McCreary has just released Concussions and BC youth’s mental health, the latest of our fact sheets using BC Adolescent Health Survey (BC AHS) data. We have also recently released fact sheets on BC youth's sense of safety on transit, and their experiences with eating disorders, FASD, and sleep.
Concussions and BC youth’s mental health uses BC AHS data to look at the prevalence of mental health challenges among BC youth who experienced a concussion, as well as their access to treatment and the supports linked to more positive mental health. Download the fact sheet here.
Understanding and supporting BC youth with an eating disorder shares findings from the BC AHS about the experiences of BC youth with an eating disorder, and supports that can contribute to more positive mental health and well-being for these youth. Download the fact sheet here.
BC youth’s sense of safety on public transit shares findings from the BC AHS about BC youth’s experiences using public transit, including their feeling of safety on transit. For example, it explores which youth are less likely to feel safe on transit, such as gender and sexual minority youth, those living in poverty, and those with a disability.

Sleep among BC youth uses BC AHS data to identify challenges youth might experience to getting at least 8 hours of sleep and uninterrupted sleep, as well as factors associated with getting a better night’s sleep. Download the fact sheet here.
Experiences of BC youth with FASD uses BC AHS data to describe challenges that youth with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) are more likely to experience compared to youth without FASD. It also identifies supports and protective factors that can contribute to the health and well-being of youth with FASD. Download the fact sheet here.
