Maternal Smoking During Pregnancy and Adverse Childhood Experiences
These results highlight the long-lasting consequences of adversities encountered in early life, which can shape the smoking behaviors of women even during the critical stages of their own pregnancy. There is a need for tobacco control interventions among the most vulnerable that extend beyond the traditional services and address deeply rooted factors from past experiences

The Adolescent Concept of Social Participation-A Qualitative Study on the Concept of Social Participation from Adolescents with and without Physical Disabilities
Purpose The construct of social participation is still not clearly defined. To reach a better understanding of social participation, the perspectives of adolescents must be taken into account. This study explores the adolescent concept of social participation and expands knowledge of the meaning of subjective components of the term. Methods Thirty-four semi-structured interviews were conducted with adolescents with and without physical disabiliti…
Inequalities in adolescent self-rated health and smoking in Europe
BACKGROUND: Although there is evidence for socioeconomic inequalities in health and health behaviour in adolescents, different indicators of socioeconomic status (SES) have rarely been compared within one data sample. We examined associations of five SES indicators with self-rated health (SRH) and smoking (ie, a leading cause of health inequalities) in Europe. METHODS: Data of adolescents aged 14-17 years old were obtained from the 2013 SILNE sur…
Improving Rehabilitative Care of Methamphetamine Users in Germany
Methamphetamine is one of the most frequently used drugs worldwide. In Germany, methamphetamine use has greatly increased in recent years, presenting the rehabilitative treatment system with new challenges. In this study, we identified deficits and possibilities for optimization in the field of medical rehabilitation. A total of 39 interviews and two focus groups with experts along the treatment course of methamphetamine users were conducted. Our…
Is being a “small fish in a big pond” bad for students ́ psychosomatic health? A multilevel study on the role of class-level school performance
This study revealed that class composition in terms of PSP was differentially associated with students ́ psychosomatic complaints, depending on their individual PSP. Findings highlight the vulnerability of students with poor PSP placed in classes with a higher percentage of students with good PSP. Results of this study therefore indicate a need for initiatives for low performing students from teachers and school staff in class

School smoking policies and educational inequalities in smoking behaviour of adolescents aged 14–17 years in Europe
BACKGROUND: Studies on the effects of school smoking policies are inconclusive and there is no research on whether the effects of school policies vary by educational level. We examined the association between school smoking policies and smoking behaviour among adolescents aged 14-17 years in Europe and assessed educational inequalities in these associations. METHODS: Data on 10,325 adolescents from 50 schools in six European cities were obtained …
Is educational differentiation associated with smoking and smoking inequalities in adolescence? A multilevel analysis across 27 European and North American countries
This study aims to determine whether educational differentiation (i.e. early and long tracking to different school types) relate to socioeconomic inequalities in adolescent smoking. Data were collected from the WHO ‐Collaborative ‘Health Behaviour in School‐aged Children ( HBSC )’ study 2005/2006, which included 48,025 15‐year‐old students (N boys = 23,008, N girls = 25,017) from 27 European and North American countries. Socioeconomic position wa…

The use of parental occupation in adolescent health surveys. An application of Isco-based measures of occupational status
BACKGROUND: Recent research has emphasised that the challenge in researching socioeconomic differences in adolescent health cross-nationally lies in providing valid and comparable measures of socioeconomic position (SEP) across regions. This study aims to examine measures of occupational status derived from the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO), alongside commonly used affluence measures in association with adolescent se…
Individual and spousal education, mortality and life expectancy in Switzerland
BACKGROUND: Household measures of socioeconomic position may better account for the shared nature of material resources, lifestyle, and social position of cohabiting persons, but household measures of education are rarely used. We aimed to evaluate the association of combined educational attainment of married couples on mortality and life expectancy in Switzerland. METHODS: The study included 3,496,163 ever-married persons aged ≥30 years. The 200…
Psychosocial and behavioural factors in the explanation of socioeconomic inequalities in adolescent health
BACKGROUND: The relative contribution of different pathways leading to health inequalities in adolescence was rarely investigated, especially in a cross-national perspective. The aim of the study is to analyse the contribution of psychosocial and behavioural factors in the explanation of inequalities in adolescent self-rated health (SRH) by family wealth in 28 countries. METHODS: This study was based on the international WHO 'Health Behaviour in …
Explaining socioeconomic differences in adolescent self-rated health
The findings show that the main explanatory approaches for adults also apply to adolescents. The direct and indirect contribution of material factors for inequalities in self-rated health was stronger than that of behavioural and psychosocial factors. Strategies for reducing health inequalities should primarily focus on improving material circumstances in lower affluent groups
Welfare state regimes, health and health inequalities in adolescence
Comparative research on health and health inequalities has recently started to establish a welfare regime perspective. The objective of this study was to determine whether different welfare regimes are associated with health and health inequalities among adolescents. Data were collected from the 'Health Behaviour in School-aged Children' study in 2006, including 11- to 15-year-old students from 32 countries (N = 141,091). Prevalence rates and mul…

Lines of Tradition and Recent Approaches to Urban Ecology, Focussing on Germany and the USA
This article draws a line from historical concepts of different urban ecology traditions to recent approaches of urban ecology. The overview presented here emphasises the following two aspects: 1. Urban ecology traditions have a close connection to the scientific and social context of their time as well as to the prevailing urban structures; 2. urban ecology research approaches have undergone a "scaling-up", i.e., approaches on different scales a…

Hamburg Tomb Text Workshop Introduction
2000年7月16日至19日,由美國西雅圖華盛頓大學的鮑則岳教授、漢堡大學的 傅敏怡教授與司徒漢教授共同組織的墓葬簡帛國際研討會在德國漢堡大學舉 行。會議的目的是,為從事古代中國墓葬簡帛研究的學者們提供一個交流學術 思想的機會。這些學者的研究重點各有側重,研究的角度各有不同。與會者探 討了不同的研究方法。這些方法進一步證明,不能孤立地看待不同的出土文 獻,而應該把它們看作是整體的一部分。就是説,必須考慮它們在相關墓葬文 獻與相關墓葬中的地位與作用,並結合其歷史背景進行绘釋。討論會的部分發 言稿經修改後在這裡發表
Gesundheit und Gesundheitsverhalten im Jugendalter
Über den Zusammenhang zwischen sozialer Ungleichheit und Gesundheit im Jugendalter ist bislang nur sehr wenig bekannt. Auf Basis der WHO-Studie "Health Behaviour in School-aged Children" stellt Matthias Richter repräsentative Daten über den Gesundheitszustand, das Gesundheitsverhalten und deren soziale Kontexte im Jugendalter bereit. Folgende Fragen stehen im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung: Lassen sich für deutsche Jugendliche ähnlich schwache Zusa…

Im Rahmen der Gesundheitsberichterstattung werden neben den bekannten statistischen Maßen der deskriptiven Statistik, wie z. B. relative Häufigkeiten und Mittelwerte, auch so genannte altersadjustierte Odds Ratios ausgewiesen. Diese werden zumeist durch binär logistische Regressionen ermittelt und geben an, um welchen Faktor das Risiko eines Gesundheitsproblems oder -ereignisses in der betrachteten Gruppe im Verhältnis zu einer definierten Refere…

Helicobacter pylori colonisation and eczema
The hygiene hypothesis postulates that the increase in atopic diseases may in part be due to diminished exposure to microorganisms. But it is unknown which type of infection does render protection. An epidemiological study was conducted in Leipzig, Germany, and its rural county, involving 3347 school starters. Two types of infection were considered: (1) gastrointestinal colonisation ( Helicobacter pylori detection using in vivo [ 13 C] urea breat…
