Supplementary notes

Painkillers in this context refers to analgesics e.g. Panadol, Nurofen, or Disprin.

Changes to the national survey methodology for 2022/2023 (pen and paper to online survey).

Data collection spread across two academic years (previously a single academic year used).

The smaller number of schools and students used in the 2022/2023 survey reduces the precision of prevalence estimates.
