Changes in self-rated health and its association with social determinants – repeated cross-sectional surveys among Finnish adolescents from 1981 to 2025
There are a lack of a societal perspective and a comprehensive approach to adolescents’ wellbeing and their declining mental health. We study here changes in Finnish adolescents’ self-rated health (SRH) in 1981–2025, and how SRH associated with societal changes, and sociodemographic and school-related factors during these years. Two data sets of 14-year-old Finns were used: nationwide postal/internet surveys 1981–2019 (N = 28 960) and school-surv…
Inequalities in adolescent mental health and allocation of students to selective classes in comprehensive schools in Finland
BACKGROUND: Lower socioeconomic positions (SEP) and poor academic achievement increase children's risk for mental health problems. The Finnish education system is officially non-selective and unified, but a part of children can be selected into emphasised teaching classes by aptitude tests, which are known to segregate students by SEP and academic achievement. We study here if allocation of students to mainstream and selective classes segregates …
Selective Classes and Early Health Inequalities in Comprehensive Schools in Finland
BACKGROUND: The origin of inequalities in health outcomes has been explained by health selection and social causation models. Health selection processes operate particularly at school age. We study, if student allocation to teaching groups with aptitude tests (selective vs general class) differentiates adolescents by health behaviors and mental health. METHODS: Finnish schoolchildren 12-13 years from 12 selective classes, n = 248; 41 general clas…
School and class closures and adolescent mental health during the second and later waves of the Covid-19 pandemic in Finland

The duration of closure had a small effect, too. The non-binary gender had lowest mental health, but the influence of school closure on mental health was mainly similar between the genders. School closures are one of the factors in adolesc…
