This is the second national report on the health and wellbeing of young people
in Australia. It provides comprehensive information on the health status of
young people including causes of hospitalisations and deaths, chronic diseases,
infectious diseases, injury, disability, reproductive and sexual health. The
behavioural risk and protective factors influencing young people's health and
wellbeing that are covered in this report include substance use, diet and
nutrition, physical activity and overweight and obesity. Social conditions are
also important determinants of health. The report therefore includes information
on the family environment, relationships and social participation, education,
employment and income. An overview of the health and welfare of Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander young people is also presented.
