Health, Environment and Lifestyle Among Youth in Sogn og Fjordane, 2012

The purpose of this project was to obtain data that could be used to promote health, well-being, social and environmental conditions, to prevent mental and somatic illness, injury or suffering, and to contribute to the equalization of social health inequalities. The project addresses in particular two important challenges for which more research is needed. First, that more and more young people are obese and overweight. In addition, too many Norwegian young people do not complete upper secondary school and thus are more exposed to health problems as adults. The main objective was to investigate self-reported health and quality of life as well as factors that can influence this. The study was carried out as a collaboration between Sogn og Fjordane County Municipality, the municipalities of upper secondary schools in Sogn og Fjordane, Sogn og Fjordane University College, Helse Førde and the University of Bergen.

本项目旨在获取可用于改善健康、福祉、社会及环境状况的数据，以预防心理与躯体疾病、伤害或痛苦，并助力消除社会健康不平等现象。该项目特别针对两个亟需更多研究的重要挑战：其一，越来越多的青少年存在肥胖及超重问题；其二，挪威青少年中未完成高中教育的比例过高，导致其成年后更易面临健康问题。项目的主要目标是调查自我报告的健康状况与生活质量，以及影响这些指标的相关因素。本研究由松恩-菲尤拉讷郡市政当局、松恩-菲尤拉讷郡各高中所在市政当局、松恩-菲尤拉讷大学学院、菲尤拉讷健康局（Helse Førde）及卑尔根大学合作开展。
