Special Offer Price - £19.99 Normal Price £34.00

Key Data on Adolescence provides us with a vital reference document. We find its combination of easy to access statistics and helpful commentary extremely valuable.
Karen Turner, Children and Young People's Public Health, Department of Health

Key Data on Adolescence 2007 is the 6th edition of this essential publication. It contains up to the minute information on all aspects of young people in Britain today. Past editions have been described as "an incredibly rich source of relevant data" and "a definitive national resource". This most recent edition contains some "good news" stories, as teenage pregnancy rates have been declining, and suicide rates among young men are also down. However on the "bad news" side, obesity rates are very worrying, as are the levels of alcohol use and sexually transmitted diseases. If you carry out research, or work with young people, you cannot afford to be without this publication.
