De la neurona adolescente a la política pública

Adolescence is considered a stage of development characterized by changes in the physiological, biological, cultural, economic, and social contexts; recent studies have confirmed this at the morphological and functional level of the adolescent brain. This research work recognizes adolescence as a significant moment in the life course that is influenced by the environment, culture, and internal and external stimuli in which adolescents develop. Given the above, actions in public policy will have an impact on the present of adolescents and on their life trajectory, as proposed by the life course approach. Then, the question was raised, what interventions could be applied to the Colombian population, through public policy, to promote neurodevelopment in adolescents, using the life course approach? This question was resolved through a literature search and evidence synthesis, creating a document of recommendations in public policy where 3 major aspects were found to positively affect adolescent neurodevelopment; the first, preventing the consumption of psychoactive substances, including alcohol and nicotine; the second, preventing trauma, particularly repetitive head trauma and violence; and the last, related to executive functions.--Taken from the Degree Document Format.
