Young People in Cumbria 06

Health Related Behaviour Questionnaire

 

·          Young people in Cumbria are more likely to talk to parents and teachers about drugs than in the rest of the UK.

 

·          They are more conscious of what they eat and are showing signs of reducing the level of illegal drug use and smoking. 

 

·          However, the steady rise in the amount of alcohol they are drinking is cause for concern. 

 

These are some of the key findings of the largest survey ever undertaken in the county into the health related behaviour of 9 - 15 year olds in Cumbria.

 

The report, which was commissioned by Cumbria Healthy Schools and the Drug and Alcohol Action Team, provides a detailed snapshot of the lifestyles of young people in the county.
