Loneliness and Ethnic Composition of the School Class
Loneliness, immigration background and self-identified ethnicity
Migration is an increasing worldwide phenomenon that creates multicultural societies with a growing number of adolescents who have experienced a process of migration or who have an ethnic background other than that of the majority. Migration may lead to loss of social relations and create challenges related to acculturation in the new country. These experiences may induce feelings of loneliness. Research on ethnic and migrant disparities in lonel…
Pathways and mechanisms in adolescence contribute to adult health inequalities
Aims: This paper presents a model that encompasses pathways and mechanisms working over adolescence that contribute to adult health inequalities. We review evidence on the four mechanisms: socially differential exposure, tracking, socially differential tracking, and socially differential vulnerability. Methods: We conducted literature searches in English-language peer-reviewed journals using PubMed (from 1966 to May 2009) and PsycINFO, and combin…
Socioeconomic Inequality in Exposure to Bullying During Adolescence

The survey used standardized measures of exposure to bullying…

High symptom l…
Exposure to teachers smoking and adolescent smoking behaviour
Teachers smoking during school hours is associated with adolescent smoking. This finding has implications for future tobacco prevention strategies in schools in many countries with liberal smoking policies where it might provide support for those working to establish smokefree schools
Cohabitation and marital status as predictors of mortality-an eight year follow-up study
Tiredness as Determinant of Subsequent Use of Health and Social Services among Nondisabled Elderly People
Because tiredness in daily activities is related to subsequent hospitalization and use of home help, it should be taken seriously in preventive services among elderly people
