WHO response
Many adolescent health challenges are closely interrelated and successful interventions in one area can lead to positive outcomes in other areas. WHO is helping countries:
- to collect, analyse and use data on adolescent health to support and inform policy-making;
- to develop evidence-based policies and programmes that support adolescent health;
- to increase access to and use of health services for adolescents;
- to strengthen contributions from the education, media and other sectors to improve adolescent health.
