Health: Young People
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the contribution of the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Public Health on 7 November 2013, Official Report, column 476, on standardised tobacco packaging, which risk behaviours the dedicated youth marketing programme will be aimed at discouraging.
- Answer
-
Public Health England has adopted a holistic approach for its Youth Marketing Programme, moving from tackling single issues to taking a life-stage approach. The programme focuses on building young people’s resilience, and challenging specific risky behaviour which impacts on their development, health and well-being. Topics addressed include smoking, substance misuse, alcohol and sex and relationships.
In addition, the programme addresses issues such as bullying, exam pressure, self-harm and body confidence that has been shown to affect the physical and mental well-being of young people. Over time, it is likely that a broader range of health issues including diet and physical exercise will be covered by the programme.
