| सारांश: | This qualitative study was initiated to explore adolescent girls' perceptions about wellbeing.
A part of the BRAC-ICDDR,B joint research project on health and well-being, the
study was done purposively in two villages of Matlab Thana among the adolescent girls
of BRAC School aged from 11 to 14 years. Mainly Focus Group Discussions (FGD) were
done for data collection, but during FGDs, freelisting and importance rating exercises
were conducted as well. In the study the adolescent girls presented a set of indicators of
well-being condition from their perspective. They highly prioritized some indicators for
better living like father s/brothers income, good relations with the family members,
healthy body without any illness and education. In developing linkages between the
identified indicators, they started with two points i.e. father' s/brother's income and
income from own poultry and shared livestock. The girls pointed out some
socioeconomic and cultural barriers to achieve a well-being condition. However, the
study suggested that the findings could be useful to design or measure the effect of
interventions on adolescent's well-being.
