Abstract
In 2015, all the member states of the United Nations signed up to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) [1]. SDG 3 aims to “ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.” Central to this goal are the concepts of health and well-being. This is at least as true for adolescents (10–19 years) as for any other age group. The United Nations Secretary General’s Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health (2016–2030), which aims to “ensure health and well-being for every woman, child and adolescent” within the context of the SDGs, recognizes that adolescents will be central to the overall success of the strategy [2].
