Epidemiology and overview of the burden of disease in adolescents
Dr Helen Weiss discusses the health needs of adolescents and potential interventions to improve their health.

Professor Helen Weiss will outline the health needs of adolescents and begin to explore how we can intervene during this critical time to improve their health and wellbeing during this period and beyond.
