But what is adolescent well-being? And how do adolescent well-being and adolescent health relate to each other?    As a contribution to answering these questions, the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health and the WHO are leading an initiative of the United Nations H6+ Technical Working Group on Adolescent Health and Well-Being to develop a consensus framework for defining, programming, and measuring adolescent well-being...<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
