在这篇文章中，我提出了使用综合方法来健康的理由，广义地定义为社会、情感、精神和身体健康；将年轻人的健康作为整个生命过程中未来健康和福祉的重要标志进行研究；并理解年轻人之间的健康差异既是社会分层的原因，也是社会分层的后果。综合方法通过理解健康中的社会、行为、心理和生物因素之间的联系，将生物医学与社会和行为科学联系起来。此外，在研究过程的所有步骤中进行整合是至关重要的：理论设计，数据收集和分析。我用青少年健康的国家纵向研究，或添加健康，作为一个例子，综合方法的健康和青春期的重要性和过渡到成年期的岁月设置健康轨迹到成年。还提供了关于青春期健康轨迹与成年期过渡和成年期社会分层之间的联系的证据
In this article, I make the case for using an integrative approach to health, broadly defined as social, emotional, mental, and physical well-being; for studying health among the young as an important marker for future health and well-being across the life course; and for understanding health disparities among the young as both causes and consequences of social stratification. An integrative approach bridges biomedical sciences with social and behavioral sciences by understanding the linkages between social, behavioral, psychological, and biological factors in health. It is furthermore vital that integration occur in all steps of the research process: in theory design, data collection, and analysis. I use the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, or Add Health, as an example of an integrative approach to health and of the importance of adolescence and the transition to adulthood years for setting health trajectories into adulthood. Evidence is also presented on the linkages between health trajectories during adolescence and the transition to adulthood and social stratification in adulthood
