Abstract

Author(s):

Adolescence is a critical phase in human development characterized by significant physical, emotional, and social changes. This research article examines the multifaceted dimensions of adolescent health, including the challenges and opportunities that shape the transition into adulthood. We explore key factors influencing adolescent health, such as physical well-being, mental health, sexual and reproductive health, substance use, and the role of technology. We also highlight the importance of promoting comprehensive, evidence-based interventions that empower adolescents to make informed decisions and lead healthy lives. By addressing the unique needs of adolescents, we can ensure a brighter, healthier future for the next generation.
