Abstract

In the spring of 2018, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (the National Academies) appointed and charged the Committee on the Neurobiological and Socio-Behavioral Science of Adolescent Development and Its Applications (Committee) to examine the neurobiological and sociobehavioral science of adolescent development and to address how this knowledge can be most fruitfully applied so that adolescent well-being, resilience, and development are promoted for all adolescents. The Committee was also asked to make evidence-driven recommendations to key stakeholders serving adolescents and their families, including government agencies and community institutions; federal, state and local policy makers who guide the allocation of resources; and the research community.
