Dr. Brendan O'Shea:
In terms of our consulting, we consult with everybody and certainly with adolescents. At times, it appears that adolescents have quite a deep knowledge and are well able to find things out. However, a lot of the time they are not and a lot of the time there is huge misinformation going around in that adolescent head. It is a challenging area. While some progress has been made, we feel it would be a relatively small investment and an excellent one on the part of society to do more.
