Abstract
This article describes the selection of priority indicators for adolescent (10e19 years)
health measurement proposed by the Global Action for Measurement of Adolescent health advi-
sory group and partners, building on previous work identifying 33 core measurement areas and
mapping 413 indicators across these areas. The indicator selection process considered inputs from a broad range of stakeholders
through a structured four-step approach: (1) definition of selection criteria and indicator scoring;
(2) development of a draft list of indicators with metadata; (3) collection of public feedback
through a survey; and (4) review of the feedback and finalization of the indicator list. As a part of
the process, measurement gaps were also identified.
