A CENTRE OF RESEARCH EXCELLENCE IN ADOLESCENT HEALTH: MAKING HEALTH SERVICES WORK FOR ADOLESCENTS IN A DIGITAL AGE

Grant number: 1134894 | Funding period: 2017 - 2022

Completed

Abstract

Developmentally appropriate adolescent healthcare must be inter-disciplinary, with sound communication and acknowledging increasing autonomy; not easily accommodated within traditional paediatric and adult models of care. Our diverse team of experts will work with young people, parents, policy makers and service providers to create principles of cost-effective, equitable and accessible healthcare for adolescents, making best use of present-day health services and modern digital technologies.
