This publication is a combination of three publications in one: Key Issues Facing Rural Youth by Daniel F. Perkins, Urban Youth by Anthony J. LaGreca and Annotated Bibliography: Youth Issues compiled by Ronald L. Mullis.

In Key Issues Facing Rural Youth, the purpose is to examine the challenges and prospects of youth living in rural areas. In addition, a framework is provided that offers a powerful way of harnessing the energy and potential of youth for the betterment of their own development and the development of the rural communities in which they live. Urban Youth presents a selective introduction to a representative array of considerations paramount to understanding our urban youth. The Annotated Bibliography offers publications dealing with the following youth issues: careers, crime, culture, education, family relations, health, peers, risk and protection, teen pregnancy, technology and other miscellaneous topics.
