The summary states that the Global burden reports over 1.5 million adolescents die annually, with injuries, violence, self-harm, and maternal conditions leading the causes. Half of all mental health conditions in adulthood begin by age 14, but most cases remain undetected and untreated. Many adolescents enter adolescence undernourished, increasing vulnerability to diseases and also iron deficiency anemia is a significant concern. Violence, including interpersonal violence, self-harm, and war, is a major threat, with an estimated 180 adolescents dying daily from interpersonal violence alone and road traffic injuries are a leading cause of death among adolescents globally. Tobacco, alcohol, and sexual and reproductive health issues such as unintended pregnancies and unsafe abortions contribute to adolescent morbidity and mortality. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are also a concern and the use of harmful drugs can lead to various health problems and risky behaviors. The WHO emphasizes multifaceted approaches to address these challenges as solutions: Promoting healthy lifestyles which includes encouraging physical activity, healthy eating habits, and avoiding tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs. Strengthening mental health services that focus on early identification, intervention, and access to mental health services is crucial.
