Outline of Final Research Achievements

We organized an international advisory board to conduct international collaborative studies with Prof. George Patton from Australia, Prof. Marcus Richards from the 1946 birth cohort study in the UK, and other collaborators, and a cross-cohort study between Japan and the UK in collaboration with Prof. Sarah Sullivan from ALSPAC study in the UK. The studies have achieved results that contribute to international adolescent health. In addition, we invited members of the International Advisory Board and held five international workshops. To support the international activities of young researchers, long-term dispatches were made to conduct research abroad under the supervision of international advisory board members such as Prof. George Patton of the University of Melbourne and Prof. Trevor Robbins of Cambridge University. These five dispatched researchers published 14 English papers as their achievements.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

国際アドバイザリーボードとの連携により、国際思春期保険に貢献する成果を挙げ、本領域はアジア思春期科学の中心拠点となった。領域期間内に5度の主催国際ワークショップを行い、英国 1946 年出生コホートとの共同研究により思春期の主体価値の形成の長期的人生ウェルビーイングへの影響が明らかになったことで、OECDに注目されるなど、思春期主体価値概念を国際導出することができた。
