Integrative Adolescence Research Programme (IARP) – iAdoRe study
The primary objective of the iAdoRe study is to comprehend the state of child health during adolescence. We will analyse how various factors, such as lifestyle choices, patterns of growth, and environmental circumstances, can impact the physical and mental development of adolescents. By gaining a deeper insight into the health and well-being of adolescents in Singapore, we aim to create opportunities for early interventions that can effectively address challenges to their well-being. Ultimately, this can strengthen the protective elements that contribute to positive outcomes in their lives, enabling them to actively contribute to society and reach their full potential.
How much do we know about the adolescent stage?
In comparison to young children and adults, much less is known about adolescents’ development. To date, we know the prevalence of mental health symptoms among youths is concerning, with statistics showing that one in three adolescents report experiencing such symptoms. To effectively address this issue, it is crucial to establish a comprehensive response system that can effectively deal with the various factors influencing the physical and mental health of adolescents. This system should be designed to consider and address the numerous factors that contribute to these health issues.
We hope to develop more holistic and effective interventions and policies that can improve the lives of parents and their children. Join us in our mission to translate scientific findings into real-world solutions that make a difference!
