| Abstract | : | The period of adolescence (aged 10 to 19) is one of the most critical periods of human development as health and wellbeing at this age have lifelong consequences for health trajectories in later life. However, despite a growing interest in adolescent health and development over the last 20 years, the primary focus has been on those aged 15 to 24, with little attention given to younger ages. Explore4Action (E4A) is a four-year program aiming to fill this gap by investigating the factors that influence adolescents to make a positive and healthy transition from childhood to adulthood, and if and how comprehensive sexuality education can support this process. E4A includes three research tracks: (i) the Indonesian arm of the Global Early Adolescent Study (GEAS), a longitudinal quantitative study investigating how gender norms develop in early adolescence around the world and how these impact health and wellbeing; (ii) two phases of Youth Voices Research, a qualitative study to provide deeper insight to the GEAS results; and (iii) implementation research to evidence what is needed for successful implementation and the scale-up of comprehensive sexuality education. The research is supported by an advocacy track to make the case for better health education and services for young people across Indonesia. The baseline measurement of the Global Early Adolescent Study (GEAS) provided insights on a number of key issues currently faced by young people in Indonesia, including experiences of violence, mental health and future aspirations. We saw clear gendered differences in several outcomes, suggesting that gender norms disadvantage both boys and girls in different ways. Through this Youth Voices Research (YVR) we sought deeper insights into the finding of the GEAS baseline, understanding in more detail how norms and values related to gender, sexuality, power and violence impact on young people’s lives and future aspirations. |
