The Young-HUNT Survey is the adolescent part of the HUNT Study, including participants aged 13-19 years. The Young-HUNT1 survey (1995-97) was conducted as part of  the HUNT2 survey. 9141 adolescents participated (90% response rate). The Young-HUNT2 Survey (1999-2000) was a follow-up study, and 2400 students participated in both studies (77% of the invited). The Young-HUNT3 Survey (2006-08) was a new cross-sectional study as part of the HUNT3 Survey. This time 8677 adolescents participated (87% response rate). Data collection included self-reported questionnaires, structured interviews, clinical measurements and, in Young-HUNT3, buccal smears.

The main topics in Young-HUNT were asthma and allergies, mental health and quality of life, eating disorders and psychosomatic disorders with special emphasis on headaches.
