Socioeconomic differences in health and well-being of children and adolescents in Iceland
Sammanfattning
The study objective was to assess differences in health, healthcare use and well-being of children according to their socioeconomic situation by means of a cross-sectional survey. A questionnaire was sent to the parents of a nationally representative sample of 3,007 school children aged two to seventeen years. The association between socioeconomic situation and well-being in adulthood can already be detected in childhood, even in an egalitarian country with a homogeneous population.
