GAMA Advisory Group Tenth Meeting Summary

Date: 12th–14th September 2023

Executive Summary

This meeting aimed to finalize the priority indicator list for adolescent health measurement, building on prior studies. Key outcomes included presenting results from the feasibility study, harmonization exercise, and data compilation, receiving input on indicator refinement, finalizing the indicator list, updating launch plans, and discussing future activities. A collaborative approach was emphasized to harmonize global efforts in adolescent health data collection and reporting.

Meeting Objectives and Outcomes

• Objectives:
  • Present results from feasibility study, harmonization, and data compilation using global databases.
  • Update on working group recommendations for refining indicators.
  • Finalize the priority indicator list.
  • Collect input on list structuring.
  • Provide updates on planned launch and related products.
  • Brief participants on relevant projects.
  • Present and gather input on future activities.
• Outcomes:
  • Feasibility study, harmonization, and data compilation results were shared.
  • Recommendations from working groups led to finalizing the indicator list with minor modifications.
  • Input was collected for structuring the list, focusing on domains and groupings.
  • Launch plans for May 2024 at the World Health Assembly were outlined.
  • Future activities received input, including donor engagement and new advisory group selection.

Feasibility and Data Analysis

• Feasibility Study: 52 draft indicators analyzed, showing high data availability in countries (especially for historically promoted indicators), with lower availability for sensitive topics like mental health. Stakeholders found most indicators highly relevant.
• Data Compilation: Based on 11 global custodians, 41 indicators matched or partially matched the draft list.

Indicator Finalization and Structuring

• Finalization: The list was refined using working group recommendations, with a few indicators modified or dropped due to data gaps or low relevance.
• Structuring Decisions:
  • Domains retained as previously defined for alignment with the AA-HA! 2.0 document.
  • Indicator numbering removed to allow flexibility.
  • Action points: Secretariat to explore adding columns (e.g., recommended data source) and propose new groupings in the draft document.
• Naming: No consensus on a name (e.g., "Adolescent Health Indicators" was proposed but rejected by some).

Harmonization and Data Availability

• Harmonization Exercise: Draft indicators varied in inclusion across global initiatives, with discrepancies noted for similar indicators, highlighting a need for better coordination.
• Data Dispersion: Assessments showed uneven global data availability, with some indicators well-supported and others needing further development.

Integration with Other Initiatives

• Adolescent Well-being Measurement: Potential merge with GAMA workstream discussed; communication convergence recommended.
• Unintentional Injuries: Collaboration with UNICEF to align indicators, focusing on hospitalization metrics.
• Lancet Commission Update: Serves as inspiration; core indicators to be shared with GAMA.
• Other Advisory Groups: Updates from MoNITOR, CHAT, and ADLAB emphasized collaborative opportunities, including implementation support and case study sharing.

Launch and Dissemination Plans

• Launch: Scheduled for May 2024 at the World Health Assembly, with targets for success measured by agenda integration and youth engagement.
• Action Points: Secretariat to facilitate engagement with media (e.g., Times of India), and organize side events with ministries of health.

Key Products and Future Activities

• Country-Level Use: Proposed products include national seminar packages, educational support, and youth engagement tools (e.g., posters, videos).
• Journal Supplement: Update on article submissions for a dedicated supplement.
• Future Activities: Planning for a partner webinar in late 2023; donor interest in activities like measuring health inequalities and indicator validation is targeted.

Action Points Summary

• Secretariat: Explore indicator categorization enhancements and propose new groupings.
• Experts: Contribute to case studies on indicator validation (e.g., integrated connectivity, tobacco data).
• Follow-Up: Review GAMA tasks post-launch, select new advisory group members based on expertise needs.
