The Special issue

This special issue is focused on young people’s involvement in shaping health and social care policy and practice leading to improvements in health and wellbeing outcomes for young people. The transition from childhood to adulthood is an important, fascinating period of life. Young people between the ages of 10 and 25 need particular support and special services, especially those who may be marginalised. They have different patterns of need from younger children and older adults. This special issue is interested in research that has helped to improve health outcomes for young people include developing policy initiatives that focus more specifically on 10-24-year-olds, implementing age-appropriate health promotion and early interventions, commissioning services that meet the unique needs of young people particularly during transition, and taking specific actions to reduce health inequalities by addressing the social determinants of health in this age group. Good health for young people is central to their wellbeing and forms the bedrock for good health in later life. We want to learn about projects and approaches in which young people have helped to ensure health and social care policy is informed, influenced and shaped by the views and lived experiences of young people.

As a result, we encourage innovative research and submissions grounded in youth and youth-led research and centred on the views and experiences of young people.
