Building on the foundations of The Lancet‘s sustained commitment to publishing the best in research around the world, including clinical paediatric research and global child health, it is exciting to see The Lancet announce the launch of a new journal — The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health.

We are delighted that Professor Susan Sawyer, Director, Centre for Adolescent Health, has been invited to join the international advisory board.

The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health will publish research Articles, Comments, Correspondence, Clinical Pictures, Editorials, Reviews, and Viewpoints. They are inviting submissions that effect clinical practice or public health across the life course from the fetal period through to young adulthood at 24 years.
