Revisiting child and adolescent health in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals 2020-10-30 .txt text/plain 962 50 43 In conceptualizing the life course from birth to adulthood in terms of trajectories of healthy growth, learning, and development, there are predictable touch points where investments can be made and progress monitored-growth before age 2 years, readiness for school, developmental and academic milestones in school, and social milestones with respect to family, peer, and dating relationships. This 'contextual' and 'cumulative' perspective is important for understanding trajectories of survival, health and development throughout childhood and adolescence and the 'reciprocal' social and economic contributions that healthy, fulfilled adults can make to inclusive, sustainable societies. In a forthcoming PLOS Medicine special issue [13] , we are inviting impactful research in this important area on strategies to monitor and combat child mortality globally from birth through adolescence, school-age health and welfare, marginalised populations, and the environmental impacts on children's health. ./cache/cord-262431-0cragfka.txt ./txt/cord-262431-0cragfka.txt
