Measure
Individual health complaints: headache
Health complaints: headache, while explored individually here, is part of the broader ‘Multiple health complaints’ measure.
Investigating the occurrence of headaches in adolescents can illuminate potential physical and mental stressors, such as dehydration, poor vision, or stress. Insight into headache frequency and its correlation with other factors like academic pressure or screen time is vital to developing holistic health strategies that address both the physical symptoms and underlying causes.
