ABSTRACT
⢠Adolescents comprise around 25% of the Caribbean population. Past studies report that the challenges faced by this target group include substance use, mental health, violence, high risk sexual behaviours such as HIV, juvenile delinquency, obesity, accidents and injuries, among others. ⢠Through the understanding of the adolescent health risk behaviours, challenges, their health risks and protective factors, can we then comprehend and generate solutions to the challenges faced by youth in the Caribbean. This review will focus on the years 2006-2020, where we will determine what has or has not changed from the last review (from 1985-2005) and what solutions can be implemented.
