Self-reported health and health risky behaviour of Roma adolescents in Slovakia: a comparison with the non-Roma

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

We used a cross-sectional study design, and compared a sample of Roma adolescents (N=330; boys 48.5%; mean age=14.50, SD=1.03) with non-Roma adolescents (N=722; boys 53.2%; mean age=14.86, SD=0.63). Compared to non-Roma adolescents Roma adolescents reported poorer self-rated health, more accidents and injuries and more frequent use of healthcare, though fewer health complaints, higher social support from
