To assess whether adolescents with chronic conditions (CC) differ from their healthy counterparts in the number of co-occurring risky behaviors.
Conclusions: Adolescents suffering from chronic conditions report higher rates of risky behaviors than their healthy peers. Moreover, they are also more likely report several risky behaviors at the same time. Health professionals dealing with this specific population of adolescents need to be aware of it and give them counseling and guidance.
