Why Youth Health?

Youth Health is a multi-disciplinary specialisation that aims to support and enhance the healthy development and wellbeing of young people.

New Zealand youth currently have rates of suicide, pregnancy and motor vehicle crash fatalities that are amongst the highest in the OECD. The wellbeing of our youth population is critical to our country’s future social and economic prosperity. New research knowledge offers opportunities to make significant gains in the health and wellbeing of young people today and into the future.

Study Youth Health for a rewarding and interesting career where you can make a contribution to the health of youth in New Zealand. Join Bridget Farrant in this webinar as she talks about our Youth Health postgraduate study and research opportunities.
