<p>This 2-volumeset focuses on adolescent health in the&nbsp;Middle East and North Africa region (MENA), and presents the&nbsp;latest research on the health risk behaviours and social behaviours that adolescents from the MENA region engage in.&nbsp;While there has been a surge in peer-reviewed research publications on population health in the MENA region in the last couple of decades, very few books offer a resource to address the&nbsp;diverse negative influences that disproportionately affect adolescents and children in the MENA region, including&nbsp;increased tobacco consumption culture, low emphasis on physical activity, increased sedentary behaviours, weak health policies, and societal issues related to displacement and political conflicts. These books offer a synthesis of&nbsp;current knowledge on adolescent health issues in the MENA region, and aim to provide&nbsp;evidence-informed adolescent health care practices that address current issues related to mental, physical, reproductive and nutritional health.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Volume 2 focuses on nutritional and reproductive health in the MENA region, predictive modelling of obesity, determinants of sexual and oral health, HIV, and diabetes.&nbsp;The study will aid health care professionals,&nbsp;policy&nbsp;makers, government organizations and health program planners to assess current&nbsp;policies&nbsp;and practices related to&nbsp;adolescent&nbsp;health&nbsp;in the MENA region, and to identify the best courses of action moving forward.&nbsp;</p><br>
