“Not only standing for, but standing up for diversity”
“Alright, that’s enough now, because it’s not fair”
BACKGROUND: Colombia is one of the most unequal countries in Latin America, with Bogotá exemplifying the urban concentration of structural and intersectional inequalities. Adolescents living in marginalised areas of the city face vulnerabilities due to overlapping systems of oppression, including classism, racism, sexism, and xenophobia. The COVID-19 pandemic further exacerbated these disparities, heightening socioeconomic stressors and influenci…

LGBTQIA+ Adolescents’ Perceptions of Gender Tailoring and Portrayal in a Virtual-Reality-Based Alcohol-Prevention Tool
Gender-sensitive interventions in alcohol-prevention that target adolescents often lead to binary tailoring for girls and boys. However, increased societal and legal recognition of sexual and gender minorities as well as research with this age group demand a broader understanding of gender. Therefore, the present study addresses the question of how interventions should be further developed to include sexual and gender diversity by exploring LGBTQ…
Study Protocol for the SC-SD4ASA Project
From 2015 to 2016, about 1. 3 million refugees arrived in Europe. Half of them were children under the age of 18. The combination of (specially forced) migration and adolescence increase the risk of psychological problems among refugees including asylum-seeking children and adolescents. Therefore, along with the significant increase in the number of refugees, investigating effective ways to improve their health status has grown. The planned proje…

Mental health problems might be interrelated with this phase of doubt. Counselling services at German universities could provide help, but do not seem to reach students in need. To explore the phase of doubt and possible (inter-)relationships with mental wellbeing among university students in Germany as well as their…
