The Young Health Programme primarily focuses on addressing the risk behaviours of young people that can lead to non-communicable disease (NCD). The risk behaviours include tobacco use, alcohol abuse, unhealthy eating and physical inactivity. These are the causes of NCD like cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
