Adolescent Health

Adolescent health focuses on the physical, mental, and social well-being of individuals during the transition from childhood to adulthood, typically between the ages of 10 and 19. It addresses the unique health needs and challenges faced by adolescents, including puberty, sexual and reproductive health, mental health issues, substance abuse, nutrition, and injury prevention. Promoting healthy behaviors, providing access to comprehensive healthcare services, and fostering supportive environments are key components of adolescent health initiatives, aiming to empower young people to lead fulfilling and productive lives.
