In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), adolescents have limited access to health care. A study in urban Zimbabwe showed that routine check-up visits integrated into existing school and health systems are feasible and acceptable. A control intervention has shown potential to improve adolescent health outcomes. The intervention also promotes better educational outcomes. In addition, it contributes to the long-term well-being of adolescents. The study was published in Nature Medicine on February 2, 2026.
