  K.G. Santhya, Population Council, IndiaK.G. Santhya discussed the unique reproductive and health problems of adolescent married women in India which have not received due importance in research and policy circles.She gave insights into the reasons behind the vulnerability of these women such as lack of awareness, limited autonomy, absence of a peer network and limited recourse to institutional health facilities.She highlighted the importance of a holistic approach targeting couples, their relatives and the community at large to improve the health of married adolescent women.She cited the example of the ,First Time Parents Project' involving young women and their spouses in rural Gujrat and West Bengal.
