This report reviews the work completed on defining and identifying indicators of healthy and accomplished young people, summarizes the research on opportunities and supports that help young people achieve desirable outcomes, and outlines implications for political and community leaders. The authors hope that the information presented in this report will give community and political leaders the "empirical justification" to develop and enact initiatives based on the true developmental needs of young people.
