Number of health centres that offer adolescent-friendly services or facilities per 100,000 adolescents.
Definition:
Ratio between the number of health centres with user-friendly services or facilities and the population from 10 to 19 years old, multiplied by 100,000, at the mid-point of the reference year.
Note:
The definition of a user-friendly facility is included in the list of indicators in the annex, to enable identification of user-friendly facilities. Country reports may include additional information, such as the characteristics of youth-friendly facilities (and thus verify whether they coincide with the definition in the glossary) and the number of consultations provided, in order to give another measure of comparison, because the size or capacity of these centres may differ between countries.
