Existential Health and Youth

Health and well-being have gradually declined among young people in Sweden in recent decades. At the same time, the concept of existential health has become interesting in research to understand and promote the life situation of young people. The network brings together researchers in psychology, religious studies, law, palliative care, social medicine, literary studies, gender studies, informatics and media, and educational sociology to take a collective approach to research on young people's health. The network also includes a group of young people who will be active participants in the research process.
