Identifying key components of a global conceptual framework for adolescent nutrition: Review, nominal group technique and youth co-design.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Optimal nutrition during adolescence is critical to growth and development. While several adolescent nutrition frameworks exist, a comprehensive reference framework is needed, which reflects the priorities and views of young people and guides action to improve adolescent nutrition. We believe that partnering with young people is key to enabling agency and empowering change. This collaborative project between the Global Adolescent Nutrition Network (GANN) and youth partners aimed to develop a conceptual and actionable framework for adolescent nutrition. This paper presents the methods used to identify the need for and to prioritise the key components of a new framework.

Methods

A literature review was conducted to identify and summarise available frameworks for ado
