Biography
Dr Sarah Drew works on The Adolescent Health and Social Environments Program (AHSEP)
AHSEP researched capacity building for promoting health in young people's key social environments, such as schools and communities.
This program grew out of earlier work in the Gatehouse Project, which focussed on promoting student connectedness to school as a key protective factor for a range of health and education outcomes. The research demonstrated a reduction in health risk behaviours for young people as well as system level changes within schools.
