The Health and Well-Being of Adolescents in China: The Past, Present, and Future

With this issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health, we bring you a landmark supplement highlighting the progress that has been made to improve the health and well-being of adolescents in China, where there are some unique opportunities to focus on young people in novel ways [1]. Six original articles in this supplement review the historical mortality of young people in China [2]; highlight the current status of adolescent health, including those young people who are most marginalized [3 –5]; and point to the future, as systems are being developed now that will monitor health status and improve healthcare delivery systems [6,7].
