Overview

As part of the global initiative to strengthen prioritization of adolescent well-being, the WHO Regional Office for Europe conducted a regional consultation on the topic on 6–7 July 2021. The core of the consultation was to review key issues as they relate to adolescent well-being in the WHO European Region, to identify policy implications for countries and highlight  technical and other resources needed to support countries in accelerating progress towards more equitable health and well-being in adolescence.This publication features the 6 background papers.
