Adolescent Health Study

Adolescent Health Study (AHS) will be a new longitudinal population study and data platform. It will focus on the critical biological and social developments that occur during adolescence. AHS will aim to recruit and retain around 100,000 young people, aged eight to 18 at enrolment, and will follow their health and wellbeing for a period of 10 years. Recruitment will take place predominantly through schools. The vision is to stimulate an exponential increase in research to understand health trajectories and outcomes for young people, with a key focus on health equity.
