Improving the Health of Young Canadians

Improving the Health of Young Canadians, the first individual report in the Improving the Health of Canadians 2005-2006 Report Series, highlights research relevant to understanding adolescent health and development. Analyzing data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY) and the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS), this report explores the association between positive assets in adolescents' social environments and their health behaviours and outcomes.
