About 1.3 billion of the world’s population are adolescents aged 10-19 years. Adolescents bear long periods of exposure to, and consequences of health risks yet are often least able to influence their environment and make decisions for their own well-being. Historically, the world has lacked comprehensive indicators for adolescent health, which has hindered the effective development of age-specific policies and interventions and tracking of progress towards health targets. This document presents a list of 47 indicators recommended by the Global Action for Measurement of Adolescent health (GAMA), established in 2018 by WHO in collaboration with UNAIDS, UNESCO, UNFPA, UNICEF, UN Women, the World Bank Group, and the World Food Programme. The 47 adolescent health indicators are the result of a structured, participatory 5-year selection process. They are applicable to all adolescent population subgroups and span six domains: (1) programmes, policies and laws, (2) systems performance and interventions, (3) social, cultural, economic, educational, and environmental health determinants, (4) health behaviours and risks, (5) subjective well-being and (6) health outcomes and conditions. Most countries already have data for many of these indicators available. Bringing this information together will help benchmark progress, identify priorities for action, and allocate resources efficiently. By prioritizing adolescent health, young individuals are empowered to reach their full potential, and contribute to building healthier and sustainable communities and societies.

This publication has been developed to provide a national framework for monitoring the health sector’s response to sexually transmitted infections and a set of core indicators to: -support countries monitor their programming for sexually transmitted infections and to identify gaps and challenges; and -facilitate regional and global tracking of the progress of WHO Member States in strengthening STI programming towards achieving the targets outlined in the global health sector strategies on, respectively, HIV, viral hepatitis and sexually transmitted infections. The core indicators are structured around currently available STI interventions and data that are routinely collected or can be monitored at least annually. The indicators are aligned with global reporting requirements and to the targets detailed in the global health sector strategies. Collecting and analysing these data will provide a comprehensive picture of the health burden of STIs and will inform how best to allocate resources to improve the effectiveness, efficiency and equity of STI services. The publication also outlines a stepwise approach to strengthen the monitoring of STI programmes and STI surveillance.

WHO has progressively strengthened its work for adolescent health, growing its portfolio of research, norms and standards, country support and advocacy, and expanding the scope of work across over 17 departments, regional and country offices to address the multifaceted needs of the global adolescent population. Central to a coordinated approach to adolescent health across the organization is the HQ Interdepartmental Technical Working Group on Adolescent Health and Well-being. In 2021, the group produced the first report on its work on adolescent health and well-being, celebrating efforts across many areas of work and all levels of the organization. This is the second in the series of biennial reports that comes on the wake of the Global Forum for Adolescents 2023 and is powered by its 1.8 Billion Young People for Change campaign. The report describes WHO’s efforts to elevate adolescent health and well-being through collaboration and by coordinating new initiatives, addressing emerging needs and establishing ambitious objectives with its development partners and adolescents. Target audience: this WHO serial publication is designed to be used by policy-makers, media and donors.

Including chapters on Africa, Asia, the Middle East and South America, this textbook fills a gap in the knowledge about the concerns and experiences of adolescents in political contexts beyond the global North. Includes features such as case studies, vignettes and reflective accounts authored by adolescents themselves, discussion questions, reading lists and eResources. This book centres on research generated using innovative and participatory methodologies, largely in the context of cross-country multi-method research, allowing insights through relationships developed by researchers with young people over extended time periods. This book explores how the under-researched ‘everyday politics’ of exercising voice and agency is experienced through interfaces between the local and global, embedded within relationships, and emotionally constituted

Governments and school communities recognize increasingly that health, well-being and educational outcomes are closely intertwined and that schools are important resources for influencing the health and well-being of students, families and the wider community. The school closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic have made these links particularly clear. A health-promoting school is “a school that constantly strengthens its capacity as a safe and healthy setting for living, learning and working”. The concept of health-promoting schools (HPS) is a whole-school approach to promoting health and educational attainment in school communities by capitalizing on the organizational potential of schools to foster the physical, social–emotional and psychological conditions for health as well as for positive education outcomes. The HPS approach and related whole-school approaches to health have been associated with considerable improvements in many domains of student health, well-being, nutrition and functioning.

The health of a woman is of prime importance to create a healthy society and health world. This book on ‘Women Health-Vol I’ is prepared in accordance with the current scenario of women which is broader in scope and extensive in contents. The vision and mission of this book is to provide commitment to improve the health and well- being of women and girls globally. This book will help students, researchers, health care workers and other readers to understand the current woman health understandings. It will also be helpful to meet the millennium development goals in the Women health perspectives. Starting with the introduction and definitions, we have thoroughly discussed all components of Women health extensively as individual chapters in the book. The wider approach to Women health and related chapters assess more about a complete woman-centered view rather than only a disease-centered opinion. The book highlights the importance of quality of life rather than survival, disease or mortality due health issues. Emphasis is given on the issues and challenges and on how to tackle and overcome the challenges which sometime is not easily accessible to the readers. The book does not only evaluate treatments and interventions of diseases but also greatly focused on the way how a woman can spend their life in a better way. The significant knowledge, information and communication regarding health of a woman ensure their safety, improve health of a family and population, mental health, facilitate the delivery of government healthcare services.
