This review summarizes the case for investing in adolescence as a period of rapid growth, learning, adaptation, and formational neurobiological development. Adolescence is a dynamic maturational period during which young lives can pivot rapidly-in both negative and positive directions. Scientific progress in understanding adolescent development provides actionable insights into windows of opportunity during which policies can have a positive impact on developmental trajectories relating to health, education, and social and economic success. Given current global changes and challenges that affect adolescents, there is a compelling need to leverage these advances in developmental science to inform strategic investments in adolescent health.
本综述总结了投资青春期的理由，因为这是一个快速生长、学习、适应和形成性神经生物学发展的时期。青春期是一个充满活力的成熟阶段，年轻人的生活在此期间可以迅速转向负面或正面。在理解青少年发展方面的科学进步为政策提供了有针对性的见解，即在哪些窗口期可以对与健康、教育以及社会和经济成功相关的发展轨迹产生积极影响。鉴于当前影响青少年的全球变化和挑战，迫切需要利用发展科学方面的这些进展为青少年健康的战略投资提供信息。
