This research supports and elaborates on several documented and accepted good practices for working with adolescents to improve nutrition knowledge and attitudes. Similar programs with key features such as co-design, suitable timing, curriculum, and exposure of programs by age group, addressing underlying structural issues, the involvement of gatekeepers and duty-bearers, and confidence-building can increase adolescent girls' nutrition knowledge and attitudes.
