几十年的青春期研究已经产生了关键的科学发现。基于该领域丰富的历史，我们强调了四个未充分研究的人群：有色人种青年，男孩，性少数青年和性别少数青年。我们探讨了为什么科学研究在这些群体中发展缓慢，并为令人兴奋的新工作提出了前进的道路。对于种族多元化的青年，我们讨论了融入文化和背景的必要性。对于男孩，我们强调的方法问题和挑战映射到男孩现有的概念模型。对于性和性别少数的青年，我们讨论青春期的独特挑战，并建议如何更好地捕捉他们的经验。着眼于新时代，我们提出了下一步的建议，并强调跨学科研究的重要性。
Decades of puberty research have yielded key scientific discoveries. Building on the field's rich history, we highlight four understudied populations: youth of color, boys, sexual minority youth, and gender minority youth. We explore why scientific study has been slow to evolve in these groups and propose paths forward for exciting new work. For ethnically racially diverse youth, we discuss the need to incorporate culture and context. For boys, we highlight methodological issues and challenges of mapping existing conceptual models onto boys. For sexual and gender minority youth, we discuss unique challenges during puberty and suggest ways to better capture their experiences. With an eye toward a new era, we make recommendations for next steps and underscore the importance of transdisciplinary research.
