Adolescent self-rated health predicts general practice attendance in adulthood: Results from the Young-HUNT1 survey.

CONCLUSIONS: SRH in adolescence is a predictor for general practitioner consultations in adult life. Previous research shows that SRH is influenced by factors such as well-being, health behaviour, functional status and body satisfaction. Intervention studies are needed to evaluate whether population-based and clinical interventions can improve SRH by improving these factors among adolescents.
