There is an emerging focus on adolescent health within the global health community as we come to recognize that the adolescent years are formative in determining health and health-related behaviours across the life-course. Such attention is not only relevant on the global scale but is imperative in Canada as well.
This commentary provides a brief review of recent investments targeting global adolescent health and presents five potential avenues for action which emerged out of the recent Canadian Partnership for Women and Children's Health (CanWaCH) Global Adolescent Health conference. These avenues are: (1) Demand data; (2) Embrace complexity; (3) Be holistic; (4) Engage adolescents; and (5) Commit to Canada.
As international agencies signal their commitment to global adolescent health, Canada is well-positioned to lead this call to action by espousing the fundamental adolescent health tenets of advocacy, equity, justice, and collaboration in order to move this critical agenda forward.
随着我们逐渐认识到青少年时期对决定整个生命周期的健康和与健康相关的行为至关重要，全球卫生界越来越关注青少年健康。这种关注不仅在全球范围内具有重要意义，在加拿大也是当务之急。
本评论简要回顾了最近针对全球青少年健康的投资情况，并提出了从最近的加拿大妇女和儿童健康伙伴关系（CanWaCH）全球青少年健康会议中得出的五个潜在行动途径。这些途径是：（1）需求数据；（2）接受复杂性；（3）全面；（4）让青少年参与；（5）致力于加拿大。
随着国际机构表示致力于全球青少年健康，加拿大完全有能力通过拥护倡导、公平、正义和合作等基本青少年健康原则来引领这一行动呼吁，以推动这一关键议程向前发展。
