Women's health and wellbeing report
Women and girls make up over half of Jersey's population and are known to spend more years in poor health than their male counterparts.
Although this needs assessment focuses mainly on women aged 18 and over, there is analysis included which covers girls mainly in the teenage years where there are known disparities, for example poor mental health or low uptake of physical activity.
The main report on women's health and wellbeing was published on Wednesday 18 December 2024.
The report outlines key findings regarding the health and wellbeing challenges faced by women, incorporating evidence gathered through a combination of surveys, focus groups, and public consultation.
It's important to note that the main report does not provide recommendations. Its focus is on presenting a robust evidence base that can be used by decision makers in government and the community.
