Table 1.

Key policies, practice, and research considerations.

1. Policies should be enacted to encourage and support research initiatives in underrepresented regions (South East and Eastern Mediterranean region) to rectify the current geographical imbalance in understanding the impacts of digital interventions on adolescent health. This would promote a more comprehensive global understanding.

2. Future funding should prioritize the development and implementation of neglected mediums like radio and podcasts, ensuring tailored, culturally sensitive approaches for effective engagement with diverse adolescent populations.

3. We recommend the integration of highly impactful digital mediums such as SMS/text messages, mobile applications, and websites within healthcare systems is necessary to expedite the improvement of adolescent SRH outcomes.

4. The significance of essential areas like menstrual hygiene, abortion, and sexual and intimate partner violence, prioritizing research focused on recognizing and comprehending the influence of digital KT interventions on these crucial aspects should be encouraged.

5. Active promotion and incentivization of international collaborations among researchers and institutions across regions should be undertaken to facilitate knowledge exchange and the sharing of best practices.

6. The sustainability and scaling up of these KT tools in different contexts will not only enhance the impact of digital interventions on adolescent SRH health but also economize research funds. Therefore, there is a critical need to evaluate the scalability of these tools in varied settings to ensure their effective implementation.
