Women’s health and wellbeing

​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.​
