How does the sexual, physical and mental health of young adults not in education, employment or training (NEET) compare to workers and students?

Abstract

Harmful health behaviours (men) and poor health outcomes (women) clustered more in those who are NEET. This points to a possible syndemic effect of NEET status on general ill health, especially for women. Our paper is novel in highlighting that elevated risk pertains to sexual as well as mental and physical health.
