Development of the oral, mental, and sexual reproductive health assessment tool for adolescents in Nigeria
This integrated 81-item tool captures three interconnected aspects of adolescent health, offering potential to strengthen service integration for this population. Beyond practice, it provides a foundation for empirical research to advance multisectoral adolescent health approaches. Future work should focus on validating the tool across diverse adolescent populations.
