“…Self -rated health: A strong association was found between poor selfrated health, school dropout and risk of receiving medical or non -medical benefits (De Ridder et al, 2012). Another study found that self -rated health status had an impact on success with later employment (Hammer 1997).…”

“…Oppfølging av denne gruppen fra skolehelsetjenesten kan vaere viktig for å forebygge forverring og tilrettelegge for å styrke HRLK og egenvurdert helse. Det vises til at det er sammenheng med dårlig selvrapportert helse hos ungdom og frafall i skolen (29). Spesielt overganger er utfordrende.…”

“…Man peker på at jenter har lavere psykososial helse og selvtillit (9,19), og forskning viser også at det er jenter som uttrykker mest somatisering av psykososiale problemer (10,15,29). Forskning på mulige årsaker til kjønnsforskjeller i HRLK peker på at kvinner synes å oppleve sterkere emosjonell intensitet enn menn.…”

Health-related quality of life in adolescents` first year in high schoolBackground: Knowledge about adolescents' health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is crucial in a preventive and health promoting perspective. However, few studies have investigated HRQOL among adolescents in Norway. Objective:To increase knowledge about HRQOL among adolescents by investigating their HRQOL and identify factors of importance for their HRQOL.Method: Cross-sectional study including 189 adolescents, age mainly 15-16 years of age. HRQOL was measured by KIDSCREEN-10. T-test and chi-squared test were applied to investigate differences in groups based on respectively demographic variables and cut-off values for HRQOL. Multiple regression analysis was used to investigate associations between socio-demographic variables and HRQOL. Results:The mean value for HRQOL was 71.1 (range 0 -100) and for selfassessed health 2.89 (range 0-4). A total of 17 % reported HRQOL below the lower threshold.The girls reported significantly lower mean HRQOL and self-reported health than did the boys (for both p=<0.001). The multiple regression analysis revealed that gender and frequent relocation were significantly associated with HRQOL with unstandardized beta and p-value respectively 8,682, p=< 0.001 and -6,978, p=0.014. Conclusion:Most adolescents experience good HRQOL. The study indicates that school health services should be aware of the development of girls` HRQOL and of adolescents that report lower HRQOL.

“…Also, children with less severe problems who do not meet criteria for a psychiatric disorder, have increased risk of adverse outcomes [13]. The probability of young people returning to employment after receiving health-related benefits in their early years is low [2,4], thus they are in danger of social exclusion and marginalisation. Therefore, studying mechanisms and identifying possible factors that may be targets for prevention aiming to reduce the receipt of medical benefits in young adulthood are important, both from a socio-economic and from an individual perspective.…”

“…In Norway, the unemployment rate is low, but the proportion of young adults receiving medical benefits is worrying [2]. School drop-out is prevalent [3], and is a risk factor for welfare dependency [4]. Mental health problems are a major contributor to health related disability in children and youth [5,6], and mental health problems in adolescence are risk factors for school drop-out [3,[7][8][9][10].…”

Background: Mental health problems in adolescence are associated with impaired function in young adulthood. Our aim was to assess how a hypothetical reduction in mental health problems in adolescence was related to medical benefits in young adulthood and to examine the mediating role of completion of upper secondary school. Methods: We used a population-based sample of more than 10,000 10th-grade adolescents with self-reported data on internalizing and externalizing mental health problems. The sample was linked to the Norwegian national registers of education and medical benefits. The mediation analysis was based on a causal inference framework. Results: During a three-year period in young adulthood, 6.4% of men and 5.9% of women received medical benefits. A two-point hypothetical reduction in externalizing problems was related to a lower probability of receiving medical benefits of 1.5 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.0-2.1) percentage points in young men and 1.8 (95% CI 1.3-2.3) percentage points in young women. The proportion mediated by the completion of upper secondary school was 52% (95% CI 36-76) among boys and 42% (95% CI 29-60) among girls. The corresponding reduction in the probability of receiving medical benefits was 1.8 percentage points for internalizing problems in both sexes (95% CI boys 1.2-2.4 and girls 1.4-2.2). The proportion mediated was lower for internalizing problems and was only significant among girls (19%). Conclusions: Intervention and prevention strategies targeting internalizing and externalizing problems in adolescents may have the potential to reduce the receipt of medical benefits in young adulthood. The completion of upper secondary school seems to be a mechanism for this association, especially for externalizing problems.

School dropout: a major public health challenge: a 10-year prospective study on medical and non-medical social insurance benefits in young adulthood, the Young-HUNT 1 Study (Norway)

Abstract: The strong association between poor self-rated health in adolescence, high school dropout and reduced work integration needs attention and suggests preventive measures on an individual as well as on a societal level.
