Adolescence is a period of remarkable psychosocial and neural development. Many life-long health habits are established during adolescence, making it a window of opportunity for health promotion. One way to promote adolescent health is through mass and social media campaigns. Although some health media campaigns that target adolescents are effective in changing health-relevant cognitions and behaviors, there is considerable room for improving these outcomes. Recent advancements combining neuroimaging tools and health persuasion have suggested key neural mechanisms underlying behavior change and retransmission of health-relevant ideas and norms in adults. This line of work highlights the integral role of the brain's value system in health persuasion and its importance for improving campaign design and effectiveness. Less is known about how these insights could be leveraged to inform adolescent health persuasion. In this article, we review what is known and unknown about the development of the brain's value system and its connections with cognitive control and social cognition systems across adolescence. Combining these insights, we propose that neuroimaging tools offer unique possibilities that could improve adolescent media health campaigns and promote adolescent well-being.
青春期是心理社会和神经发育显著的时期。许多影响一生的健康习惯在青春期形成，使其成为促进健康的机遇之窗。促进青少年健康的一种方式是通过大众和社交媒体宣传活动。尽管一些针对青少年的健康媒体宣传活动在改变与健康相关的认知和行为方面是有效的，但在改善这些成果方面仍有很大空间。最近将神经成像工具与健康劝导相结合的进展表明，在成年人中，行为改变以及与健康相关的观念和规范的再传播背后存在关键的神经机制。这一系列工作凸显了大脑价值系统在健康劝导中的重要作用及其对改进宣传活动设计和效果的重要性。对于如何利用这些见解为青少年健康劝导提供信息，我们所知甚少。在本文中，我们回顾了关于大脑价值系统在整个青春期的发育及其与认知控制和社会认知系统的联系，已知和未知的情况。综合这些见解，我们认为神经成像工具提供了独特的可能性，可以改善青少年媒体健康宣传活动并促进青少年的幸福。
