The National Youth Health Programme wish to produce a comprehensive and definitive bibliography of published and unpublished studies, post-graduate theses, and other research studies related to youth health promotion in the youth work sector in Ireland. This bibliography will act as a foundation for an in-depth evaluation of Irish research on youth health promotion. This will assist in identifying gaps in policy and practice, planning future projects and reduce duplication of research.  The Health Promotion research centre based in NUI Galway will collate this bibliography of research studies which will then be published in the format of an online database.
