Are today’s children worse off than generations past? That seems to be the dominant consensus according to the results of a new survey which looked at how adults perceive children’s health.
Conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan, the poll asked 2,700 adults questions about their perceptions of children growing up in the US today.
“We found that adults in the U.S. broadly agree: children’s health today seems worse than for children over the past several decades,” said study author Matthew M. Davis in a statement.
