Youth Health Fact

Of those Fraser South/East youth who indicated in the McCreary 2008 BC Adolescent Health Survey* that they felt they had needed medical help in the past year, 13% reported that they did not seek it. The top 3 reasons cited were:

• Thought or hoped problem would go away: 56%
• Afraid of what doctor would say or do: 25%
• Didn’t want parents to know: 18%

*Among school districts in Fraser South and East, Abbotsford and Chilliwack chose not to participate in the 2008 McCreary British Columbia Adolescent Health Survey.
