We investigate how family and social networks influence well-being and health outcomes among young adults. The programme explores patterns of family formation, the impact of family stability on health and social well-being, and the effects of childhood family networks on high-risk behaviours. Our hypothesis is that family networks significantly shape young adults’ health outcomes, with early instability potentially leading to negative effects in adulthood and influencing their own family formation.

The programme is funded by TrygFonden.
