Thông tin chi tiết
Tóm tắt : | This publication presents and discusses the findings of a major cross-national study focused on the health-related behaviour of young people in Europe and North America. The study, which was coordinated by the World Health Organization, collected data on over 100 000 children aged 11, 13, and 15 years, living in 24 countries. The result is a unique database on health-related attitudes, behaviours and practices presented in a way that facilitates comparisons between countries and the sexes, rankings of countries according to healthy behaviours, and the identification of changing attitudes and behaviours as students age. Comparative findings are set out in over 120 tables and figures, which greatly facilitate interpretation of the wealth of data reported. The study’s conceptual framework and rigorous protocol are described in the opening chapter, which also explains how findings can help guide the development of policies and programmes for youth. The major findings of the study are then presented and discussed in seven chapters focused on specific attitudes and behaviours known to influence health. The report concludes with a summary of major findings and their policy implications. x, 222 p. |
