Adolescent Health

Adolescence is a unique stage of human development and an important time for laying the foundations of good health.

Food habits developed during teenage years play a key role in adult health and help prevent diseases such as diabetes and osteoporosis.

Protecting adolescents from adversity, promoting socio-emotional learning and psychological well-being, and ensuring access to mental health care are critical for their health and well-being during adolescence and adulthood.

Promoting mental well-being and addressing mental health conditions, preventing and responding to non-communicable diseases, and preventing and responding to violence are important for the health of teenagers.
