Priority indicators for adolescent health measurement – recommendations from the Global action for Measurement of Adolescent health (GAMA) advisory group
Abstract
This article describes the selection of priority indicators for adolescent (10e19 years)
health measurement proposed by the Global Action for Measurement of Adolescent health advi-
sory group and partners, building on previous work identifying 33 core measurement areas and
mapping 413 indicators across these areas. The indicator selection process considered inputs from a broad range of stakeholders
through a structured four-step approach: (1) definition of selection criteria and indicator scoring;
(2) development of a draft list of indicators with metadata; (3) collection of public feedback
through a survey; and (4) review of the feedback and finalization of the indicator list. As a part of
the process, measurement gaps were also identified.
