人口，家庭与生殖健康哲学博士-青少年健康

人口，家庭和生殖健康部在人生历程框架内看待青少年健康。虽然我们知道青春期是生命的第二个十年，但我们的工作包括过渡到成年。我们认为健康和教育之间有着不可分割的联系，并特别关注那些在国内和国际上最脆弱的年轻人口中增强适应力和积极的青年健康的背景因素。
The rapid and dramatic development of health that occurs during childhood and adolescence drives the passion and purpose of faculty and students in the child and adolescent health area of interest. Grounded in a life course framework, our multi-disciplinary faculty is passionate about promoting the early and lifelong health and well-being of children from infancy through adolescence and the transition to adulthood. We seek to advance the scientific basis, public health determinants, programmatic strategies and policy considerations that influence and promote child and adolescent health. We employ biological, developmental, ecological and behavioral approaches to illuminate the interacting influences of family, community, school, environment, policy and systems factors on child and adolescent health. We view health and education as inexorably linked and are specifically focused on contextual factors that enhance resilience and positive youth health among the most vulnerable populations of young people both domestically and internationally.
