In this section we provide a unique collection of data illustrating the differences that young people aged 10-24 can experience in their physical and mental health outcomes.
We look at some classic public health outcomes (alcohol, smoking and drug use) where there is less evidence for inequalities. We then move to obesity, conception and births, dental health, mental health, and morbidity, where the evidence is starker.
In order to highlight the associations in the clearest way, the charts have both the raw data and also a ‘trend line’ to indicate the association, if any, between area deprivation and outcomes. The trend line is drawn using a formula that finds a line that best fits the data points.
