Short Guide to 2004 Health Indicators Report (PDF, 134K, 35 secs)
This report focuses on children's health. A wide range of topics under this general heading are covered, though no attempt has been made to provide an exhaustive guide to children's health. Some indicators have already been included in previous reports (eg obesity in children), others are covered for the first time (eg unintentional injury). Some information on the health of mothers is also included. There are indicators on:
- stillbirth and death within the first weeks of life
- teenage pregnancy
- depression and anxiety after giving birth
- obesity in children
- young people admitted to hospital for diabetes
- children admitted to hospital for asthma
- unintentional injury in children
- prescribing antibiotics for children
- prescribing for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
The Short Guide offers a summary for each topic, including the key national findings. More detailed information, such as for specific regions of the country, is included in the full report.
The full indicator reports, together with four established indicators that are updated regularly, are available from the website of the Clinical Indicators Support Team: www.show.scot.nhs.uk/indicators
