Answer:

Main health issues

Injuries

Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death and disability among adolescents. In 2019, over 115 000 adolescents died as a result of road traffic accidents. Many of those who died were “vulnerable road users”, including pedestrians, cyclists or users of motorized two-wheelers. In many countries, road safety laws need to be made more comprehensive, and enforcement of such laws needs to be strengthened. Furthermore, young drivers need advice on driving safely, while laws that prohibit driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs need to be strictly enforced among all age groups. Blood alcohol levels should be set lower for young drivers than for adults. Graduated licenses for novice drivers with zero-tolerance for drink-driving are recommended.

Drowning is also among the top causes of death among adolescents – more than 30 000 adolescents, over three quarters of them boys, are estimated to have drowned in 2019. Teaching children and adolescents to swim is an essential intervention to prevent these deaths.

Violence

Interpersonal violence is the fourth leading cause of death in adolescents and young people globally. Its prominence varies substantially by world region. It causes nearly a third of all adolescent male deaths in low- and middle-income countries in the WHO Region of the Americas. According to the global school-based student health survey 42% of adolescent boys and 37% of adolescent girls were exposed to bullying. Sexual violence also affects a significant proportion of youth: 1 in 8 young people report sexual abuse.

Violence during adolescence also increases the risks of injury, HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, mental health problems, poor school performance and dropout, early pregnancy, reproductive health problems, and communicable and noncommunicable diseases.

Which the government has to contribute to​
Taya2010 [7]

Answer: I really don’t know what you are talking about but I think this is it

social grants - the government gives grants in many forms: unemployment insurance, financial help for families with low economic resources, low-interest credit.

Nutrition - the government provides school lunch to public schools under nutritional guidelines. The government also provides food stamps to poor families.

School fees - the government subsidizes primary and secondary education, either with public schools, or school vouchers. For tertiary education, the government offers student loans at low interest rates, and scholarships.

Health Care - the government provides Medicaid for poor families, and Medicare for the elderly. It also regulates the price of prescription drugs to some extent.

Housing - the government provides public housing to poor families, and also help families to access mortgages at lower interest rates.
