HOW WE LIVE NOW: THE CHALLENGE OF YOUTH CULTURE AND LIVING IN THE MODERN WORLD
In this issue, we touch in various ways on the condition of children and young people and how contemporary culture affects their public health.

These account for 1.2 million deaths annually worldwide and 127 000 in the European region, with a particular impact on under 25 year olds. For every death 20 people are hospitalised and 70 require outpatient treatment. Yet injury prevention is barely on the radar of Departments of Health.
