Sažetak
The paper presents some of the results of an international comparative study on adolescent health and well being, with particular focus on youth with refugee/immigrant experience who face particular challenges, those common to most adolescents and those experienced after traumatic events by newcomers to a country, related to their cultural traditions and social/cultural identity. It looks at group-specific differences within different socio-cultural contexts across six European countries: two EU members with stable democracies and high long-term immigration rates (Italy and Austria) and four post-conflict communities in the state of socioeconomic and political transition (Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania and Kosovo. Key research questions refer to the assessment of risk and protective factors affecting psychosocial health of immigrant adolescents within family, school and community settings, and in highly divergent cultural and contextual settings of different countries. An international standard screening survey as a tool to identify adolescents who may benefit from medical or mental health services was developed to measure youth outcomes in terms of general health, risk behavior, psychological distress and resilience. The study has identified a range of specific risk and protective factors associated with various settings (family, school, community) and additional to those recognized as relevant to adolescents generally, which are uncovering a complex interaction between the young person, their family, and their social, economic and cultural environments.
