The World Health Organization defined adolescent age group as a life span between 10 and 19 years. Adolescence is a phase of transition from childhood to adulthood, it is a unique stage for human development and a very sensitive period for laying the foundation of good health. Investment in this life-stage yields triple dividend. To promote health and well-being of adolescents, Government of India has launched various programs. An institutionalized evaluation of documenting achievement would strengthen these government led programs.
A cross-sectional survey will be conducted among adolescents enrolled in government schools in the age group of 13-17 years. Two research instruments for students, principals, and for data collectors a checklist will be developed. Standard measures will be followed for data quality assurance. Data from students and principals will be collected in self-administration mode. Bivariate and multiple logistic regression will be employed for data analysis.
The study protocol for the school-based adolescent health survey will be implemented in Himachal Pradesh, India. The survey results will be disseminate both at state and national level.
The study findings will provide policymakers and program planners with scientific evidence on key thematic areas essential for adolescent development and health outcomes. These insights will help identify and prioritize specific focus areas within the school health program, guiding more effective implementation strategies to address the unique needs of adolescents.
世界卫生组织将青少年年龄组定义为10至19岁的年龄段。青春期是从童年到成年的过渡阶段，是人类发育的一个独特阶段，也是奠定良好健康基础的非常敏感的时期。对这一生命阶段的投资会产生三重效益。为促进青少年的健康和福祉，印度政府已启动了各种项目。对记录成果进行制度化评估将加强这些由政府主导的项目。
将对年龄在13 - 17岁的政府学校注册青少年进行横断面调查。将为学生、校长以及数据收集者制定两份研究工具——一份清单。数据质量保证将遵循标准措施。学生和校长的数据将通过自我管理模式收集。数据分析将采用双变量和多元逻辑回归。
基于学校的青少年健康调查研究方案将在印度喜马偕尔邦实施。调查结果将在州和国家层面进行传播。
研究结果将为政策制定者和项目规划者提供关于青少年发展和健康结果关键主题领域的科学证据。这些见解将有助于确定学校健康项目内的具体重点领域并进行优先排序，指导更有效的实施策略以满足青少年的独特需求。
