Youth Health is the range of approaches to preventing, detecting or treating young people’s health and well being (WHO, 2001). The term adolescent and young people are often used interchangeably, as are the terms Adolescent Health and Youth Health.
Young people’s health is often complex and requires a comprehensive, biopsychosocial approach (NSW Dept of Health, 2010).
