A new report from ScotPHO - a collaboration by ISD Scotland, NHS Health Scotland, the Glasgow Centre for Population Health, National Records of Scotland, and Health Protection Scotland - uses data from HBSC Scotland to understand mental health and its contextual factors for Scottish children and young people. It will enable evidence-informed decision making for mental health improvement policy and planning by providing the focus for ongoing and future actions.
The report, entitled “Scotland's mental health: Children and young people 2013”, analyses a broad range of indicators covering mental health (mental wellbeing and mental health problems) and its context (including individual, family, learning environment, community and structural factors). Analyses of equalities, by age, gender, area-based deprivation and urban-rural classification were undertaken for mental health outcomes and a description of contextual factors by age and gender is also reported.
