Global Adolescent Health
The world now has the largest group of young people there will ever be on the planet. How they grow during the adolescent years will affect not only their own health later in life but the contribution they will make to their societies in the future. Our studies describe these changing patterns of health and growth as countries undergo major transitions economically, nutritionally, demographically and epidemiologically. Visit the
Global Health page to learn more.

2000 Stories project is a landmark longitudinal study spanning almost 30 years. It is comprised of two studies, the original Victorian Adolescent Health Cohort (VAHCS) Study – which recruited 2000 year 9 students in 1992; and the Victorian Intergenerational Health Cohort Study (VIHCS) study, which recruited children from the original participants.
