The family and the family environment have a strong influence on the psychological, social and health-related development of young people. The composition and structure of the family, as well as the relationships among individual family members, affect the health of children, adolescents, and young adults. But which specific characteristics contribute to health inequalities and in what combination? The collaborative project "Institutional Contexts, Health, and Health Inequalities in Young People. A life stage approach." brings together leading scientists* from six universities and research institutions.

The project is the first DFG-funded research group in the field of medical sociology / public health research.
