This document is intended to address commonly occurring situations and challenges that one faces in carrying out research with adolescents (people aged 10–19 years), the majority of whom are deemed not to have reached the recognized age of majority in their respective settings. To this end, adolescents aged 18 and 19 years are classified as adults in many settings and have the legal capacity to make autonomous decisions regarding their participation in research. In this document, the term “children” refers to people below the age of 18 years, and the term “minor adolescents” refers specifically to people aged 10–18 years. Read More

Adolescence is a critical period of cognitive, emotional, physical and sexual development with consequences that stretch far into adulthood.

Abstract:
As the number of health systems strengthening (HSS) projects funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) increases, so, too, does the need to build the capacities of staff at the missions and at headquarters to plan, manage, and conduct monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of HSS projects. Evidence on how HSS interventions strengthen the performance of health systems (HS) and contribute to sustainable improvements in health status are scarce and scattered, with limited dissemination.
