Improving the Transitions – Reducing Social and Psychological Morbidity During Adolescence

This report, from the Prime Minister’s Chief Science Advisor, answers a request from the Prime Minister to provide a report focused on how we may improve the outcomes for young people in their transition from childhood to adulthood, arising from a concern that young New Zealanders have relatively high morbidity relative to other developed countries.

The report contains chapters on issues such as depression, alcohol and cannabis usage and bullying, from New Zealand experts in these areas.
