Abstract

In the past 20 years, my group has become the world-leader in adolescent health research. We have published papers that have transformed thinking on adolescent health. In the next five years, we will undertake research into the effects of puberty on mental health, explore the effects of health prior to pregnancy on a healthy start to life for the next generation and undertake global research that will enable the roll-out of new multi-billion dollar investments in adolescent health.
