In partnership with national and local organizations, the Adolescent Health Program aims to promote positive youth development and reduce negative health outcomes for all Alaskan adolescents. Adolescent health includes many areas, from mental and physical health to healthy relationships. The choices made and behaviors adopted during adolescence and young adulthood—the period of life from ages 10-24—affect overall wellbeing and, potentially, health throughout a person’s lifespan.
