The mental health and nutrition domains have clear challenges. Increased internalizing mental health issues have been observed cross-culturally, especially among girls.

We then choose two illustrative case studies to apply this framework — 1) abolition of secondary school fees policy in Kenya and 2) age of marriage law in Mexico. These cases were chosen based on the existence of rigorous causal evidence of effect, alignment of salience with expert opinions, broad-based implications for adolescents across contexts, and varied levels of success at achieving intended outcomes.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>Our framework identified six key components as critical foundations for adolescent-focused policies: (1) policy features and costs, (2) implementation considerations, (3) participatory approach, (4) inclusion and coverage, (5) policy appropriateness, and (6) monitoring and evaluation, each with key adolescent-specific elements. We find that the majority of the essential policy elements are addressed in the school fees abolition policy (Kenya), but are sparser in the age of marriage law (Mexico). The results also highlight the lack of decentralized monitoring as well as meaningful adolescent engagement at any level of policy development as potential drivers of ineffectiveness of adolescent-centric policies.</p></div><div><h3>Discussion</h3><p>Our adolescent policy analysis framework can serve as an important tool to define principles in the development of effective adolescent policies. It also can serve as a useful evaluation tool to unpack the ‘black box’ of policy effectiveness when combined with robustly estimated effects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":56278,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adolescent Health","volume":"75 4","pages":"Pages S37-S46"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142233789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research must <em>recognize socio-political, structural, and commercial determinants of adolescent health</em>; 3. Research must be <em>developmentally and contextually appropriate,</em> reflecting adolescents’ evolving capacities and increasingly complex and intersecting determinants of health; 4. Research must be <em>strengths-based</em> – moving away from problematizing adolescents and/or their behaviours toward focusing on their strengths as levers for change; and 5. Research must be <em>built on a foundation of respectful partnerships</em> <em>as a right</em>, and because adolescents have unique knowledge and skills to contribute. Technical investments: 1. Sampling techniques and approaches that provide <em>equity of opportunity for all</em> to participate; 2. <em>High-quality descriptive studies</em> from all nations to understand adolescents' ever-evolving contexts, needs and assets; 3.
