Formative research helps us understand the challenges and opportunities that adolescents face, as well as barriers and enablers to behavior change.

The Adolescent Nutrition Resource Bank includes a variety of protocols and tools for monitoring, evaluating, and researching adolescent nutrition. If you have relevant monitoring, evaluation, or research resources, please send them to info@advancingnutrition.org.
