A project that will integrate adolescent health and development (ADH) issues into the curricula of medical and nursing education institutions has been undertaken by the Adolescent Health and Development Programme, WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific, in collaboration with the Open University and College of Nursing, University of the Philippines, Manila and WHO Headquarters. The project itself constitutes part of an ongoing process to find ways to introduce adolescent health and development into pre-service training and continuing education of health professionals throughout the Region. It is part of the ADH strategic plan and is considered high priority. In this document, the process and findings of a preliminary qualitative research project are presented and discussed as the basis for a framework for integration.
