About this workshop

Adolescence is a pivotal stage of life, with long‑term impacts on health, wellbeing and life chances. Yet paediatric practice often pays less attention to this period than to other stages of childhood.

BiB’s Age of Wonder part of the Born in Bradford suite of cohort studies is the UK’s largest ever study of adolescent health, following 30,000 young people as they navigate teenage life. In this workshop we will present the first Age of Wonder Data Notes, explore key findings on the state of adolescent health, and engage participants in discussion about what these insights mean for paediatrics and clinical practice.
