| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS aoR0x0h6. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objective : To assess the impact of country material distribution on adolescents'perceptions of health. Design : Cross sectional multilevel study. Setting : Data were collected from the school based health behaviour in school aged children : WHO cross national study 1997/98, which includes students from 27 European and North American countries. Participants : 12 0381 students in year 6,8, and 10 who were attending school classes on the day of data collection. Main result : Adolescents in countries with a high dispersion of family affluence were more likely to have self rated poor health even after controlling for individual family level of affluence and family social resources. Conclusion : There are substantial inequalities in subjective health across European and North American countries related to the distribution of family material resources in these countries. |
