Healthy Behaviors as a building block in the Children & Youth conceptual framework summarizes several important areas of intervention that are particularly relevant to youth:
|
 Reproductive Health
HIV/AIDS
Conflict
Violence
Substance Abuse
Programs targeting young people affected by these issues cannot be health interventions alone, but must embrace multisectoral linkages with employment and education policy. For example, risky sexual behavior is likely to be inversely correlated with educational attainment while youth delinquency can be directly linked to poverty. While many of these linkages appear to be common sense, there is still a need for more in-depth research on what really causes "unhealthy" behavior and how to best address them.
