Abstract

Chronic diseases, climate change, mental health, and COVID-19 recovery are among the most serious challenges facing our generation, who account for one sixth of the global population. Yet, current approaches to chronic disease prevention are proving ineffective, with limited advocacy and leadership initiatives for young people to collaborate with researchers to improve chronic disease outcomes. Researchers are responsible for engaging with adolescents as active research partners and guarding against unconscious biases to shape actions that support adolescents to lead healthy lives.
