Adolescent quality of life and satisfaction with care

Given that adolescents and parents differ in their satisfaction with health care, it is helpful to have direct input from adolescents on health services surveys. The positive relationship between adolescents' psychosocial HRQL and satisfaction with care highlights the potential impact of emotional health on subjective rating of services. Further studies should determine if improvement in adolescents' mental health is associated with greater satisfaction with health care and/or increased adherence with medical treatments.
