Abstract
An analysis of major social indicators shows that black youth are relatively worse off in the 1980s than they were in 1960 in rates of unemployment, delinquency, substance abuse, teenage pregnancy, and suicide. Collaborative efforts among social service agencies, community organizations, and parents to develop preventive approaches to these interrelated problems are urged, and a national policy for children and families is called for.Keywords
