Bright Futures priorities – 12 Years

  • Social determinants of health (risks [interpersonal violence, living situation and food security, family substance use], strengths and protective factors [connectedness with family and peers, connectedness with community, school performance, coping with stress and decision-making])
  • Physical growth and development (oral health, body image, healthy eating, physical activity and sleep)
  • Emotional well-being (mood regulation and mental health, sexuality)
  • Risk reduction (pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections; tobacco, e-cigarettes, alcohol, prescription or street drugs; acoustic trauma)
  • Safety (seat belt and helmet use, sun protection, substance use and riding in a vehicle, firearm safety)
