• This poster examines the 2021/2022 National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH) as part of an environmental scan to inform the overall approach for monitoring adolescent and young adult health and wellbeing at national and state levels. The data reveal important areas for needed improvements in adolescent health and wellbeing and in their health, school, and community support systems. This can help state Title V programs as they conduct their MCH Block Grant needs assessment and work with key stakeholders to implement cross-sector strategies to support improvements in adolescent and young adult health and wellbeing. States can use the information to produce their own adolescent health and wellbeing profile, with comparison to national estimates.
