Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the association between physical and social factors and the frequency of headaches and stomachaches among school-aged children in the US. In particular, I looked at how both physical and psychosocial factors influence health outcomes in order to identify ways to decrease health risks among early adolescents.
