Abstract	Health risk behaviors (HRBs) in adults with spina bifida such as poor diet, reduced physical activity, increased television viewing time, and substance abuse often have their genesis in early childhood. They are potentially preventable but if not addressed aggressively may continue to progress across the lifespan. Findings from a population-based study highlight the need for a clinical and policy focus on prevention of HRBs, early school and community-based interventions, and transition services for the emerging adult. The author discusses the need for clinical and policy action to optimize the lives of emerging adults with spina bifida. (ERIC).
