Title of project:
Comparing health and health-related outcomes in adolescence between two generations in England (ALSPAC and MCS)
Proposal summary:
Many health related risky behaviours and precursors to adult health are initiated or first experienced in adolescence. In this project we aim to examine whether there are differences in the prevalence and distributions of a range of health related outcomes (mental health, smoking, alcohol, sleep, obesity etc) in two generations of English adolescents born a decade apart (early 1990s and early 2000s), to estimate whether there are differences between these groups, and if yes the extent of these differences between them.
