Adolescents, or youth and young adults ages 12–24, face a number of challenges in accessing quality health care services that meet their unique needs. Members of our Adolescent Health and Well-being research portfolio are committed to understanding and addressing those needs in four domains: behavioral health; sexual and reproductive health; special populations of adolescents; and transitioning to adult care. Our brief provides an overview of the work being done by members of this portfolio and how we collaborate with stakeholders to support adolescents' development into healthy, productive adults.
