"Adolescents who have mentors were less likely to participate in four out of the five risky behaviors we looked at," says Dr. Sharon Beier. She is the director of adolescent medicine at Beth Israel Medical Center, in New York, and an assistant professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, N.Y.
The risky behaviors included carrying a weapon, illegal drug use in the past 30 days, alcohol use, smoking more than five cigarettes per day and having sex with more than one partner in the last six months.
Beier and her colleagues studied 294 youths from diverse economic backgrounds.

...
Beier also suggests that her results should encourage fathers to get more involved, and that doctors should make themselves more available to their teen-age patients.
