Action on socioeconomic determinants of health among adolescents is an essential component of an equity-orientated strategy for child and adolescent health, as expressed in the WHO European strategy for child and adolescent health and development. To support Member States in integrating measures to address the socioeconomic determinants of health into policies and interventions promoting young people’s health, the WHO Regional Office for Europe called for an annual Forum process to review the latest emerging evidence and synthesize lessons learnt in policy design and implementation.
