Abstract

Adolescence, which the World Health Organization defines as the period between the ages of 10 and 19, is characterized by several physiological, psychological, and emotional changes. Adolescents might experience some specific issues during this time. Supporting adolescents during this time helps them deal with these issues more successfully. Adolescents may continue to lack strong problem-solving skills since they cannot locate appropriate health facilities despite some of the health issues they encounter on a global scale. Thus, the idea of “adolescent friendly health services” becomes more significant. With the aid of adolescent health services, we hope to accomplish our three key objectives. With the help of these services, investments are made in today’s teenagers, tomorrow’s adults, and consequently the future generations. Adolescent-friendly healthcare services should be regarded as acceptable, equitable, accessible, appropriate, and effective. However, to anticipate mortality and morbidity risks, psychosocial evaluation, a crucial part of adolescent-friendly health services, must be carried out using the acronym home, education/employment, eating, activities, drugs, sexuality, suicidal ideation and safety.
