Tween Fact Sheets and Health Sites

US Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2009 ) “Audience Insights - Communicating to Tweens (Ages 9 – 12)”

Very informative fact sheet which describes tweens and their lifestyle, compares tweens with teens, provides facts related to their use of technology and the internet, gives data about their media habits and their behavior as consumers. Suggestions on communicating about health-related topics are provided.

-----------------------

USDA’s Nutrition.gov site provides information and links about health, fitness, nutrition, peer pressure, and more at "Life Stages for Tweens and Teens" and Nemours “TeensHealth”.

Both sites are provide information in attractive and accessible formats that would appeal to tweens. A good source for teens to get sensitive information.
