The adolescent health indicators

The Global Action for Measurement of Adolescent health (GAMA) Advisory Group has been established by the World Health Organization (WHO) in collaboration with United Nations (UN)
partners to support efforts to focus adolescent health measurement on the most important issues and to improve alignment across different measurement initiatives.

This document presents a list of 47 indicators recommended by GAMA for measurement of adolescent health. These 47 indicators are applicable to all adolescent population subgroups and span
six domains:

1. Programmes, policies and laws
2. Systems performance and interventions
3. Social, cultural, economic, educational and environmental health determinants
4. Health behaviours and risks
5. Subjective wellbeing
6. Health outcomes and conditions

For each indicator, this guidance document provides a rationale for selection and measurement details. The indicators are intended to guide policy and programming for adolescents, and to assist in identifying topics in which more detailed health assessments and additional programming are needed.
