Adolescent Health and Well-Being in Malawi
The University of Strathclyde has been awarded £3 million from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) to lead a project to improve adolescent health and well-being in Malawi.
The Global Health Research Group funding award brings together experts from Strathclyde, Kamuzu University of Health Sciences and the Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences.
The team will work with adolescents, family and community members, health workers, policy makers, and other organisations to design, implement and evaluate approaches to improving adolescent health and well-being.
This four-year project seeks to understand the psychological, sociocultural, socioeconomic, educational, political and geographical contexts which influence adolescent health and well-being, and to explore how interventions and policies can best support adolescent health and well-being in the future.
