Pathways, policies and practice through the lifecourse (Bristol , 2006; online edn, Policy Press Scholarship Online, 22 Mar. 2012), https://doi.org/10.1332/policypress/9781861346742.003.0008, accessed 18 Apr. 2025.
Abstract
This chapter examines the influence of youth culture on social class differences in health behaviours. The findings indicate that problematic risk behaviours such as smoking and hard drug misuse during youth are strongly associated with social deprivation and that dietary patterns during childhood and youth vary significantly according to socio-economic status. It also considers the impact of two factors of the socio-economic trajectories of children and young people: education and the experience of being in care.
