Health and well‐being of secondary school students in <scp>N</scp>ew <scp>Z</scp>ealand: Trends between 2001, 2007 and 2012

Abstract

There have been important improvements in the health and well-being of New Zealand adolescents over a relatively short period. These findings demonstrate that population rates of adolescent risk behaviours are amenable to change. Current policy efforts should not lose momentum, while identified priority areas must be adequately resourced to ensure young people have opportunities to thrive now and in the future.
