Dear Subscribers,<\/p>

Apologies for the silence, The Lancet Commission on Adolescent Health and Wellbeing, is in a planning phase for the “Lancet Standing Commission”.\u00a0 Stayed tuned – more to come in early 2018!<\/p>

In the mean time, read below for an important event from our partners in Global Adolescent Health.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

DCP3 Volume 8 ‘Child and Adolescent Health and Development’\u00a0<\/em>launch<\/span><\/h2>

Disease Control Priorities, 3rd Edition (DCP3)<\/em>\u00a0has been a 5 year collaborative effort involving more than 30 editors and more than 500 authors, many of whom you will know. \u00a0Volume 8 of the 9-volume series is entitled Child and Adolescent Health and Development<\/em>, and explores the role of health in the development of human capital in poor countries. Further information on DCP3 and Volume 8, can be found\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>

Key messages<\/h3>
  • It takes some 8000 days for a child to develop into an adult. Sensitive phases shape\u00a0development throughout this period, and age-appropriate and condition-specific\u00a0support is required throughout if a child is to achieve full potential as an adult.<\/li>
  • Investment in health during the first 1000 days is widely recognised as a high priority,\u00a0but investments are often neglected in the following 7000 days of middle childhood\u00a0and adolescence. This neglect is also reflected in the investment in research on these\u00a0age groups.<\/li>
  • At least three phases are crucial to health and development during the next 7000 days,\u00a0each requiring a condition-specific and age-specific response: middle childhood\u00a0growth and consolidation phase (5\u20139 years) when infection and malnutrition remain\u00a0key constraints on development, and mortality rates are higher than previously\u00a0realised; adolescent growth spurt (10\u201314 years) when body mass increases rapidly and\u00a0substantial physiological and behavioural changes associated with puberty occur; and\u00a0adolescent growth and consolidation phase (15\u201319 years), which brings further brain\u00a0restructuring, linked with exploration, experimentation, and initiation of behaviours\u00a0that are lifelong determinants of health.<\/li>
  • Broadening of investment in human development to include scalable interventions\u00a0during the next 7000 days can be achieved cost-effectively. Two essential packages\u00a0were identified: the first package addresses the needs in middle childhood and early\u00a0adolescence through a school-based approach; the second focuses on older\u00a0adolescents (15\u201319 years) through a mixed approach also involving the community,\u00a0media and health systems. Both packages offer high cost-effectiveness and\u00a0benefit-cost ratios.<\/li>
  • Well designed health interventions in middle childhood and adolescence can leverage\u00a0the current substantial investment in education, and improved design of educational\u00a0programmes can improve health. The potential synergy between health and\u00a0education is undervalued and the returns on co-investment are rarely optimised.<\/li><\/ul>
