Residents with weak social relations and non-Western origin simultaneously were more likely to report poor SRH in the social housing area specifically bu…

Community-based health promotion interventions developed in collaboration with the target group and adjusted to the local context can affect the acceptance of and engagement in such interventions. However, few studie…
