The absence of routine health check-ups during adolescence in low- and middle-income countries is a missed opportunity for prevention, early identification, and treatment of health issues, and health promotion. We aimed to co-design the content and delivery for routine adolescent health check-ups in Zimbabwe, with adolescents and key adults in their lives. We held participatory workshops with adolescents (16 workshops; 96 adolescents) and parents (8 workshops; 95 parents), and in-depth interviews with key informants including policy makers, programmers and healthcare workers (n=25). Analysis was iterative and the design of the check-ups was refined based on participant preferences, document review of burden of disease data, and feasibility considerations. Participants overwhelming supported the introduction of routine health check-ups. Reported facilitators to attendance included free cost and desire to know one’s health status. Barriers included tendencies for health service-seeking only when ill, fear of diagnosis and judgement, and religious beliefs. Delivery preferences were by non-judgemental medical professionals, in a youth-friendly environment, and accompanied by youth engagement activities. Preferred location was schools for younger adolescents (10-14 years), and community settings for older adolescents (15-19 years). Prioritised content included sexual health, oral health, mental health,hearing, eyesight, growth and nutrition, anaemia, immunisation, and deworming, based on health burden and participant preferences. This study resulted in an outline design of two routine health check-ups with stakeholders in Zimbabwe, in schools for young adolescents and in community settings for older adolescents. Evidence of feasibility, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of such check-ups is required.
