Additional Notes
The YHP is a valuable tool for young people to gain insight into their health status and make positive changes to improve their overall well-being. It is important to be honest when completing the questionnaire, as this will ensure that the results are accurate and personalized recommendations can be provided. Additionally, the YHP is not a substitute for regular medical check-ups, and young people should continue to see their healthcare provider as needed for routine health care.
