Rosen spent much of Spring and Summer updating their award winning Teen Health & Wellness resource with an abundance of new features.  The first interface was already a great one, so I’m glad to see even more features added.

Here’s a summary of what’s NEW with Teen Health & Wellness for Fall 2010:

• Instant translation into 50 languages, including French and Spanish
• Social bookmarking and RSS feeds
• Customizable hotlines for local community resources
• Video throughout, including student created PSAs (public service announcements)
• Redesigned home page featuring user generated/student content, highlighting the Personal Story Project
• Expanded photos, illustrations, and charts
• Health calculators–Body Mass Index (BMI,) budget, blood alcohol content, and more
• New articles (50) including the teen brain, concussions, first aid, being part of a military family, hate crimes, foster care, being GLBT
• All entries have a 2010 update date with the bulk updated between June and August 2010
• Site optimized for Smartphones
