- Example 2: Adolescent stress levels rise steeply and physical activity levels plummet each Sunday at approximately noon. The participating health practitioner asks the adolescent what is occurring on Sunday afternoons, and finds that the adolescent is being teased at the park where the family typically spends Sunday afternoons. A targeted approach would be to suggest more adult supervision or another venue for physical activity to the family, or explore avenues for dealing with this kind of stress with the child.
