The Health of Children and Young People
Product
A volume of chapters examining health related topics specific to children and adolescents. It brings together statistics from ONS, other government departments and other organisations to provide comprehensive information on children's health and well-being.
There are 13 chapters, each focusing on different aspects of health: child population, provision and use of services, diet, nutrition, dental health and exercise, drug-use, smoking and drinking, infectious diseases, adolescent sexual health, asthma and allergic diseases, social inequalities, infant and childhood mortality, disability, congenital anomalies, mental health and childhood cancer. The commentary is illustrated with figures and tables, some of which contain statistics at sub-national level.
