What are we trying to find out?
1.
To understand outcomes and pathways of development
2.
To understand child, school, and other factors that may positively and negatively influence the development of adolescents
3.
To identify groups of adolescents where outcomes and pathways of development may differ
4.
To highlight mechanisms and pathways of development that may inform potential interventions
Why?
Adolescence is a sensitive & challenging period of development and change
- Puberty and physical changes
- Brain and cognitive changes
- Gaining more independence
- Building your own identity
- Educational transitions from primary to secondary to tertiary
We want to learn how to best support our teenagers as they go through these significant changes and set them up for success.
