This brief looks at how community health workers (CHWs) support adolescent health in sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing on over 60 studies, it shows that CHWs; both peers and adults; can effectively improve mental health, HIV care, and sexual and reproductive health. It highlights what works best for reaching adolescents, building trust, protecting confidentiality, and addressing gender issues, offering practical guidance for stronger, more adolescent-friendly health programs.
