Methods: Data from the study Life &amp; Health \u2013 Young People conducted in a Swedish county in 2011 was used. The survey included all students in grades 7 (13\u201314 years) and 9 (15\u201316 years) in compulsory school and grade 2 (17\u201318 years) in upper secondary school; there were 7793 respondents (81.0%). The students answered a questionnaire anonymously during school hours. Various measures of mental health were assessed in the groups: hard of hearing, visual impairment, motor impairment, difficulties in reading\/writing\/dyslexia, attention deficit hyperactive disorder\/attention deficit disorder, other impairment, no impairment. Results: Of the studied impairments, difficulties in reading\/writing\/dyslexia are the most common (6.3%), followed by hard of hearing (5.4%). To have at least one impairment is more common among boys (18.2%) than girls (15.4%). In the impairment group, 21.5% have multiple impairments. Adolescents with impairments have worse mental health than those without, and those with multiple impairments have particularly higher odds ratio to have worse mental health. There are also differences in mental health between number and various kinds of impairments and between girls and boys. Conclusion: Adolescents with impairments, particularly girls and those with multiple impairments, have considerably worse mental health than others. These inequalities in health are an immense challenge, not only for those directly involved with the impaired: they affect everyone involved with the goal health equity for the whole population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1403494815589219","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,30]],"date-time":"2015-07-30T21:30:31Z","timestamp":1438291831000},"page":"728-735","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Disparities in mental health among adolescents with and without impairments"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"Margareta","family":"Lind\u00e9n-Bostr\u00f6m","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for Sustainable Development, Region \u00d6rebro County, Faculty of Medicine and Health, \u00d6rebro University, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carina","family":"Persson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for Sustainable Development, Region \u00d6rebro County, Faculty of Medicine and Health, \u00d6rebro University, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1403494815589219","volume-title":"Convention on the Rights of the Child","author":"United Nations","year":"1989"},{"key":"bibr2-1403494815589219","volume-title":"Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities","author":"United Nations","year":"2006"},{"key":"bibr3-1403494815589219","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(07)60368-7"},{"key":"bibr4-1403494815589219","volume-title":"Social determinants of health and well-being among young people","author":"Currie C","year":"2012"},{"key":"bibr5-1403494815589219","volume-title":"Inequalities in young people\u2019s health.
