年龄在10至14岁之间的青少年约占当今世界12亿10至19岁青少年的一半。在大多数意外怀孕、不安全堕胎、孕产妇死亡和性传播感染发生的中低收入国家，为促进性健康和生殖健康而对青年积极发展的投资正在增加。然而，大多数干预措施侧重于年龄较大的青少年，忽视了VYA。由于青春期早期标志着童年与青春期后期和成年之间的一个关键过渡，为今后的性健康和生殖健康以及性别态度和行为奠定基础，因此，必须对自愿青年援助进行有针对性的投资，为今后健康的关系和积极的性健康和生殖健康奠定基础。本文倡导这种投资，并确定了政策制定者、捐助者、方案设计者、研究人员和评估人员在解决这种差距方面可以发挥的作用。
Very young adolescents (VYAs) between the ages of 10 and 14 represent about half of the 1.2 billion adolescents aged 10–19 in the world today. In lower- and middle-income countries, where most unwanted pregnancies, unsafe abortions, maternal deaths and sexually transmitted infections occur, investment in positive youth development to promote sexual and reproductive health (SRH) is increasing. Most interventions, though, focus on older adolescents, overlooking VYAs. Since early adolescence marks a critical transition between childhood and older adolescence and adulthood, setting the stage for future SRH and gendered attitudes and behaviours, targeted investment in VYAs is imperative to lay foundations for healthy future relationships and positive SRH. This article advocates for such investments and identifies roles that policy-makers, donors, programme designers and researchers and evaluators can play to address the disparity.
