(4) YA Just the Facts series. Each of these books explores its subject by relaying its medical, clinical, and/or chemical aspects and by looking at its social ramifications, especially for teens.

Reading list. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Just the Facts titles: AIDS, STDs, Painkillers and Tranquilizers, Alternative Medicine, Depression, and Eating Disorders.]
