Experience of violence and self-rated health: Do youths disclose their experiences when visiting a Youth Centre in Sweden.

Conclusions: Youths who reported any type of violence during their lifetime showed lower self-rated health compared to those who were not exposed. Youth Centres have an important role in identifying youths who are exposed to violence and/or self-report their health as low. Still, only a minority of youths who have been exposed to violence told health professionals at a Youth Centre about it when asked. It is necessary to further investigate how the issues can be best addressed. PMID: 32456530 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
