Can you discuss the physical and cognitive changes that occur during adolescence and how they influence healthcare needs?
Answer / Nisheet Kumar Nigam
Adolescence is marked by significant physical, emotional, and cognitive changes. During this period, growth spurts occur, secondary sexual characteristics develop, and there are major brain reorganizations affecting decision-making, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. These changes can influence healthcare needs, including sexual and reproductive health, mental health, substance use prevention, and vaccination boosters.
