title = "The health profile of young persons in the Brussels‐Capital Region. A focus on social inequalities in the transition to adulthood",
abstract = "In this paper we draw a detailed picture of the health situation of the Brussels' young persons, differentiating where possible between late adolescents (18 to 24-year-olds) and young adults (25 to 30-year-olds). Using the data of HIS 2001, 2004 and 2008 we identify the magnitude of the health risks they encounter and examine if these risks are socially determined. We also briefly point to differences between the Brussels' youth and those of other Belgian regions.",
