全球越来越关注青年人的健康和福祉需求。预防性和积极主动的方法可能会为青年人、他们自己的子女和更广泛的社会带来最明显的红利。简要概述了国际青年保健的背景。除了影响政策外，包括心理学家在内的卫生保健团队还可以发挥重要作用，影响他们工作的组织，倡导年轻人及其家庭的需求。这是本文的重点。发展适当的卫生保健（DAH）的概念，为年轻人进行了探讨。在规划服务和办法以满足青年人的需要时，它可以提供帮助。建立关系可能是关键，与年轻人建立联系，帮助他们做出健康和福祉决定，并提供个性化的支持。“连通性”研究也有助于超越医疗保健证据。心理学家和他们的多学科医疗保健同事在实践和研究中面临的一个关键挑战是摆脱对二元的依赖，衡量健康和福祉的结果，而是找到促进和衡量对年轻人及其家庭有意义的发展成果的方法。
There is increasing global attention on the health and wellbeing needs of young people. Preventive and proactive approaches will likely lead to the clearest dividends for young people, their own children and wider society. A brief overview of the international context for young people's health care is given. As well as influencing policy, there are important roles for the health care team, including psychologists, to influence the organisations they work within, advocating for the needs of young people and their families. This is the focus of this article. The concept of developmentally appropriate health care (DAH) for young people is explored. It could help when planning services and approaches that respond to the needs of young people. Building relationships is likely to be key, to connect with young people to help them make health and wellbeing decisions, and provide individualised support. The 'connectedness' research could also be helpful in looking beyond the health care evidence. A key challenge for psychologists and their multi-disciplinary health care colleagues, in practice and research, is to move away from a reliance on binary, easier-to-measure health and wellbeing outcomes and, instead, find ways to promote and measure developmental outcomes that are meaningful to young people and their families.
