Description

This comprehensive cross-ministry report prepared by the Child Health Surveillance Project Data Group provides a snapshot of the health of Alberta’s children in 2005. Alberta’s children enjoy excellent health overall. However, there are some areas of concern. Some children are subjected to abuse and/or neglect; many children are overweight or inactive; some children contract sexually transmitted infections; and many children experience hospitalizations and emergency room visits due to injuries. Statistics are presented on a wide variety of topics, gathered into three main categories: health determinants, health status, and health service utilization.
