This publication draws on a range of data sources, including the UK census, the Health Survey for England and the National Population Survey, to find out about adolescent experiences in the UK. It focuses primarily on the lives of young people aged between 10 and 20, with data for some topics extending upwards to age 24. The data highights important facts about the experience of adolescence in the UK today and suggest ways in which outcomes can be improved. It should be viewed through the lens of adolescent development (physical, cognitive and emotional). It provides information on demographics; the social determinants of health; health behaviour; sexual health (sexual activity, contraception and sexually transmitted infections); mental health (including self-harm and suicide, conduct and behaviour disorders, ADHD, and eating disorders); long term conditions (asthma, diabetes, epilepsy and cancer) and disability; and health care (health promotion, hospital admission, transition and palliative care). Charts are used to illustrate the data throughout. It has been produced with the support of the Child and Maternal Intelligence Network and Public Health England (PHE). (Original abstract)

Explores the issues related to public and patient involvement in primary care. Begins by describing the theoretical and policy contexts that are shaping user involvement currently; why user involvement is regarded as important; and its role in primary care at organisation level and in the individual consultation. Moves on to consider a range of case studies of involvement of different types of user, including women, members of ethnic minorities, older people and people with mental health problems. Concludes with an overview of the challenges remaining and suggestions for future development.
