An estimated 16% of all 14-year olds in the UK in 2015 suffered from mental ill-health. Research which identified the scale of mental ill-health among the UK's adolescents, and studied its drivers, has focused national attention on the problem, prompting new government policy and strategies for improving young people's mental health.
