Adolescent research briefs<\/h3>

The world is home to 1.2 billion adolescents (10-19 years): the largest cohort of this age-group in history. Adolescence is a critical period of cognitive, emotional, physical and sexual development with consequences that stretch far into adulthood. The period also provides a second \u201cwindow of opportunity\u201d to build on early investments, promote positive behaviours, and offer a second chance to those who fared less well in early childhood.<\/span><\/p>

90 per cent of adolescents live in low- and middle-income countries. Despite an increasing focus on their wellbeing, comprehensive data collection systems and research for effective interventions are lacking. This is particularly true for younger and disadvantaged adolescents.<\/span><\/p>

Developed by\u00a0UNICEF\u00a0Office of Research – Innocenti<\/a>\u00a0with\u00a0Columbia University<\/a> and experts from the 2016 Lancet Commission<\/a>, this series of research briefs provides a much needed review of contemporary research methodologies for adolescent wellbeing in low- and middle-income countries, covering: indicators and data sources, ethics, research with disadvantaged and vulnerable groups, participatory research, measurement of the social and structural determinants of adolescent health, and adolescent economic strengthening interventions.<\/span><\/p>

The aim of these briefs is to improve efforts to collect rigorous evidence for programmes and policies on adolescent health and wellbeing. They will assist a wide range of professionals and stakeholders who conduct, commission or interpret research findings to make decisions about programming, policy and advocacy.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
