Inviting for the Stakeholder Meeting to discuss the findings of the 'Adolescent and youth health behaviors research'

We are happy to share the news we have completed the 'Adolescent and youth health behaviors research' commissioned by UNPFA Mongolia and UNICEF Mongolia, and submitted the draft Final report. The primary objective of this research is to comprehensively understand the knowledge, attitude, practices, drivers, bottlenecks, and communication channels pertaining to i) healthy lifestyle, ii) SRH, iii) substance use, iv) mental health, v) bullying, and vi) gender-based violence of Mongolian youth aged 15-24. This understanding will inform the enhancement of social and behavior change communications, ultimately contributing to the adoption of positive health practices.

Field data collection took place in May and June, 2024, collecting qualitative and quantitative data from 314 adolescents and youth aged 15-24 as well as from 28 key-informants representing policy makers, implementers, teachers and social workers.
