The results of the study show that the low value of IPPs in the health and welfare domain in Yogyakarta is caused by the lack of health education, limited access to mental health services, permissive social norms for risky behavior, and peer influence are the main challenges and also limited resources in implementing policies, especially in suburban areas. Evaluation of government policies and programs such as health campaigns, training, and socialization programs has not been fully effective, especially in changing social norms and behaviors among adolescents.
