Congratulations to Professor George Patton, Director of Research at the Centre for Adolescent Health, whose team’s research on youth mortality recently received coverage on The New York Times website. The international study, published in The Lancet this month, was the first to report on the rates and causes of global mortality in people aged 10-24. The work received widespread media coverage both in Australia and overseas. George is head of the Adolescent Health Research Group at the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute and has joint appointments at the University of Melbourne and Royal Children’s Hospital.
