Organization: The Lancet: Child and Adolescent Health

The International Center for Research on Women and UNICEF convened experts from academia, civil society, donor, and bilateral and multilateral institutions for a consultation in April 2017. The purpose of the consultation was to better understand the relationship between gender and adolescent mental health and to identify priorities for adolescent-focused and gender-responsive mental health research and programs. The expert convening recommendations for data, gendered analysis, operations/implementation research, and incorporation into national policy agendas are included in this commentary.
