Summary

Topics covered

  • existing services and interventions for young people
  • effectiveness of different prevention and treatment strategies
  • gaps in current support and recommendations for improvement

Key findings

Effective interventions use multiple methods, address various risk factors, and actively engage young people.
Tailoring programs to be age-appropriate and culturally relevant improves outcomes. However, more research is needed on innovative approaches and supporting specific groups.
Involving young people in designing interventions and taking a "whole systems" approach could enhance impact.
