青春期被认为是一个相对没有重大健康问题的人生阶段。然而，对圣克拉拉社区青年营成员健康状况的一项试点研究显示，这些贫困的青少年中有许多确实存在严重的健康问题。1966年5月，圣何塞市卫生局对109名辍学学生进行了调查，其中11%有严重的听力损失，7%对结核菌素试验呈阳性反应，35%的实验室检测结果异常，18%被判定有心理健康问题，需要转诊。由于这项调查所显示的健康问题，圣何塞市卫生局在1966年12月至1967年5月期间进行了本次研究。该研究的主要目的是确定健康问题并提供后续服务，以实现必要的医疗护理。次要目的是提供健康教育，并协助社区青年营管理人员处理有身体或心理健康问题的营员。此外，人们希望这项研究能够回答以下一些问题。这些青少年的健康状况与所谓的富裕青少年的健康状况相比如何？在校营员的健康状况如何……

Secondary objectives were to provide health education and to assist Neighborhood Youth Corps administrators in dealing with enrollees who presented physical or mental health problems. In addition, it was hoped that the study would answer some of the following questions. How would the health of these adolescents compare with the health of so-called privileged adolescents? How did the health of in-school enrollees
