M. A1 - Hinz, Ina-Merle A1 - Spallek, Jacob T1 - Inclusion of migrants and ethnic minorities in European birth cohort studies - a scoping review T2 - The European Journal of Public Health N2 - Background: Migrant and ethnic minority groups constitute substantial parts of European populations. They frequently experience health disadvantages relative to the respective majority populations. Birth cohort studies can help to disentangle social and biological factors producing these health inequalities over the life course. We investigated whether birth cohorts in European countries (i) assess migration history and ethnicity in the study design; and (ii) use this information in data analyses. Methods: A scoping review was performed in which European birth cohort studies were identified using dedicated web-based registries, MEDLINE and EMBASE. Two reviewers systematically assessed all identified birth cohorts and selected those fulfilling defined inclusion criteria (e.g. enrolment after 1980). Publications and websites were screened for information on the inclusion of migrants and ethnic minorities. To obtain more detailed information, researchers of enrolled birth cohorts were contacted individually. Results: Eighty-eight birth cohorts were identified in 20 European countries, with more than 486 250 children enrolled in total. Sixty-two studies (70.5%) reported collecting data about migration history or ethnic background. Twenty-three studies (26%) used information on migration history or ethnicity for data analyses or plan to do so in future. Conclusion: The majority of European birth cohorts assessed participants’ migration history or ethnic background; however, this information was seldom used for comparative analyses in trying to disentangle reasons for health inequalities. Also, heterogeneous indicators were used. Better use of data already available, as well as harmonization of data collection on migration history and ethnicity, could yield interesting insights into the production of health inequalities.

Es werden gängige Erklärungsansätze für gesundheitliche Unterschiede zwischen Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund und der nicht migrierten Mehrheitsbevölkerung und ihre Grenzen erläutert. Schließlich wird aufgezeigt, dass zukünftige Modelle eine Lebenslaufperspektive enthalten und die epidemiologische Situation der Bevölkerung des Herkunftslandes berücksichtigen müssen.

In Germany, women are invited to the population-based mammography screening program between ages 50 to 69. It is still discussed whether the benefits of mammography screening outweigh its harms. Therefore, the concept of informed choice comprising knowledge, attitude and intention has gained importance. The objective of this observational study was to assess the proportion of informed choices among women invited to the German mammography screening program for the first time. A representative sample of 17,349 women aged 50 years from a sub-region of North Rhine Westphalia was invited to participate in a postal survey. Turkish immigrant women were oversampled. The effects of education level and migration status on informed choice and its components were assessed. 5,847 (33.7%) women responded to the postal questionnaire of which 4,113 were used for analyses. 31.5% of the women had sufficient knowledge. The proportion of sufficient knowledge was lower among immigrants and among women with low education levels. The proportion of women making informed choices was low (27.1%), with similar associations with education level and migration status. Women of low (OR 2.75; 95% CI 2.18–3.46) and medium education level (OR 1.49; 95% CI 1.27–1.75) were more likely to make an uninformed choice than women of high education level. Turkish immigrant women had the greatest odds for making an uninformed choice (OR 5.30, 95% CI 1.92–14.66) compared to non-immigrant women. Other immigrant women only had slightly greater odds for making an uninformed choice than non-immigrant women. As immigrant populations and women with low education level have been shown to have poor knowledge, they need special attention in measures to increase knowledge and thus informed choices.

Dies hat zum Teil methodische Gründe, die in diesem Artikel dargestellt werden. Für den 2008 erschienenen Schwerpunktbericht "Migration und Gesundheit" im Auftrag des Robert Koch Instituts wurden umfangreiche Auswertungen der vorhandenen Datenquellen vorgenommen (Razum et al. 2008a). Sie zeigen, dass das Krankheitsspektrum der Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund dem der nicht migrierten Bevölkerung weitgehend ähnelt (mit Ausnahme einiger seltener erblicher hämatologischer und Stoffwechselerkrankungen bei Migranten).In vielen Bereichen bestehen aber Unterschiede hinsichtlich des Ausmaßes und der relativen Bedeutung bestimmter Krankheiten, Mutter-Kind-Gesundheit, Gesundheit am Arbeitsplatz, sowie chronische Erkrankungen und ihre Risikofaktoren zeigen, wie vielschichtig die gesundheitliche Lage von Migranten ist (Razum et al. 2008b). In diesem Artikel wird im Speziellen auf Infektionskrankheiten, Müttersterblichkeit, Kindergesundheit, Unfall- und Schwerbehindertenquellen, Risikofaktoren für Herz-Kreislauferkrankungen und die gesundheitsbezogene Forschung zu Migranten eingegangen.

Als Vorbereitung wurden Fokusgruppen mit Schwangeren und Müttern und leitfadengestützte Experteninterviews mit Hebammen und GynäkologInnen durchgeführt, um Studienmaterialien, Befragungsinstrumente und Sprachpräferenzen zu prüfen. In der Vorstudie wurden unterschiedliche Rekrutierungswege getestet. Im Rekrutierungsverlauf fand eine kontinuierliche Evaluation statt, um erfolgreiche Rekrutierungsstrategien für Teilnehmerinnen mit Migrationshintergrund zu ermitteln und anzupassen. Von den eingeschlossenen 980 Teilnehmerinnen hatten 390 einen Migrationshintergrund (40%). Es wurden aktive und passive Rekrutierungsstrategien verfolgt, in denen u. a. türkische Übersetzungen und multikulturelles Personal zum Einsatz kamen. Für die passive Rekrutierung über gynäkologische Praxen und Hebammen mussten die schwangeren Frauen und Wöchnerinnen eine hohe Motivation für die Rekrutierung mitbringen. Die aktive Rekrutierung in den Geburtskliniken (Ansprache durch Study-Nurses) erhöhte den Anteil an Teilnehmerinnen mit Migrationshintergrund von 22 auf 49% aller Teilnehmerinnen. Durch frühzeitige Überprüfungen und Anpassungen der Zugangswege konnte die Teilnahmebereitschaft erhöht werden. Für die Rekrutierung von Frauen mit Migrationshintergrund sind gründliche Vorbereitungen in Form von Befragungen (Fokusgruppen, Leitfadeninterviews) und einer Vorstudie sinnvoll. Von Beginn an sind Verfahren zur frühzeitigen Evaluation der unterschiedlichen Rekrutierungsstrategien und ein erhöhter Personalaufwand (z. B. für (Rück-/ Übersetzungen) einzuplanen). Der Einschluss von Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund in sozialepidemiologischen Studien sollte in Deutschland zur Normalität werden.

Cross-sectional self-reported data were collected using paper-and-pencil questionnaires. Descriptive analyses, Chi square-tests, and logistic regression were applied. Results were adjusted for educational level. Of 5387 women, 89.9% were autochthonous, 4.1% German resettlers, 2.8% Turkish, 3.1% other migrants. Participation rates regarding cancer screening differed significantly, with the lowest proportion in Turkish migrants (65.0%), resettlers (67.8%), other migrants (68.2%) and autochthonous population (78.2%). No differences in performance of breast self-examinations were detected. When adjusted for education, results indicated only slight changes in the odds to participate in screening irregularly or not at all. Results support existing evidence by showing lower participation rates in cancer screening among migrant women, but there were no differences regarding breast self-examinations. Migrant women form a potential high-risk group for late-stage diagnosis of cervical or breast cancer.

Das Forschungsprojekt DIGILOG untersucht im Rahmen des Gesundheitscampus Brandenburg die Zufriedenheit der älteren Bevölkerung mit dem Zugang zur Haus- und Facharztversorgung. Methoden: Anfang 2018 wurden per standardisiertem Fragebogen mit sowohl geschlossenen als auch offenen Fragen 3.006 zufällig ausgewählte 50 – 70-jährige Einwohner im Landkreis Oberspreewald-Lausitz zu soziodemografischen Merkmalen sowie zur aktuellen und künftigen Haus- und Facharztversorgung befragt. Die Response beträgt 17,5% und ergibt eine Stichprobe mit einem Durchschnittsalter von 62 Jahren (51% weiblich). Ergebnisse: Der Zugang gilt als zufriedenstellend (Hausarzt (HA) 93%, Facharzt (FA) 87,8%). Es werden künftig Berentung, mangelnde Nachfolge und lange Wartezeiten befürchtet. 84% haben im letzten Jahr einen FA konsultiert (häufigste: Augenarzt (93 ×), Urologe, Orthopäde (je 74 ×). Der HA ist in rund x̃ = 4 km [0 – 64] und 10 Min. [0 – 90], der FA in x̃ = 15 km [0 – 338] und 20 Min. [0 – 338] überwiegend mit dem Auto (HA 60,9%; FA 77%) erreichbar. Beim HA wird 59 Min. [0 – 180], beim FA 57 Min. [0 – 240] gewartet. Schlussfolgerungen: Obwohl derzeit der Zugang trotz offener Arztstellen insgesamt noch zufriedenstellend ist, drohen in naher Zukunft Versorgungsdefizite, zeitnah besonders in der fachärztlichen Versorgung. Neue Versorgungskonzepte, wie Community Nurses oder digitale Lösungen, könnten diese z.T. auffangen und Wartezeiten bei akuten Beschwerden verkürzen.

The aim of this study was to describe nursing care support for cancer patients and to analyse whether these patients need more care assistance than other persons in need for care. Methods: This was a registry linkage study conducted in 2011. Cases were identified from the population-based cancer registry for the Muenster District in north-western Germany and in factually anonymised form linked by a semi-automatic probabilistic procedure (the standard procedure of the cancer registry) with medical examination records of patients applying for assistance and nursing care support from the regional statutory health insurance. The application records of 4,029 patients with colon, breast and prostate cancer were compared to a reference group of 13,104 non-cancer patients. Results: In only 41.7% of colon, 45.8% of breast and 37.4% of prostate cancer patients was the malignancy the main underlying diagnostic cause for the application of assistance and nursing care. These patients were on average younger (mean age 71.1 vs. 76.8 years) than the non-cancer reference group, required higher levels of support (79.5 vs. 58.1% “considerable” or higher level care need) and their applications were less likely to be rejected (odds ratios [ORs] 0.26, 0.28, and 0.31, respectively). By contrast, the proportion of successful applications and the level of support granted did not differ between multimorbid cancer patients with other main diagnoses as compared to non-cancer applicants. Conclusion: Patients with colon, breast or prostate cancer do not need per se more nursing care than non-cancer patients. Only if cancer is the main underlying diagnosis for nursing care support, higher levels of support are needed.

Most patients are managed in ambulatory care. This systematic review provides an updated overview of quality and content of international clinical practice guidelines for diagnosis and management of non-dialysis CKD relevant to patients in ambulatory care. Methods: We identified guidelines published from 2012-to March 2018 in guideline portals, databases and by manual search. Methodological quality was assessed with the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II instrument. Recommendations were extracted and evaluated. Results: Eight hundred fifty-two publications were identified, 9 of which were eligible guidelines. Methodological quality ranged from 34 to 77%, with domains “scope and purpose” and “clarity of presentation” attaining highest and “applicability” lowest scores. Guidelines were similar in recommendations on CKD definition, screening of patients with diabetes and hypertension, blood pressure targets and referral of patients with progressive or stage G4 CKD. Definition of high risk groups and recommended tests in newly diagnosed CKD varied. Conclusions: Guidelines quality ranged from moderate to high. Guidelines generally agreed on management of patients with high risk or advanced CKD, but varied in regarding the range of recommended measurements, the need for referrals to nephrology, monitoring intervals and comprehensiveness. More research is needed on efficient management of patients with low risk of CKD progression to end stage renal disease.

The majority of CKD patients are treated in general practice. Although international guidelines recommend referral in patients with GFR <30, the German Societies for Nephrology and Internal Medicine recommend specialist referral for all subjects with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <45 or eGFR 45-59 ml/min/ 1,73m2 with additional risk factors. This analysis was performed to evaluate the public health implications of lowering the threshold value for referral. Methods: Data of the population based cohort Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP-2) were analysed to estimate the proportion of subjects who meet different referral criteria, billing data to estimate actual referral rate and public health implications of implementing different referral criteria were estimated with regard to cost and health resources utilization. Results: Data of 2328 subjects from SHIP-2 (53% female; age M = 57 Jahre, SD = 14)were analyzed. 3% of subjects had eGFR<45ml/min/1,73m2. 6% had an eGFR between 45-59 ml/min/1,73m2. Proposed German referral criteria were met by 8% of subjects, with 41% in the age group 80+ meeting referral criteria, wheras NICE and KDIGO criteria limited referral to 1-2%. Yearly referral as estimated from billing data was ca.2%. Results are preliminary and data comparing cost and health resources utilization will be available at the conference. Conclusions: Adherence to the proposed German referral criteria would greatly increase the number of referrals, especially in the elderly. This can lead to a major increase in cost, as well as serious problems with respect to the capacity of the nephrological workforce. Because of lack of a specific nephrological therapy in earlier stages of CKD in patients without additional risk factors, the benefit of increasing referrals in this group seems doubtful. Referral criteria for common medical conditions should be evaluated rigorously.

However, it also has some potential harms, such as overdiagnosis and overtreatment. Therefore, it is necessary that women receive sufficient and balanced information to enable informed decision-making. We examined knowledge about benefits and harms of the MSP in Germany among first-time invitees of different socio-demographic backgrounds. Methods: This observational study assessed knowledge about benefits and harms of the MSP among women who were invited to the MSP for the first time by six multiple choice items, using a postal survey. We investigated (i) single items of knowledge, (ii) the distribution of sufficient knowledge stratified by education, migration status and invitation, and (iii) possible determinants of sufficient knowledge by analyzing Odds Ratios (ORs) using bivariate and multivariate logistic regression. Results: In total, 5397 women included in the analyses. 46.1% of the study population had sufficient knowledge about benefits and harms of the MSP. However, women with low educational level and migration background had higher proportions of insufficient knowledge and used most frequently the option “don’t know”. Women had the most difficulties answering the numeric question and the question about the target group correctly. Results from the logistic regression showed that the odds of having sufficient knowledge were higher among well-educated women (OR 3.84, 95%CI 3.24–4.55), among women who already received the MSP invitation (OR 1.38, 95%CI 1.20–1.59) and lowest among Turkish women (OR 0.14, 95%CI 0.07–0.25). Conclusions: Women with low education and migration background need adapted information regarding benefits and harms of the MSP and are important target groups for further developing the information material about mammography screening to reduce disparities in knowledge and enable informed decision-making.

The state of research on the risk of preterm birth (PTB, defined as <37 weeks of gestation), the leading cause of infant mortality and morbidity, among Turkish immigrant women is mixed. Perceived discrimination is discussed in the context of health disparities related to migration. We examined whether PTB risk is also increased in Turkish immigrant women in Germany and whether perceived discrimination due to origin contributes to this risk. Methods: We selected a sample from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) study of German autochthonous and Turkish immigrant women who recently gave birth (between 2002 and 2016) (N = 2,525, incl. n = 217 Turkish immigrant women of which n = 111 completed an item on perceived discrimination). The included variables of central interest were immigrant status, perceived discrimination, gestational age, and socioeconomic situation. Results: Logistic regression models indicated that PTB risk was significantly higher for Turkish immigrant women than autochthonous women (OR: 2.75, 95% CI [1.79–4.16]), even when adjusting for socioeconomic status. Within the subsample of Turkish immigrant women, perceived discrimination was related to a significantly higher PTB risk (OR: 4.91, 95% CI [1.76–15.06]). Conclusions: Our study provides evidence for a higher PTB risk in Turkish immigrant women compared to autochthonous women in Germany. Perceived discrimination may contribute to this higher risk. The findings represent an important first step towards developing targeted interventions to improve pregnancy and birth outcomes in minority groups.

Säuglingsmilchnahrung zur Familienkost, wobei die erste Gabe von Beikost zwischen 5. und 7. Lebensmonat erfolgen soll. Es ist wenig bekannt über soziodemographische bzw. klinische Einflussfaktoren auf die Beikosteinführung. Methodik: Datengrundlage der vorliegenden Untersuchung waren Baseline und erstes Follow-Up der Bielefelder Geburtskohorte BaBi (2013 – 2016, n = 777). Angaben zur Stilldauer, Einführung von Beikost sowie der Getränkegabe vor und während der Einführung von Beikost wurden telefonisch erhoben, als die Säuglinge zwischen neun und 12 Monaten alt waren. Einflussfaktoren auf die Beikosteinführung wurden mittels bi-und multivariater Datenanalyse untersucht. Ergebnisse: Bei Einführung der Beikost waren die Säuglinge im Mittel 5,4 ± 1,2 Monate alt. 2,6% der Säuglinge waren jünger als vier Monate, 12,5% der Säuglinge waren älter als 6,5 Monate. Lineare Regressionsanalysen zeigten eine direkte Assoziation zwischen der ausschließlichen Stilldauer bzw. dem Säuglingsalter bei letzter Mutter-/Säuglingsmilchgabe und dem Beikostbeginn (b = 0,31 [95%KI = 0,26 – 0,36; p ≤ 0,001; b = 0,12 [95% KI 0,07 – 0,18], p ≤ 0,001). Mütterliche Determinanten wie Alter, Bildungsstatus, Migrationsstatus, Familienstand, Parität, pränataler BMI und Rauchstatus vor und während der Schwangerschaft hatten keinen Einfluss auf den Beginn der Beikostgabe. 73,6% der befragten Frauen gaben an, schon einmal Probleme mit dem Füttern seit Beginn der Beikosteinführung gehabt zu haben. Diskussion: In der vorliegenden Analyse erfolgte der Beikostbeginn unabhängig von soziodemographischen und klinischen Parametern, jedoch führte längeres ausschließliches Stillen bzw. längere Mutter-/Säuglingsmilchgabe zu einem späteren Beikostbeginn. Weitere Untersuchungen sind notwendig, um Art, Umfang und mögliche Auswirkungen berichteter Probleme bei der Beikosteinführung bzw. eines verzögerten Beikostbeginns auf Mutter und Kind zu quantifizieren.

Gleichzeitig erfreuen sich E-Zigaretten auch in Deutschland insbesondere unter jungen Erwachsenen zunehmender Beliebtheit. Maternaler Nikotinkonsum birgt schwerwiegende Risiken für die Schwangere und das Kind. Das Ziel dieser Studie war es, den Konsum von Tabak- und E-Zigaretten sowie die Risikowahrnehmung bezüglich E-Zigaretten unter Schwangeren zu erfassen. Methode: In der STudy on E-cigarettes and Pregnancy (STEP) wurden im Rahmen eines quantitativen Studienteils für 575 Schwangere an einer Geburtsklinik in Hamburg von April 2018 bis Januar 2019 die Tabak- und die E-Zigarettennutzung erfasst. In einem qualitativen netnographischen Studienteil wurden insgesamt über 1.000 Posts in webbasierten Schwangerschaftsforen inhaltsanalytisch ausgewertet. Ergebnisse: Unmittelbar vor der Schwangerschaft nutzten 26,9% der Schwangeren Tabakzigaretten und 7,8% E-Zigaretten. Die Prävalenzen reduzierten sich dann im ersten Trimenon auf 9,0% für Tabakzigaretten und 0,5% für E-Zigaretten. Am Ende der Schwangerschaft rauchten noch 3,1% aller Befragten Tabakzigaretten – darunter jede Vierte mehr als 10 Zigaretten/Tag – und 0,2% nutzten durchgängig E-Zigaretten. Die netnographische Analyse zeigte eine große Verunsicherung bei Schwangeren hinsichtlich der Risiken der E-Zigarettennutzung. Diskussion: Die Ergebnisse zeigten für das hier untersuchte Kollektiv, dass noch immer etwa jede zehnte Schwangere zu Beginn der Schwangerschaft Tabakzigaretten raucht. Dagegen ist E-Zigarettenkonsum in der Schwangerschaft nur wenig verbreitet, wenngleich er im Internet teilweise als unschädlich, harmlos und als Alternative zur Tabakzigarette diskutiert wird. Im Rahmen der Prävention sollten die potenziellen Gesundheitsgefahren und die umstrittene Wirksamkeit der E-Zigarette als Tabakentwöhnungshilfe thematisiert und von der E-Zigarettennutzung in der Schwangerschaft dringend abgeraten werden.

A qualitative analysis of risk perception within existing threads in online discussion forums T2 - Midwifery N2 - Objective Previous studies have shown that e-cigarettes are perceived as being less harmful than tobacco cigarettes by pregnant women and might be used to quit smoking during pregnancy. Our aim was to further explore and characterise perceived threats, benefits and barriers of e-cigarette use during pregnancy. Methods Our STudy on E-cigarettes and Pregnancy (STEP) was, among others, based on a netnographic approach of analysing existing threads in German-speaking online discussion forums dealing with perceived threats and benefits of e-cigarette use during pregnancy. For the analysis, we used an inductive-deductive qualitative content analysis. Findings Based on 25 online discussion threads containing 1552 posts, we identified perceived threats, perceived benefits and perceived barriers to e-cigarette use during pregnancy, among others, as main themes. Subthemes identified within the main theme perceived threats were severe nicotine related health risks, potential health risks of additional ingredients, relative risks and lack of knowledge and research studies. As perceived benefits, we identified possibility and facilitation of smoking cessation, harm reduction and financial benefits. Perceived barriers were lack of satisfaction and social stigma. Conclusion Our qualitative results suggest that the perception of the health threats related to e-cigarette use during pregnancy varies according to the nicotine content and the perception of relative risks compared with tobacco cigarettes. In addition to this, risk perception is defined through further health and non-health related barriers and benefits (e.g. suitability of e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation aid, social stigma).

T2 - Das Gesundheitswesen N2 - Ziel der Studie: Die medizinische Versorgung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland ist von Verteilungsproblemen geprägt. Vor allem in ländlichen Regionen droht Unterversorgung. In dieser Studie wurde untersucht, wie ältere Bewohner des Landkreises Oberspreewald-Lausitz (OSL) des Bundeslandes Brandenburg ihre derzeitige medizinische Versorgungssituation einschätzen und welche Wünsche und Bedenken sie hinsichtlich deren zukünftigen Entwicklung im Jahr 2030 haben. Methodik: In der vorliegenden Querschnitterhebung wurden 3006 Einwohner im Alter von 50–56 Jahren und von 65–71 Jahren des Landkreises OSL befragt. Ein Fragebogen mit geschlossenem und offenem Antwortformat wurde zur Erfassung der Zielstellung eingesetzt. Ergebnisse: In der vorliegenden Untersuchung äußerten sich die Einwohner des Landkreises OSL aktuell zufrieden oder sehr zufrieden mit der hausärztlichen (93,1%) und der fachärztlichen Versorgung (83,3%). Innerhalb des Landkreises zeigen sich in einigen Regionen Defizite. Im Gebiet Lauchhammer/Schwarzheide äußerten sich insbesondere zur fachärztlichen Versorgung 27,1% der Befragten unzufrieden oder sehr unzufrieden. Alternative und ergänzende Versorgungsangebote wie die Community Nurse sind akzeptierte, jedoch derzeit unterrepräsentierte Maßnahmen zur Sicherstellung der zukünftigen medizinischen Versorgung. Schlussfolgerung: Derzeit zeigen sich Bewohner des ländlichen, metropolenfernen Landkreises OSL zufrieden mit der ambulanten medizinischen Versorgung, jedoch stellen sich in einigen Regionen Defizite, insbesondere bei der zukünftigen Facharztversorgung dar. Alternative Versorgungsangebote wie Telemedizin sind seitens der Bewohner gewünschte Maßnahmen zur Ergänzung und Sicherstellung der zukünftigen medizinischen Versorgung im ländlichen Raum.

Articles that reported quantitative data on the association of SES with utilisation of primary or specialist physicians in Europe were included. Title and abstract screening were performed by two independent researchers and 50 full texts are currently sifted whether they fulfil the inclusion criteria. Results: The studies analysed utilisation of physicians in terms of probability or frequency. The initial check of the studies indicates that socioeconomic inequalities in the utilisation of physicians differ between primary and specialist care. Specialist physicians were found to be visited with a higher probability and more often by the least disadvantaged in most studies. Inequalities in the utilisation of primary physicians revealed to be more diverse with a weak pattern of equally distributed probability of GP visits and more frequent utilisation by the disadvantaged. Conclusions: The preliminary results indicate that pro-rich utilisation seems to be more pronounced in visiting specialists compared to primary health care. Aiming to reduce inequalities in healthcare, public health actions might primarily focus on reaching a needs-based consultation of specialist physicians.

Hence, neighbourhood is a complex mixture of factors which cannot be simply defined by a delineation on a map, making common definitions of neighbourhood (e.g. administrative borders) problematic. We present a new concept for the evaluation of contextual health inequalities in an urban setting. Methods: An ego-centred approach to neighbourhood effects on health allows to establish to what degree the health outcomes of a person are on average correlated to the health outcomes of his/her neighbours. This approach does not necessitate the definition of what a neighbourhood is, or of its boundaries. Using data from the BaBi birth cohort following up 958 mother-child pairs in Bielefeld/Germany we illustrate how the method provides information about the spatial structure of a possible association between unmeasured neighbourhood factors and birthweight. Spatially correlated birthweight indicates a neighbourhood effect on maternal health. Results: A parametric model of the correlation structure gives two indicators: a distance after which health outcomes are no longer correlated (practical range), and the strength of correlation (RSV). We modelled birthweight directly and residuals after controlling for (spatially correlated) covariates. After adjusting for the mother’s demographics and neighbourhood characteristics, birthweights remained spatially correlated with RSV of 11% and a practical range of 128 m. Conclusions: Modelling the spatial correlation of a health outcome provides a measure of the degree of health correlation, thus offering new evidence on the production of health inequalities while incorporating current modelling approaches. Moreover, it measures heterogeneity in a city. This could be used as an indicator for policy makers or town planners to identify areas in need of socioeconomic investment.

Turkish-origin immigrants constitute an important immigrant group in Germany and show disparities in some health domains that are evident from birth onwards. Several studies have shown the mechanisms by which social disadvantage is biologically embedded to affect health over the lifespan. Relatively little, however, is still known about if and how the maternal social situation is transmitted to the next generation. This study therefore aims to analyse the effects of maternal socioeconomic status and migration status on stress-related maternal-placental-fetal (MPF) biological processes during pregnancy on infant birth and health outcomes. Methods: This longitudinal cohort study of N = 144 child-mother dyads is located at two study sites in Germany and includes pregnant women of Turkish origin living in Germany as well as pregnant German women. During pregnancy, MPF stress biology markers from maternal blood and saliva samples, maternal socio-economic and migration-related information, medical risk variables and psychological well-being are assessed. After birth, infant anthropometric measures and developmental outcomes are assessed. The same measures will be assessed in and compared to Turkish pregnant women based on a collaboration with BABIP study in Istanbul. Discussion: This is the first study on intergenerational transmission of health disparities in Germany with a focus on women of Turkish-origin. The study faces similar risks of bias as other birth cohorts do. The study has implemented various measures, e.g. culturally sensitive recruitment strategies, attempt to recruit and follow-up as many pregnant women as possible independent of their social or cultural background. Nevertheless, the response rate among lower-educated families is lower. The possibility to compare results with a cohort from Turkey is a strength of this study. However, starting at different times and with slightly different recruitment strategies and designs may result in cohort effects and may affect comparability of the sub-cohorts.

A way to move forward in assessing these pathways direction is to explore the spatial structure of health phenomena to generate hypotheses and examine whether the neighbourhood characteristics are able to explain this spatial structure. We compare the spatial structure of two cardiovascular disease risk factors in three European urban areas, thus assessing if a non-measured neighbourhood effect or spatial processes is present by either modelling the correlation structure at individual level or by estimating the intra-class correlation within administrative units. Methods: Data from three independent studies (RECORD, DHS and BaBi), covering each a European urban area, are used. The characteristics of the spatial correlation structure of cardiovascular risk factors (BMI and systolic blood pressure) adjusted for age, sex, educational attainment and income are estimated by fitting an exponential model to the semi-variogram based on the geo-coordinates of places of residence. For comparison purposes, a random effect model is also fitted to estimate the intra-class correlation within administrative units. We then discuss the benefits of modelling the correlation structure to evaluate the presence of unmeasured spatial effects on health. Results: BMI and blood pressure are consistently found to be spatially structured across the studies, the spatial correlation structures being stronger for BMI. Eight to 22% of the variability in BMI were spatially structured with radii ranging from 100 to 240 m (range). Only a small part of the correlation of residuals was explained by adjusting for the correlation within administrative units (from 0 to 4 percentage points). Discussion: The individual spatial correlation approach provides much stronger evidence of spatial effects than the multilevel approach even for small administrative units. Spatial correlation structure offers new possibilities to assess the relevant spatial scale for health. Stronger correlation structure seen for BMI may be due to neighbourhood socioeconomic conditions and processes like social norms at work in the immediate neighbourhood.

The aim of this study was to examine whether maternal migrant background is associated with inflammation during pregnancy - a key pathway by which maternal states and conditions during pregnancy may influence fetal development and subsequent pregnancy, birth, and child developmental and health outcomes. Material and Methods Data was available from 126 pregnant women who participated in a population based multi-site prospective birth cohort study in Bielefeld and Berlin, Germany. The study included two study visits in mid- and late pregnancy. At each visit, a composite maternal pro-inflammatory score was derived from circulating levels of plasma inflammatory markers (IL-6, CRP). Migrant background was defined by country of origin of participants and their parents’ (Turkey or other) and generation status (1st or 2nd generation). We applied hierarchical linear models (HLM) in order to quantify the relationship between different migrant background variables and inflammation during pregnancy after adjustment for potential confounders (including socioeconomic status). Results Migrant background was significantly associated with inflammation during pregnancy. When compared to women without migrant background, levels of inflammation were increased in 1) pregnant women with migrant background in general (B = 0.35, SE = 0.12, p < .01); 2) 1st (B = 0.28, SE = 0.15, p < .10) and 2nd generation (B = 0.40, SE = 0.15, p < .01); 3) women with a Turkish migrant background (B = 0.28, SE = 0.14, p < .10) and women with another migrant background (B = 0.42, SE = 0.15, p <.01); and 4) 2nd generation Turkish origin women (B = 0.38, SE = 0.20, p <.10), 1st generation women with other migrant background (B = 0.44, SE = 0.26, p <.10), and 2nd generation women with other migrant background (B=0.43, SE = 0.17, p <.05). Discussion Our findings support a role for maternal inflammation as a pathway of intergenerational transmission of migration-related health inequalities, suggest that the effect seems to persist in 2nd generation immigrants, and highlight the need for future research and targeted interventions in this context.

Women from lower socioeconomic background and ethnic minorities tend to be less likely to take FAS in other European countries. As little is known about the determinants of FAS in Germany, we aimed to investigate the association between FAS and formal education and migration background, adjusting for demographic factors. Design: We used data (2013-2016) on nutrition and socioeconomic and migration background from the baseline questionnaire of the BaBi cohort study. We performed multivariate regressions and mediation analyses. Setting: Bielefeld, Germany. Participants: 947 women (pregnant or who had given birth in the past two months). Results: 16.7% of the participants (158/947) didn't use FAS. Migration-related variables (e.g. language, length of stay) were not associated with FAS in the adjusted models. FAS was lower in women with lower level of formal education and in unplanned pregnancies. Reasons given by women for not taking FAS were unplanned pregnancy and lack of knowledge of FAS. Conclusions: Health practitioners may be inclined to see migrant women as an inherently at-risk group for failed intake of FAS. However, it is primarily women who did not plan their pregnancy, and women of lower formal education level, who are at risk. Different public health strategies to counter low supplementation rates should be supported, those addressing the social determinants of health (i.e. education) and those more focussed on family planning.

The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and the risk of COVID-19 infections in a cohort of HCW from four different risk groups (from intensive care unit to administration) of a hospital of a primary care level in rural Germany. The outcomes were monthly measures of antibody seroprevalence over a period of 6 months. Overall, a seroprevalence of 13.41% was determined, with significantly higher prevalence rates among HCW working in areas with more frequent contact to confirmed or suspected cases (30.30%, p = 0.003). The group specific differences in the risk of infection from COVID-19 were detected, as HCW groups with frequent exposure seemed to have an increased risk (RR = 3.18, p = 0.02; CI95 1.09–9.24). The findings contribute to the epidemiological understanding of the virus spread in an unvaccinated population group, which is highly relevant for the pandemic management.

The impact of regional characteristics on development in early childhood beyond family SEP has been rarely investigated. This study aimed to identify regional predictors of global developmental delay at school entry taking family SEP into consideration. Method We used representative, population-based data from mandatory school entry examinations of the German federal state of Brandenburg in 2018/2019 with n=22,801 preschool children. By applying binary multilevel models, we hierarchically analyzed the effect of regional deprivation defined by the German Index of Socioeconomic Deprivation (GISD) and rurality operationalized as inverted population density of the children’s school district on global developmental delay (GDD) while adjusting for family SEP (low, medium and high). Results Family SEP was significantly and strongly linked to GDD. Children with the highest family SEP showed a lower odds for GDD compared to a medium SEP (female: OR=4.26, male: OR=3.46) and low SEP (female: OR=16.58, male: OR=12.79). Furthermore, we discovered a smaller, but additional and independent effect of regional socioeconomic deprivation on GDD, with a higher odds for children from a more deprived school district (female: OR=1.35, male: OR=1.20). However, rurality did not show a significant link to GDD in preschool children beyond family SEP and regional deprivation. Conclusion Family SEP and regional deprivation are risk factors for child development and of particular interest to promote health of children in early childhood and over the life course.

The aim was to assess recommended and observed referral rate and health care expenditure according to recommendations from: • Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO,2012) • National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE,2014) • German Society of Nephrology/German Society of Internal Medicine (DGfN/DGIM,2015) • German College of General Practitioners and Family Physicians (DEGAM,2019) • Kidney failure risk equation (NICE,2021) Methods: Data of the population-based cohort Study of Health in Pomerania were matched with claims data. Proportion of subjects meeting referral criteria and corresponding health care expenditures were calculated and projected to the population of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Results: Data from 1927 subjects were analysed. Overall proportion of subjects meeting referral criteria ranged from 4.9% (DEGAM) to 8.3% (DGfN/DGIM). The majority of patients eligible for referral were ≥ 60 years. In subjects older than 60 years, differences were even more pronounced, and rates ranged from 9.7% (DEGAM) to 16.5% (DGfN/DGIM). Estimated population level costs varied between €1,432,440 (DEGAM) and €2,386,186 (DGfN/DGIM). From 190 patients with eGFR < 60 ml/min, 15 had a risk of end stage renal disease > 5% within the next 5 years. Conclusions: Applying different referral criteria results in different referral rates and costs. Referral rates exceed actually observed consultation rates. Criteria need to be evaluated in terms of available workforce, resources and regarding over- and underutilization of nephrology services.

Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study employing an online survey was performed among German physical therapists in 2019. The survey consisted of three sections with open and closed questions: 1) self-reported use of ReMoS recommendations, 2) barriers of guideline use and 3) socio-demographic characteristics. The benchmark level for guideline adherent physical therapy was set at > 80%. Results Data from 170 questionnaires were eligible for analysis. Participants’ mean age was 41.6 years, 69.4% were female, while 60.1% had no academic degree. The ReMoS guideline was unknown to 52.9% of the responders. Out of all the 46 ReMoS guideline recommendations, only ‘intensive walking training without a treadmill’ was reported to be performed in a guideline adherent manner. Respondents usually denied any personal limitations, such as limited knowledge, or that the ReMoS guideline did not fit their routine practice. Conclusions Among German physical therapists, the ReMoS guideline is not well-known and many interventions are not performed as recommended, illustrating the discrepancies between the ReMoS guideline recommendations and current physical therapy practice. Interventions aimed at overcoming this gap should consider both knowledge of existing barriers and facilitators of guideline usage.

Protocol of a Mixed Methods Study Using the Behavior Change Wheel and the Theoretical Domains Framework T2 - Frontiers in Neurology N2 - Objective: Evidence-based guidelines are important for informing clinical decision-making and improving patient outcomes. There is inconsistent usage of guidelines among physical therapists involved in stroke rehabilitation, suggesting the existence of a gap between theory and practice. Addressing the German guideline “evidence-based rehabilitation of mobility after stroke (ReMoS),” the aims of this project are (1) to describe the current physical therapy practice within the context of stroke rehabilitation in Germany, (2) to evaluate barriers and facilitators of guideline usage, (3) to develop, and (4) to pilot test a theory-based, tailored implementation intervention for the benefit of guideline recommendations. Materials and Methods: This study uses a stepwise mixed methods approach for implementing a local guideline. A self-reported online questionnaire will be used to survey the current physical therapy practice in stroke rehabilitation. The same survey and systematic-mixed methods review will be used to evaluate the barriers and facilitators of guideline usage quantitatively. Semi-structured interviews will add a qualitative perspective on factors that influence ReMoS guideline implementation. The Behavior Change Wheel and Theoretical Domains Framework will be used to support the development of a tailored implementation intervention which will be pilot tested in a controlled study. Patient and physical therapy-related outcomes, as well as the appropriateness, such as acceptance and feasibility of the tailored implementation intervention, will be analyzed. Conclusion: This will be the first endeavor to implement a guideline in German stroke rehabilitation with a focus on changing care provider behavior based on the knowledge of current practice and determining factors using a tailored and theory-based intervention.

T2 - BEWEGTE ZEITEN: LEBENSWELTEN IM WANDEL - Programm und Abstract-Band_DGMP-DGMS2023 N2 - Hintergrund: Die Sozialepidemiologie in Deutschland konnte in den letzten Jahrzehnten in wichtigen Fragen zur internationalen Forschung aufschließen. Dennoch bestehen hierzulande im Vergleich zu vielen anderen Ländern weiterhin einige Datenlücken und „blinde Flecken“, z.B. hinsichtlich sozialer Unterschiede in der ursachenspezifischen Mortalität oder dem Zusammenspiel von individuellen und sozialräumlichen Einflüssen auf Gesundheit. Diese hängen u.a. mit fehlenden Verknüpfungsmöglichkeiten von Gesundheits- und Sozialdaten auf Individual- und Raumebene zusammen. Der German Index of Socioeconomic Deprivation (GISD) des Robert Koch-Instituts stellt ein Maß zur Verfügung, mit dem ein Beitrag zur Bearbeitung dieser Fragen geleistet werden kann. Methoden: Anhand von Anwendungsbeispielen werden Analysepotentiale des GISD für die Sozialepidemiologie in Deutschland aufgezeigt. Dafür wird der GISD mit Daten 1) der amtlichen Statistik (z.B. Todesursachenstatistik), 2) der Schuleingangsuntersuchung sowie 3) der Studie Corona-Monitoring bundesweit (RKISOEP- 2) auf kleinräumiger Ebene verknüpft. Zur Anwendung kommen epidemiologische Methoden wie die Berechnung altersstandardisierter Raten und relativer Risiken, u.a. mittels (Mehrebenen-)Regressionsmodellen. Ergebnisse: 1) Für nahezu alle häufigen Todesursachen zeigt der GISD regionale sozioökonomische Gradienten in der Mortalität. Bei Krebserkrankungen beispielsweise weisen Frauen und Männer, die in sozioökonomisch hoch deprivierten Kreisen leben, eine bis zu dreimal höhere Lungenkrebssterblichkeit auf als jene in wohlhabenden Kreisen. 2) Hinsichtlich des allgemeinen Entwicklungsstandes von Kindern bei der Schuleingangsuntersuchung werden bei Kindern aus höher deprivierten Gemeinden häufiger Entwicklungsverzögerungen festgestellt, selbst nach Kontrolle für den familiären sozioökonomischen Status. 3) Die niedrigste COVID-19-Impfquote zeigte sich unabhängig von der regionalen sozioökonomischen Deprivation bei Personen mit niedrigen Bildungsabschlüssen. Stratifiziert nach GISD-Quintilen wird ersichtlich sich, dass diese Bildungsunterschiede in der Impfquote mit steigender sozioökonomischer Deprivation der Wohnregion zunehmen. Diskussion: Der GISD bietet für die sozialepidemiologische Forschung ein breites Analysepotenzial. Insbesondere bei der Analyse gesundheitlicher Ungleichheit kann er für verschiedene Gesundheitsoutcomes und Lebensphasen zur Erschließung bislang ungenutzter Routinedatenquellen (z.B. Todesursachenstatistik) sowie Ergänzung von Routine- und Primärdaten dienen, um „blinde Flecke“ der Sozialepidemiologie in Deutschland zu verringern.

This study investigated the use and attitudes toward digital technologies in health context using a nationwide survey. Methods Adult internet users (n=1020) from 16 federal states in Germany participated in computer-assisted telephone interviews in November 2022. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analyses. Results Overall, 61% of participants reported internet use in health context. Among the users, digital technologies were used to obtain general health information by 63% and to support physical activity or to obtain information on cancer by less than 50%. Over 90% of users rated such technologies as easy to use and useful to obtain health information, to support physical activity or to obtain information on cancer. However, confidence in using the internet for health decisions was low. Digital technology use in health context was associated with higher eHealth literacy. Digital technologies were preferred by younger participants to support physical activity and by older participants to obtain information on cancer. Conclusion Although digital technologies are easy to use, the use of digital technologies for health promotion and disease prevention and confidence in using the internet for health decisions were low among internet users in this study. Factors that promote digital technology use for health promotion and prevention need to be investigated in further studies.

Specifically, women of Turkish origin in Germany have a greater risk for some mental health issues and adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes compared to women without migrant background. We tested differences between women of Turkish origin and women without migrant background in self-reported pregnancy and postpartum stress experiences and depressive symptoms. Methods: 32 women of Turkish origin (mean age 29.7 years) and 77 women without migrant background (mean age 32 years) participated in a multi-site prospective cohort study with two study visits during pregnancy and one month postpartum. Women provided sociodemographic data and completed the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the Center for Epidemiology – Depression (CESD) scale at each study visit. Results: Using hierarchical linear models, we found that women of Turkish origin (both first and second gen- eration) reported more perceived stress (b = 0.57, CI: 0.29–0.84, p < 0.001) and depressive symptoms (b = 0.32, CI = 0.14–0.49, p < 0.001) compared to women without migrant background across gestation. A linear regression analysis showed that there was also a significant difference in depressive symptoms at one month postpartum (b = 0.35, CI = 0.03–0.66, p < 0.05). Conclusion: Tailored psychosocial interventions are needed to address mental health needs of pregnant Turkish origin women and to intervene on the possible transmission of stress-related health disadvantages to their offspring.

Additionally, LMICs' healthcare systems are already overwhelmed by the prevalence of communicable diseases. It is crucial to understand the patterns of GDM in sub-Saharan African countries. Early detection, lifestyle and medication interventions, regular prenatal visits and effective postpartum management can help avert the future development of type 2 diabetes. GDM services present opportunities for preventive and treatment strategies for women with GDM. However, various factors contribute to challenges and obstacles in accessing GDM services, particularly suboptimal postpartum screening and follow-up. This study aims to investigate the societal and healthcare factors that facilitate or hinder access to and use of GDM services, as well as the factors that promote or obstruct the management and treatment of GDM, in Kenya, using a postcolonial theoretical approach.

The COVID-19 pandemic may have affected social inequalities in people's health due to containment measures. As these measures particularly affected children, they might have been particularly vulnerable to increased social inequalities. The aim of the study was to describe health inequalities during the pandemic based on language delay (LD) in children in order to inform public health interventions for a population at risk of long-term health and education inequalities. Methods Data of 5–7 year old children from three consecutive school entry surveys in the German federal state of Brandenburg were used, including data compulsorily collected before the pandemic (2018/2019: n = 19,299), at the beginning of the pandemic (2019/2020: n = 19,916) and during the pandemic (2020/2021: n = 19,698). Bivariate and multivariate binary regression analyses [OR, 95% CI] cross-sectionally examined the relationship between the prevalence of LD [yes/no] and social inequalities, operationalized by family socioeconomic position [SEP low/middle/high], migration background [native-German language/non-native German language] and length of kindergarten attendance [< 4 years/ ≥ 4 years]. Factors contributing to inequality in LD were examined by socioeconomic stratification. Results Cross-sectionally, LD prevalence has decreased overall (2018/2019: 21.1%, 2019/2020: 19.2%, 2020/2021: 18.8%), and among children from both high SEP and native German-speaking families. As LD prevalence increased among children from families with low SEP and remained stable among non-native German speakers, social inequalities in LD prevalence increased slightly during the pandemic i) by low SEP (2018/2019: OR = 4.41, 3.93–4.94; 2020/2021: OR = 5.12, 4.54–5.77) and ii) by non-German native language (2018/2019: OR = 2.22, 1.86–2.66; 2020/2021: OR = 2.54, 2.19–2.95). During the pandemic, both migration background and kindergarten attendance determined LD prevalence in the high and middle SEP strata. However, the measured factors did not contribute to LD prevalence in children from families with low SEP. Conclusion Social inequalities in LD increased due to opposing trends in prevalence comparing low and high SEP families. To promote health equity across the life course, early childhood should be of interest for tailored public health actions (e.g. through targeted interventions for kindergarten groups). Further analytical studies should investigate determinants (e.g., parental investment).

V. N2 - Hintergrund und Stand der Forschung: Die Förderung einer selbstbestimmten Geburt wird in öffentlichen, fachlichen und politischen Diskursen zunehmend als ein Charakteristikum guter Geburtshilfe diskutiert. Der Grad der Selbstbestimmung hängt maßgeblich davon ab, inwieweit die Präferenzen (Wünsche, Vorstellungen) Gebärender verhandelt und umgesetzt werden (können). Bislang liegt jedoch keine aktuelle, empirisch informierte Theorie zum Umgang von Hebammen mit den Präferenzen Gebärender in Deutschland unter der Berücksichtigung verschiedener Geburtshilfe-Settings vor. Fragestellung und Zielsetzung, Hypothese: Im Rahmen des qualitativen Forschungsprojekts „Wie erleben Hebammen in Deutschland die Selbstbestimmung Gebärender?“ (2021–2024) wurde die folgende Fragestellung aus der Perspektive der teilnehmenden Hebammen untersucht: „Wie gehen Hebammen in Deutschland mit den Präferenzen Gebärender um?“. Methode: Es wurden 11 problemzentrierte Einzelinterviews mit Hebammen durchgeführt. Eingeschlossen wurden Hebammen mit laufender oder abgeschlossener Ausbildung, deren letzte begleitete Geburt max. 6 Monate zurücklag. Ziel des Samplings war eine größtmögliche Varianz in Bezug auf repräsentierte Settings (Kliniken, Geburtshäuser, Hausgeburten), geografische Regionen und individuelle Merkmale (u.a. Erfahrung, Alter) der Teilnehmenden. Die Interviews wurden aufgezeichnet, transkribiert, anonymisiert und mittels der Grounded Theory Methodologie nach Strauss/Corbin ausgewertet. Ein positives Ethik-Votum liegt vor. Ergebnisse: Das Modell umfasst 7 Handlungsschritte: 1. Situationsdeutung; 2. Abwägen und Priorisieren relevanter Parameter; 3. Bestimmen des Möglichkeitsrahmens für die Gestaltung der Geburt; 4. Abgleich der Präferenz(en) mit dem Möglichkeitsrahmen; 5. Verhandeln der Präferenz(en); 6. Kontinuierliches Überwachen kontextueller/situativer Änderungen; 7. ggf. Anpassen/Neubestimmung des Möglichkeitsrahmens. Die Handlungen stehen in wechselseitiger Beziehung zu kontextuellen Bedingungen (strukturell; interpersonell; persönlich-individuell; gesundheitliche Situation; Geburtsverlauf; Geburtsverständnis). Selbstbestimmung ist gemäß des Modells auch dann möglich, wenn vorherige Präferenzen unter der Geburt verworfen, geändert und/oder neu entwickelt werden. Diskussion: Das empirisch informierte Modell beschreibt, wie Hebammen mit den Präferenzen Gebärender umgehen und dadurch Selbstbestimmung unter der Geburt beeinflussen. Es trifft keine Aussage darüber, inwieweit eine Geburt als „gut“ erlebt wird oder gelten kann. Im weiteren Verlauf der Studie wird untersucht, inwieweit die Beziehungsgestaltung sich auf die Handlungsschritte auswirkt. Das induktiv entwickelte Modell sollte im Zuge weiterer Forschung hinsichtlich seiner Generalisierbarkeit überprüft werden. Implikation für die Forschung: Das Modell leistet einen Beitrag zum Verständnis dessen, wie Hebammen mit den Präferenzen Gebärender umgehen, welche Einflussfaktoren und Abwägungen dabei von Bedeutung sind und inwieweit Selbstbestimmung auch verworfene, geänderte oder neu entwickelte Präferenzen unter der Geburt einschließt.

They have an increased risk to develop stress-related health disadvantages, and this risk is also prevalent in the offspring generation from early ages on. We have conducted a multi-site prospective cohort study to examine the role of stress and stress biology in this intergenerational perpetuation of health disparities. Methods 140 pregnant women (33 of Turkish origin) participated in a prospective cohort study with two study visits during pregnancy and one after birth (T1: 20-25 weeks of gestation, T2: 30-35 weeks of gestation, T3: four weeks after birth). At T1 and T2, women completed the Perceived Stress Scale and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale and collected saliva samples after awakening, 30 minutes after awakening, and in the evening, and venous blood samples were collected for analysis of CRP and IL-6 concentrations. Results Multilevel models showed that Turkish-origin women exhibited higher levels of perceived stress and depressive symptoms, had increased inflammatory levels (Spallek et al., 2021), a blunted cortisol awakening response and flatter diurnal cortisol slope during pregnancy compared to non-migrant women after adjustment for socioeconomic factors.Some of the effects were mainly driven by 2nd generation migrants. Conclusions Increased levels of psychosocial stress and stress-related biological alterations among Turkish-origin pregnant women may contribute to the intergenerational transmission of health disadvantages in this group.

N2 - Health inequalities exist between people with and without a migration background in many societies. These inequalities seem to be perpetuated to the offspring generation born in the host country. This phenomenon is also observed among people of Turkish origin in Germany. Stress psychological and stress biological processes during pregnancy may play an important role in how maternal conditions may be transmitted to the child. We present here findings on the role of Turkish migration background for psychological stress experiences and stress biology during pregnancy. 140 pregnant women (81 non migrant German, 33 of Turkish origin, 26 of other origin) participated in a prospective cohort study that was carried out in Bielefeld and Berlin and that encompassed two study visits during pregnancy at first and second trimester pregnancy (Spallek et al., 2020). At both study visits, we derived concentrations of maternal inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6) and diurnal cortisol profiles, and participants completed the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD). Multilevel models showed that Turkish-origin women had increased inflammatory levels (Spallek et al., 2021), a blunted cortisol awakening response and flatter diurnal cortisol slope (Entringer et al., 2022), and they exhibited higher levels of perceived stress and depressive symptoms during pregnancy compared to non-migrant women after adjustment for socioeconomic factors. Women of Turkish origin show increased stress levels on the psychological and biological level during pregnancy. The potential role of this elevated stress for the offspring’s health is subject to future analyses.

Immigrants may have been exposed in ways that differ from those of the non-migrant population over their whole life course, including the period before migration, the migration process, and the period after migration. Epidemiological studies on the health experience of migrants have provided important insights into disease etiology but obviously also serve to identify exposure and risk differences between different population groups, and their determinants. This chapter presents an overview of the history and importance of studies among migrants and ethnic minorities. It provides insights into concepts, definitions, and terminology, as well as data sources that can be used for epidemiological research in this field. Key studies that shape the research field are presented. Detailed data both for the migrant populations of interest and for comparison populations are required for a comprehensive, theory-based assessment of the changing health of migrants. Modern, diversity-sensible epidemiological and health research needs to routinely endorse all fundamental quality requirements of epidemiological research and should strive for a system’s perspective to fully understand the interplay of influences and conditions shaping the health of migrant populations and population health in general.

Entsprechend vielfältig sind auch die Vorgeschichten und Lebensumstände der migrierenden Menschen. Die damit einhergehenden unterschiedlichen Expositionen beeinflussen die Gesundheit der Migrant*innen und ihrer Kinder. Um ein solch komplexes Phänomen zu erfassen, ist ein Ansatz erforderlich, der die besonderen Umstände im Lebenslauf der Migrant*innen einbezieht.

Bei der Anwendung dieses Konzepts auf migrierende Bevölkerungen werden Expositionen vor, während und nach der Migration untersucht. In der epidemiologischen Forschung zur Gesundheit von eingewanderten Menschen ist es wünschenswert, alle diese 3 Phasen zu berücksichtigen.

T2 - Gesundheitswesen N2 - Einleitung Zielsetzung des Beitrags ist es, zu untersuchen, inwiefern die sozioökonomische Komposition von Schulen mit dem Wohlbefinden von Schülerinnen und Schülern in Deutschland assoziiert ist. Konkret wurden die Assoziationen der Bildung, des Einkommens und des beruflichen Status der Eltern auf Individualebene und aggregiert auf Schulebene sowie die Interaktionen zwischen diesen Ebenen auf das subjektive Wohlbefinden von Schülern der Sekundarstufe I untersucht. Methoden Es wurden Daten der Startkohorte „Klasse 5“ des Nationalen Bildungspanels (NEPS) herangezogen. Die Kohorte startete 2010 mit einer repräsentativen Stichprobe von Fünftklässlern in Deutschland, welche jährlich nachverfolgt wurden. Es wurden Erhebungswellen von der fünften bis zur neunten Klasse zusammengefasst. Damit konnten 14.265 Beobachtungen mit vollständigen Angaben von 3.977 Schülerinnen und Schülern in 218 Schulen in den Analysen berücksichtigt werden. Mit Mixed-Models wurde getestet, ob die sozioökonomische Position auf individueller und/oder schulischer Ebene und die ebenenübergreifende Interaktion dieser Indikatoren mit dem Wohlbefinden (adaptierter Personal Well-Being – School Children-Index) der Jugendlichen assoziiert ist. Es wurde für Alter, Geschlecht, Migrationshintergrund, Familienform, Schultyp und Notendurchschnitt kontrolliert. Ergebnisse Auf individueller Ebene war das elterliche Einkommen mit höherem Wohlbefinden verbunden. Der berufliche Status der Eltern zeigte keine signifikanten Assoziationen. Auf Schulebene fanden wir einen geringen, positiven Zusammenhang zwischen dem durchschnittlichen elterlichen Einkommen und dem individuellen Wohlbefinden, aber auch einen mäßig negativen Einfluss eines hohen Anteils hoch gebildeter Eltern auf das Wohlbefinden. In Sensitivitätsanalysen blieben diese Zusammenhänge auch bei separater Betrachtung dieser Indikatoren bestehen. Die Zusammenhänge auf Individualebene wurden nicht durch die sozioökonomische Komposition von Schulen moderiert, es konnten keine signifikanten ebenenübergreifende Interaktionen festgestellt werden. Schlussfolgerung Es wurde ein Zusammenhang der sozioökonomischen Zusammensetzung der Schule mit dem subjektiven Wohlbefinden der Jugendlichen gefunden. Internationale Befunde einer Moderation der Zusammenhänge auf individueller Ebene durch sozioökonomische Charakteristika auf Schulebene konnten jedoch nicht repliziert werden. Die Zusammenhänge zwischen individueller SEP und Wohlbefinden variieren somit nicht in Abhängigkeit von der SEP auf Schulebene. Es zeigen sich vielmehr in Teilen additive Effekte für die individuelle und schulische SEP.

JAHRESTAGUNG DER DGEpi ABSTRACT BOOK N2 - Einleitung Die gesundheitliche Entwicklung von Kindern wird neben der sozioökonomischen Position (SEP) der Familie auch von Merkmalen der Lebensumgebung geprägt. Ruralität oder regionale sozioökonomische Deprivation werden als mögliche unabhängige Einflussgrößen postuliert, ohne dass bisher ausreichende empirische Ergebnisse vorliegen. In dieser Studie wurde untersucht, ob regionale sozioökonomische Deprivation und Ruralität unabhängig von familiärer SEP mit der Entwicklung von Kindern assoziiert sind. Methoden Daten des Sozialpädiatrischen Entwicklungsscreenings im Rahmen der Einschulungsuntersuchungen aus dem Jahr 2018/2019 in Brandenburg (n=22.801 Kinder) wurden verknüpft mit Daten zur regionalen Bevölkerungsdichte (Ruralität) sowie mit dem German Index of Socioeconomic Deprivation (regionale Deprivation). Mittels gemischter Modelle wurde der Zusammenhang einer Allgemeinen Entwicklungsverzögerung (AEV) mit Ruralität und mit regionaler Deprivation analysiert (OR=Odds Ratio (95% Konfidenzintervall)), wobei für familiäre SEP (hoch, mittel, niedrig) adjustiert und nach Geschlecht (M=Mädchen, J=Jungen) stratifiziert wurde. Ergebnisse Kinder mit hoher familiärer SEP zeigten geringere Chancen einer AEV als Kinder mit mittlerer familiärer SEP (ORM=4,26(3,14-5,79); ORJ=3,46(2,83-4,22)) und niedriger familiärer SEP (ORM=16,58(11,90-23,09); ORJ=12,79(10,13-16,16)). Größere regionale Deprivation war unabhängig von familiärer SEP und Ruralität mit AEV assoziiert (ORM=1,35(1,13-1,62); ORJ=1,20(1,05-1,39)). Neben familiärer SEP und regionaler Deprivation zeigte Ruralität keine Assoziation mit AEV. Schlussfolgerung Neben der familiären SEP wirkt sich die regionale sozioökonomische Deprivation auf Entwicklungsverzögerungen von Kindern aus. Sozialepidemiologie und Public Health sollten daher neben den individuellen sozioökonomischen Voraussetzungen auch die regionalen sozioökonomischen Bedingungen als Determinante der gesundheitlichen Entwicklung über den Lebenslauf berücksichtigen.

Deutscher Kongress für Versorgungsforschung : 05.10.-07.10.2022, Potsdam N2 - Hintergrund und Stand (inter)nationaler Forschung: Die Forderung nach einer selbstbestimmten Geburt ist in Deutschland und weltweit in den fachlichen und öffentlichen Fokus gerückt. Allerdings liegen bisher wenige Forschungsergebnisse zur Selbstbestimmung Gebärender und ihrer förderlichen und begrenzenden Bedingungen vor. Diese Erkenntnisse sind jedoch essentiell, um Selbstbestimmung gezielt unterstützen und ihre Verletzung vermeiden zu können. Fragestellung und Zielsetzung: Die Studie untersucht und vergleicht die Erfahrungen und Perspektiven von Hebammen in Bezug auf förderliche und begrenzende Faktoren einer selbstbestimmten Geburt in Krankenhäusern, Geburtshäusern und bei Hausgeburten in Deutschland. Methode: Es wurde eine qualitative Fallstudie auf der Basis von zehn problemzentrierten Einzelinterviews mit Hebammen durchgeführt. Eingeschlossen wurden Hebammen mit laufender oder abgeschlossener Ausbildung, deren letzte begleitete Geburt nicht länger als sechs Monate zurücklag. Die Sampling-Strategie erlaubte die Berücksichtigung unterschiedlicher Geburtshilfe-Settings und Regionen in Deutschland. Alle Interviews wurden aufgezeichnet, transkribiert, anonymisiert und mittels der Thematischen Analyse ausgewertet. Ein positives Ethik-Votum liegt vor. Ergebnisse: Die Ergebnisse legen acht zusammenhängende Kategorien nahe, die jeweils fördernde und begrenzende Faktoren implizieren: 1. Strukturelle/rechtliche Bedingungen auf Meso-/Makroebene; 2. Wahrnehmung von Geburt (z.B. als medizinischer/natürlicher Vorgang, notwendige Kompetenz und Kontrolle); 3. Vertrauen/Atmosphäre; 4. Kennenlernen/ Beziehungsaufbau mit Gebärenden; 5. Sozioökonomische Position (SEP) der Gebärenden; 6. Information der Gebärenden; 7. Entscheidungs- und Artikulationsfähigkeit der Gebärenden und 8. Verhalten der Begleitpersonen. Zudem wurden Strategien der Hebammen zur Erweiterung des Handlungsspielraums identifiziert. Mehrere Faktoren unterscheiden sich abhängig vom Geburtssetting. Diskussion: Die Möglichkeiten für eine selbstbestimmte Geburt können sich je nach Setting (z.B. institutionelle Routinen), zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen (z.B. Vertrauen) und individuellen Faktoren (z.B. SEP) unterscheiden. Folglich können politische, institutionelle und individuelle Strategien eine selbstbestimmte Geburt – und damit eine personenzentrierte, situativ angemessene Versorgung – unter Berücksichtigung der oben genannten Faktoren unterstützen. Praktische Implikationen: Die Ergebnisse liefern konkrete Anhaltspunkte für Maßnahmen zur Unterstützung einer selbstbestimmten Geburt in verschiedenen Geburtssettings. Empfohlen werden u. a. die Verbesserung von Informationsprozessen vor und während der Geburt, die Verbesserung des Zugangs zu Versorgungsangeboten, der Abbau finanzieller Hürden in der Inanspruchnahme, die Förderung von Beziehungsaufbau und eine Stärkung der hebammengeleiteten Geburt. Appell für die Praxis (Wissenschaft und/oder Versorgung) in einem Satz: Akteur*innen und Entscheidungsträger*innen der Geburtshilfe können die Selbstbestimmung Gebärender durch gezielte individuelle, institutionelle und politische Maßnahmen fördern.

Das Wissen um die Komplexität menschlicher Vielfalt und deren Einfluss auf die gesundheitliche Situation bildet die Grundlage für das Verständnis zentraler Gesundheitsdimensionen (u. a.

In diesem Kontext erläutert das Kapitel die Problematik ungleich verteilter Gesundheitschancen und stellt die Bandbreite relevanter Einflussfaktoren am Beispiel der sozialen Lage, des Migrationshintergrunds und des Geschlechts bei Kindern und Jugendlichen vor. Es zeigt auf, wie dieses Wissen im Bildungskontext curricular implementiert werden kann, um bereits im Kindes- und Jugendalter einen Beitrag zur gesundheitlichen Chancengleichheit leisten zu können.

Pauschalisierende Aussagen zum Gesundheitsstatus dieser Gruppe sind daher nicht möglich. Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund sind nicht grundsätzlich gesünder oder kränker als die Mehrheitsbevölkerung. Allerdings können sie sich aufgrund von Expositionen vor, während und nach der Migration in ihren Gesundheitschancen und -risiken von der Mehrheitsbevölkerung unterscheiden. Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung sollten daraus resultierende spezifische Bedarfe ebenso berücksichtigen wie die Diversität der Bevölkerung insgesamt. Erfolgversprechend ist eine Kombination aus diversitätssensiblen, für die Gesamtbevölkerung zugänglichen Angeboten und migrationsspezifischen Ansätzen in besonders risikoreichen Situationen. Kommunale, settingorientierte sowie soziokulturell angepasste Angebote verbessern die Erreichbarkeit der Zielgruppen maßgeblich.

Angebote der Gesundheitsförderung müssen sich – neben gezielten Maßnahmen für Migranten – so ausrichten, dass sie der Diversität der Bevölkerung gerecht werden. Neue Chancen bieten dabei integrierte kommunale Strategien zur Gesundheitsförderung, die die Bedarfe der Menschen in ihren Lebenswelten adressieren. Methoden: Basierend auf theoretischen und empirischen Arbeiten sowie Praxisbeispielen aus dem Bereich Gesundheitsförderung und Prävention werden anhand von sechs Bausteinen Ansätze für eine migrationssensible, integrierte kommunale Gesundheitsförderung entwickelt. Ergebnisse: Wesentliche Bausteine einer integrierten Gesundheitsförderungsstrategie beinhalten: migrationssensible Gesundheitsberichterstattung, ressortübergreifende Vernetzung von lokalen Gesundheitsförderungsakteuren unter Einbindung von Migrantenorganisationen, strukturelle Verankerung von „Kümmererfunktionen“ (z.B. Koordinierungsstelle Migration & Gesundheit), Strukturentwicklung im Quartier, Qualifizierung von Fachkräften zu Diversität und Gesundheit, interkulturelle Öffnung der kommunalen Verwaltung. Schlussfolgerungen: Die strukturelle Verankerung von Gesundheit mittels integrierter kommunaler Strategien bietet neue Möglichkeiten für die Umsetzung von Diversity Mainstreamingprozessen, wie einer fachbereichsübergreifenden Vernetzung und interkulturellen Öffnung der Verwaltung. Neben den sechs Bausteinen erfordert integriertes Handeln bei der Entwicklung von gesunden Lebenswelten eine diversitätssensible Grundhaltung, interkulturelle Kompetenz und die Partizipation von Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund.

Viele dieser Gesundheits-disparitäten werden durch sozioökonomische Benachteiligung und Akkulturation vermittelt. Anhand des Konzeptes der fetalen Pro-grammierung kann erklärt werden, dass das mütterliche Stresserleben – vermittelt über endokrine und immunologische Prozesse – die spätere Gesundheit und Krank-heitsvulnerabilität der Nachkommen bereits in der Schwangerschaft beeinflusst. Es gibt aus der internationalen Forschung zahlreiche Belege dafür, dass endokrine und immunologische Prozesse den Zusam-menhang zwischen mütterlichen migrationsbezogenen Stressoren und Schwangerschafts-, Geburts- und späteren Gesundheitsoutcomes des Kindes vermitteln.

Zusammengefasst kann gesagt werden: - Das Risiko, mit dem weitere Bewohner*innen nach einem ersten nachgewiesenen Fall von SARS‐CoV‐2 (mittels PCR) positiv getestet werden ist in Aufnahmeeinrichtungen und Gemeinschaftsunterkünften mit durchschnittlich 17% als hoch einzuschätzen, wobei es eine große Varianz zwischen den Einrichtungen gibt. - Eine Kollektivquarantäne hat bezogen auf das Infektionsrisiko der unter Quarantäne gestellten Bewohner*innen gegenüber anderen Strategien keinen messbaren Vorteil. Ist innerhalb der Quarantäne eine physische Distanzierung nur bedingt möglich, ist von einer Erhöhung des Infektionsrisikos für die nicht‐infizierten Bewohner*innen auszugehen. Studien zur Quarantäne unter den vergleichsweisen günstigen Bedingungen von Kreuzfahrtschiffen bestätigen dies. Es gibt keine Daten darüber, ob die Kollektivquarantäne einen gesundheitlichen Nutzen für die Bevölkerung außerhalb der Einrichtung bedeutet. Da sie allerdings erhebliche normativ‐rechtliche Probleme birgt, ist die Kollektivquarantäne nach aktuellem Kenntnisstand zu vermeiden. - Die Unterbringung von Geflüchteten sollte grundsätzlich coronaschutzkonform erfolgen, d.h. möglichst dezentral bzw. bei zentralen Einrichtungen möglichst in Einzelunterbringung in kleinen Wohneinheiten, damit bei Auftreten eines Falls eine rasche Ausbreitung vermieden wird und eine adäquate Kontaktnachverfolgung möglich ist. - Nationale Empfehlungen zum Umgang mit SARS‐CoV‐2 in Aufnahmeeinrichtungen und Gemeinschaftsunterkünften unter Berücksichtigung der bisher vor Ort entwickelten Präventions‐ und Lösungsansätze sowie epidemiologischer und normativ‐rechtlicher Überlegungen sind dringend notwendig, um die beteiligten Akteur*innen in ihrem Engagement für die Gesundheit der Bewohner*innen zu unterstützen. Dieses Papier richtet sich an: Politikverantwortliche sowie Akteur*innen der Flüchtlingsversorgung und der Wissenschaft.

Jahrestagung der DGEpi, 11.-13. Septmeber 2019, Ulm N2 - Hintergrund: In Deutschland greift ein Zehntel der Schwangeren zur Tabakzigarette. Gleichzeitig verbreiten sich E-Zigaretten insbesondere unter jungen Erwachsenen in Deutschland zunehmend. Das Ziel dieser Studie war es, die aktive und passive Exposition durch E-Zigaretten- und Tabakzigaretten sowie die Einstellung zur E-Zigarette unter Schwangeren in Deutschland zu erforschen. Methoden: Im Rahmen der STEP (STudy on E-cigarettes and Pregnancy) beantworteten 575 Schwangere an einer Geburtsklinik in Hamburg von April 2018 bis Januar 2019 Fragen zur E-Zigaretten- und Tabakzigarettenexposition sowie ihren Einstellungen zur E-Zigarette. Ergebnisse: Insgesamt nutzten 1,2% der Befragten ausschließlich E-Zigaretten, 6,7% E- und Tabakzigaretten und 20,3% ausschließlich Tabakzigaretten vor der Schwangerschaft. In der Schwangerschaft nutzten 0,5% E-Zigaretten und 9,1% Tabakzigaretten. 86,9% aller Schwangeren waren der Ansicht, dass E-Zigaretten nicht als Alternative zu Tabakzigaretten genutzt werden sollten. Befragte, die die Tabakzigarette während der Schwangerschaft nutzten, vertraten seltener diese Einstellung als Nichtnutzer (78,0% vs. 88,0%; p=0,045). Der aktuelle Konsum der E-Zigarette (bzw. Tabakzigarette) durch den Partner erfolgte bei 5,5% (bzw. 24,4%) der Befragten. 18,5% (bzw. 9,3%) der Partner mit E-Zigarettenkonsum (bzw. Tabakzigarettenkonsum) konsumierten zuhause. Schlussfolgerungen: Die aktive E-Zigarettenexposition ist – im Gegensatz zur aktiven Tabakzigarettenexposition - in der Schwangerschaft bisher gering. Gleichzeitig kommt eine passive Exposition durch den konsumierenden Partner von Schwangeren häufiger bei der E-Zigarette vor. Die Ergebnisse betonen die Wichtigkeit der weiterführenden Tabakprävention und der Erforschung der Gesundheitsrisiken des Passivdampfes in der Schwangerschaft.

T1 - Sozioökonomische Unterschiede in der Inanspruchnahme haus- und fachärztlicher Versorgung – Ergebnisse einer systematischen Literaturrecherche T2 - Gesundheitswesen 2019 N2 - Hintergrund: Sozioökonomische Ungleichheiten in der gesundheitlichen Versorgung werden häufig krankheitsspezifisch untersucht, während die Evidenz zu Unterschieden in der Inanspruchnahme in der Gesamtbevölkerung bislang unzureichend ist. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, den internationalen Stand zum Zusammenhang zwischen dem Sozialstatus und der Inanspruchnahme von Haus- und Fachärzten systematisch aufzubereiten. Methode: In den Datenbanken Medline und Web of Science wurde eine systematische Literaturrecherche durchgeführt, um quantitative Studien aus den Jahren 2003 bis 2018 zu identifizieren. Von 1214 Treffern werden aktuell 69 Volltexte in Hinblick auf die Einschlusskriterien überprüft. Ergebnisse: Die Inanspruchnahme wird entweder als „Anzahl der Arztkontakte“ gemessen oder zwischen Nutzung und Nicht-Nutzung eines Haus- oder Facharztes in einem bestimmten Zeitraum unterschieden. Die bisher gesichteten Studien deuten darauf hin, dass sich die sozioökonomischen Ungleichheiten in der Inanspruchnahme der haus- und fachärztlichen Versorgung unterscheiden. Während Fachärzte seltener von Menschen mit niedrigem Sozialstatus aufgesucht werden, sind die Ungleichheiten bei Hausärzten geringer und die Studien konnten entweder keine sozioökonomischen Unterschiede aufzeigen oder fanden, dass Menschen mit niedrigem Sozialstatus häufiger eine Primärversorgung in Anspruch nehmen. Diskussion: Sozioökonomische Unterschiede zu Ungunsten der sozial benachteiligten Bevölkerung bestehen möglicherweise deutlicher bei Fachärzten im Vergleich zu Hausärzten. Gerade in der Inanspruchnahme von Fachärzten besteht daher Handlungsbedarf zur Verringerung der Ungleichheiten, um eine bedarfsgerechte Inanspruchnahme der Versorgung zu gewährleisten. Mögliche Gründe für die Unterschiede sollen bei einem Vergleich der Studien untersucht werden, um Implikationen für eine Verbesserung der Versorgung abzuleiten.

Jahrestagung der DGEpi, 11-13. September, Ulm N2 - Hintergrund: Der Wohnort kann eine Dimension sozialer Ungleichheiten darstellen, und es gibt Hinweise dafür, dass sich dieser bereits auf die perinatale Entwicklung auswirken könnte. Die zugrunde liegenden Wirkmechanismen sind nach wie vor unbekannt; theorie-basierte und hypothesengeleitete Analysen fehlen. Um diesen Herausforderungen zu begegnen, untersucht diese Studie, inwieweit kleinräumige Merkmale zu einem niedrigen Geburtsgewicht beitragen, unabhängig von individuellen Merkmalen. Auf der Grundlage eines konzeptionellen Modells1 wurden kleinräumige Merkmale ausgewählt, erhoben und deren Auswirkungen auf niedriges Geburtsgewicht analysiert. Methoden: Die Individualdaten stammen aus der Geburtskohortenstudie „Gesundheit von Babys und Kindern in Bielefeld“. Die Stichprobe besteht aus 958 Frauen und ihren Säuglingen, verteilt auf 80 statistische Bezirke in Bielefeld. Kleinräumige Daten wurden anhand von lokalen Lärmkarten, dem Emissionskataster, Google Street View und dem Melderegister erhoben. Zur Quantifizierung des Einflusses kleinräumiger Merkmale wurde eine lineare Mehrebenenanalyse mit einer Zwei-Ebenen-Struktur (Individuen, die in statistische Bezirke eingebettet sind) durchgeführt. Ergebnisse: Insgesamt sind die Auswirkungen der ausgewählten kleinräumigen Merkmale gering bis nicht existent, es zeigen sich keine signifikanten Effekten für niedriges Geburtsgewicht. Tendenziell weisen Neugeborene aus ästhetisch weniger ansprechenden und subjektiv unsicher wahrgenommenen Stadtteilen einen höheren Anteil an niedrigem Geburtsgewicht auf. Schlussfolgerungen: Die Analyse liefert keine eindeutigen Hinweise auf negative Auswirkungen kleinräumiger Faktoren auf ein niedriges Geburtsgewicht. Auf methodischer Seite bestätigt die Studie, dass ein angemessener Stichprobenumfang, eine zuverlässige Expositionsabschätzung und die Operationalisierung des kleinräumigen Kontextes mit Blick auf die verfügbaren Daten die zentralen Herausforderungen des Forschungsfeldes darstellen.

However, studies examining the development and drivers of health inequalities during this particular life stage are limited in number and have produced varied results. This study investigates trajectories of self-rated health and overweight from 14 to 25 years of age, stratified by parental education, and explores the role of potential mediators (educational achievement, health behaviours, psychosocial factors, working conditions). We rely on prospective cohort data from the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS), a representative sample of 14,981 German ninth graders interviewed yearly from 2011 to 2021 (n = 90,096 person-years). First, we estimated random-effects growth curves for self-rated health and overweight over participants’ age and calculated the average marginal effect of high versus low parental education. Second, a series of simulation-based mediation analyses were performed to test how much of health inequalities were explained by children’s educational attainment (years of school education, years in university), health behaviours (smoking, alcohol, physical inactivity), psychosocial factors (number of grade repetitions, years in unemployment, chronic stress, self-esteem) and working conditions (physical and psychosocial job demands). We accounted for potential confounding by controlling for age, sex, migration background, residential area, household composition, and interview mode. Results show that higher parental education was related to higher self-rated health and lower probabilities of being overweight. Interaction between parental education and age indicated that, after some equalisation in late adolescence, health inequalities increased in young adulthood. Furthermore, educational attainment, health behaviours, psychosocial factors, and early-career working conditions played a significant role in mediating health inequalities. Of the variables examined, the level of school education and years spent in university were particular strong mediating factors. School education accounted for around one-third of the inequalities in self-rated health and one-fifth of the differences in overweight among individuals. Results support the idea that the transition to adulthood is a sensitive period in life and that early socio-economic adversity increases the likelihood to accumulate health disadvantages in multiple dimensions. In Germany, a country with comparatively low educational mobility, intergenerational continuities in class location seem to play a key role in the explanation of health inequalities in youth.

These reflect access to healthcare, which is shaped on a smaller scale than the national level, by the institutions and establishments of a health system that individuals interact with on a regular basis. This scoping review maps the existing evidence about the influence of mesolevel access characteristics and socioeconomic position on healthcare use. Furthermore, it summarizes the evidence on the interaction between mesolevel access characteristics and socioeconomic inequalities in healthcare use. Methods: We used the databases MEDLINE (PubMed), Web of Science, Scopus, and PsycINFO and followed the 'Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR)' recommendations. The included quantitative studies used a measure of socioeconomic position, a mesolevel access characteristic, and a measure of individual healthcare utilisation. Studies published between 2000 and 2020 in high income countries were considered. Results: Of the 9501 potentially eligible manuscripts, 158 studies were included after a two-stage screening process. The included studies contained a wide spectrum of outcomes and were thus summarised to the overarching categories: use of preventive services, use of curative services, and potentially avoidable service use. Exemplary outcomes were screening uptake, physician visits and avoidable hospitalisations. Access variables included healthcare system characteristics such as physician density or distance to physician. The effects of socioeconomic position on healthcare use as well as of mesolevel access characteristics were investigated by most studies. The results show that socioeconomic and access factors play a crucial role in healthcare use. However, the interaction between socioeconomic position and mesolevel access characteristics is addressed in only few studies. Conclusions: Socioeconomic position and mesolevel access characteristics are important when examining variation in healthcare use. Additionally, studies provide initial evidence that moderation effects exist between the two factors, although research on this topic is sparse. Further research is needed to investigate whether adapting access characteristics at the mesolevel can reduce socioeconomic inequity in health care use.

Deutscher Krebskongress. Fortschritt gemeinsam gestalten, 21.–24. Februar 2024, Berlin: ABSTRACTS N2 - Background: In Germany, more than 4.65 million people are currently living with a cancer diagnosis. Patients can benefit from a healthy lifestyle both during and after therapy. In order to provide patients with practical and scientifically based information on health behavior, the authors developed “Aktiv leben mit Krebs” (ALMIK) using participatory program planning. Methods: A non-blinded randomized controlled trial with intervention (IG) and wait list control group (WCG) was conducted at NCT/UCC Dresden and UCCSH in Kiel in 2022/2023 with a convenience sample of n=227 patients during and after therapy (65.7 years ± 11.7, 54.2% male). IG and WCG received a questionnaire at baseline and after 1 month. IG received the ALMIK brochure and a link to the website with videos. Changes in health literacy (HLS-EU Q) and acceptance were assessed. Result: Acceptance of ALMIK in IG was high: 94.1% of all n=109 patients in the IG reported having used the brochure. 40.4% had visited the website. Videos were used by 36.7%. Almost all patients rated the brochure as understandable (97.8%), relevant (90.3%) and clearly presented (98.9%). Patients also rated the website as well-structured (95.6%) and attractively designed (97.6%), and the videos as understandable (93.0%) and relevant (79.1%). Overall, 97.8% were satisfied with the program and 98.9% would recommend it to others. Patients of IG did not achieve higher HLS-score in comparison to WCG (p=0.75). Discussion: The brochure was used by many patients and was very well accepted. The website and videos were used less frequently, but overall by more than one-third of patients, who were also satisfied with them. Health literacy was not increased by ALMIK, which may be due to the low intervention strength. Conclusion: The high number of participants who used ALMIK indicates a high need for health behavior information for cancer patients.

We aimed to explore how occupational, psychosocial and partnership-related factors were associated with their self-reported mental well-being during the first COVID-19 wave. Methods: Five hundred fifty participants of the BaBi cohort study (est. 2013, Bielefeld, North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany) were invited to complete an online survey and to take part in email interviews (April–May 2020). With survey data, we assessed self-reported mental well-being through validated instruments (eight-item Patient Health Questionnaire; short version of the Symptom Checklist) and ran linear regression models for occupational, psychosocial and partnership-related factors. We performed content analysis on the interviews’ data to further understand the determinants of the women’s mental well-being. Results: One hundred twenty-four women participated in the survey; of which 17 also participated in the interviews. A perceived lack of support in childcare was associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms, while having a higher internal locus of control was associated with lower levels. Psychological distress was higher in those reporting lack of emotional or childcare support. Interviews confirmed the interplay of potential stressors and highlighted the difficulties to reconcile different expectations of motherhood. Discussion: Occupational, psychosocial and partner-related factors can act (to varying degree) both as resources and stressors to the self-reported mental well-being of mothers of young children. These impacts took different forms and created opportunities or challenges, depending on specific life circumstances, such as work or family situations, relationships and own psychosocial resources. Although not representative, our study contributes to building the COVID-19 evidence base, delineating the mental health toll of the pandemic on mothers of young children and the factors that contribute to it.

The aim of this review is (i) to synthesise the evidence on risk of infection and transmission among migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and internally displaced populations, and (ii) the effect of lockdown measures on these populations. We searched MEDLINE and WOS, preprint servers, and pertinent websites between 1st December 2019 and 26th June 2020. The included studies showed a high heterogeneity in study design, population, outcome and quality. The incidence risk of SARS-CoV-2 varied from 0•12% to 2•08% in non-outbreak settings and from 5•64% to 21•15% in outbreak settings. Migrants showed a lower hospitalisation rate compared to non-migrants. Negative impacts on mental health due to lockdown measures were found across respective studies. However, findings show a tenuous and heterogeneous data situation, showing the need for more robust and comparative study designs.

However, research on SDC is limited. This study analyzes and compares midwives’ experiences and perspectives on factors that promote or limit SDC in hospitals, birthing centers and during home births in Germany. We argue that these insights are essential in order to foster self-determination and to avoid its violation. Methods A qualitative case study was conducted based on semi-structured face-to-face interviews with midwives working in hospitals, birthing centers, and offering home births in Germany. In total, nine interviews were conducted in 2021 and have been audiotaped, transcribed, anonymized and analyzed by use of Thematic Analysis. Results The results indicate eight inter-related categories, each of which imply promoting and limiting factors: 1) Structural/ legal conditions; 2) Perception of birth (e. g. as natural or medical process; required competence and control); 3) Trust and atmosphere; 4) Getting acquainted/relationship building; 5) Birthing person’s socioeconomic position; 6) Birthing person’s preparation/ education; 7) Birthing person’s capability of decision making and expression; and 8) Behavior of accompanying persons. Moreover, we identified midwives’ strategies to extend possibilities of choice. Several factors clearly differ depending on the birth setting. Conclusions The opportunities for SDC seem to differ according to the setting (e.g. institutional routines), inter-personal relations (e.g. getting acquainted, trust), and individual factors (e.g. socioeconomic position, capabilities). Hence, political, institutional and individual strategies may support SDC in consideration of the above factors. Measures may, among others, include the improvement of information processes, the reduction of economic barriers, relationship building before and during birth as well as respective structural adjustments.

Analyses of German school entry examination T2 - European Journal of Public Health N2 - Background Children's health and development are strongly linked to their living situation, including their family's socioeconomic position (SEP) and living region. However, research on the impact of the living region on children's development beyond family SEP is scarce. This study evaluated whether rurality and regional socioeconomic deprivation (DEP) are associated with children's development independently of family SEP. Methods The study used population-based data of 5-6.5 years old children (n = 22,801) from mandatory school entry examinations (SEE) in the German federal state of Brandenburg, which were examined in 2018/2019. The SEE data have been linked with data on i. rurality that was defined by an inverted population density and ii. regional DEP that were provided by the German Index of Socioeconomic Deprivation. By binary multilevel models, the predictive values of rurality and regional DEP for global developmental delay (GDD) were evaluated, while adjusting for family SEP. Results Children with high family SEP showed reduced odds for GDD compared to medium family SEP (female: OR = 4.26, CI95=3.14-5.79, male: OR = 3.46, CI95=2.83-4.22) and low family SEP (female: OR = 16.58, CI95=11.90-23.09, male: OR = 12.79, CI95=10.13-16.16). Regional DEP additionally predicted GDD, with higher odds for children from more deprived regions (female: OR = 1.35, CI95=1.13-1.62, male: OR = 1.20, CI95=1.05-1.39). Rurality did not predict GDD beyond family SEP and regional DEP. Conclusions In addition to family SEP, the regional DEP has an effect on children's developmental delay. Hence, Public Health should take into account regional socioeconomic conditions as determinant of health over the life course in addition to family SEP.

Stress is believed to be a relevant pathway by which migration may be associated with these risks. In this study, we tested associations of Turkish origin with stress biology and psychological stress experiences during pregnancy. Methods 140 pregnant women (33 of Turkish/26 of other origin) participated in a prospective cohort study that was carried out in Bielefeld and Berlin (Spallek et al., 2020). Inflammatory markers CRP and IL-6 from venous blood samples and diurnal cortisol profiles from salivary cortisol samples were derived and participants completed the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD) at two study visits during pregnancy (T1: 20-25 weeks of gestation, T2: 30-35 weeks of gestation). Multilevel models were conducted to account for the nested data structure due to repeated measurements. Results Compared to non-migrant women, women of Turkish origin had significantly higher inflammatory levels (b = 0.28, SE = 0.14, p=.052) (Spallek et al., 2021), a blunted cortisol awakening response (b=-0.21, CI=-0.38–0.03, p<.05), a flatter diurnal cortisol slope (b = 0.02, CI = 0.00-0.04, p<.05), and higher PSS (b = 0.46, SE = 0.13, p< .001) and CESD scores (b = 0.29, SE = 0.08, p<.001) during pregnancy after adjusting for socioeconomic factors. Conclusions The results of our study suggest higher stress at the biological and psychological level in pregnant women of Turkish origin. Stress is a risk factor for pregnancy complications and poor birth and child developmental outcomes. To reduce such unequally distributed risks, interventions for stress reduction are needed that are tailored to women of Turkish origin.

Methods Using data from wave 2 of the KiGGS study (1,838 female and 1,718 male 11- to 17-year-olds), linear regression analyses were conducted to decompose the total effects of parents’ education, occupation, income, socioeconomic position index, and adolescents’ subjective social status on SRH into direct effects and indirect effects through familial determinants (family cohesion, parenting styles, parental well-being, stress, obesity, smoking and sporting activity). Results A significant total effect of all socioeconomic position indicators on SRH was found, except for income in male adolescents. In female adolescents, more than 70% of the total effects of each socioeconomic position indicator were explained by familial mediators, whereas no significant direct effects remained. The most important mediator was parental well-being, followed by family cohesion, parental smoking and sporting activity. In male adolescents, the associations of parental education, the socioeconomic position index and subjective social status with SRH were also mediated by familial determinants (family cohesion, parental smoking and obesity). However, a significant direct effect of subjective social status remained. Conclusions The family appears to play an important role in explaining health inequalities, particularly in female adolescents. Reducing health inequalities in adolescence requires policy interventions, community-based strategies, as well as programs to improve parenting and family functioning.

In contrast, the knowledge concerning the differing context factors and the underlying mechanisms of current PSC which could inform policy recommendations is scant. The study aims at unravelling the contexts, mechanisms and outcomes of PSC for UMRs. For a realist review (RR), scientific evidence and gray literature were synthesised consistent with the RAMESES publication standards for realist synthesis. Based on an iterative keyword search in electronic databases (e.g., PubMed) and screening, 34 works from 2005 to 2019 were included in a realist synthesis. Theory-informed context-mechanism-outcome configurations (CMOs) were extracted, to explain underlying processes and mechanisms. Characterised by their interrelatedness, the dominant CMOs included the UMRs' intersections of transitions (e.g., adolescence and migration), their needs for culture-, and gender-sensitive PSC, and the undersupply of PSC. These contexts and outcomes are mediated by pre-, peri- and post-migratory stressors as well as care structures and are moreover influenced by overarching discourses and concepts. They comprise adverse and beneficial mechanisms in the PSC of UMRs. The existing literature grasps the PSC of UMRs by different disciplines and approaches but does not offer a comprehensive overview on micro-macro intersections and included discourses. The inclusion of lay perspectives and an intersectional approach could inform health service research. The reflection of UMR-related categorical constructs of resilience and vulnerability, discourses of othering, as well as restrictive health policies may guide policy recommendations.

Still, the practice of mass quarantine in reception centres and asylum camps has been criticised for its discrimination of refugees and asylum seekers. Building on the concept of othering, this article argues that processes of othering are structurally anchored in German asylum regulations and they have further pervaded public health measures against COVID-19. The practice of mass quarantine made the negative consequences of exclusionary othering for public health particularly noticeable. In the light of recent data indicating this measure to be epidemiologically, legally and ethically insufficient, we apply the concept of othering to public health and discuss (1) exclusionary, (2) inclusionary and (3) diversity-sensitive approaches to public health. We finally conclude that a shift of perspective from exclusion to inclusion, from subordination to empowerment and from silencing to participation is urgently required.

Chronic stress and perturbations of stress-responsive physiological systems, including the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)-axis, are believed to in part mediate this relationship. Cortisol plays an important role in the association between maternal stress during pregnancy and many pregnancy-, birth- and offspring-related outcomes. We therefore examined whether maternal migrant background is associated with diurnal cortisol variation during pregnancy. Methods 109 pregnant women (incl. n = 32 Turkish origin women) that participated in a multi-site prospective cohort study in Germany collected saliva samples across the day on two consecutive days around 24 and 32 weeks gestation. Hierarchical linear models were applied to quantify associations between migrant background and diurnal cortisol variation across pregnancy. Results Women of Turkish origin exhibited a significantly lower cortisol awakening response (CAR) and a flatter diurnal cortisol slope (DCS) compared to non-migrant women after adjusting for household income. These relationships between migrant status and diurnal cortisol variation were mainly driven by 2nd generation migrants. Discussion A potential HPA axis dysregulation of Turkish-origin pregnant women may contribute to the intergenerational transmission of health disadvantages in this group.

An action model T2 - European Journal of Public Health N2 - Background Midwifery care is increasingly discussed in terms of its ability to promote a self-determined childbirth. The degree of self-determination (SD) depends on the extent to which women's preferences are negotiated and implemented. From the perspective of midwives in different obstetric settings in Germany, this study answered the research question: “How do midwives deal with women's preferences during birth?”. Methods 11 semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted with active midwives. The sample showed a high variance in terms of obstetric settings (clinics, birth centers, home births), regions, and participants’ characteristics (e. g. experience, age). All interviews were recorded, transcribed, anonymized, and analyzed using the Grounded Theory Methodology (Strauss/Corbin, 1994). Results A model consisting of 7 steps was developed: 1) Interpret the situation; 2) Prioritize relevant parameters; 3) Determine a frame of possibilities; 4) Match the preference(s) to the frame of possibilities; 5) Negotiate preference(s); 6) Continuously monitor contextual/situational changes; 7) Adjust the frame of possibilities. The actions are related to contextual conditions (structural; interpersonal; personal; health situation; course of birth; understanding of birth). The model shows how midwives can promote SD even if prior preferences are discarded or modified at birth. Conclusions The model describes how midwives in Germany deal with women's preferences during birth, which factors they consider decisive in doing so, and how SD may be promoted despite of discarded or modified preferences. Further research should examine the role of relationship building, test the model with regard to its generalizability, and use it to analyze and support person-centered midwifery care. Key messages • The model describes how midwives in different obstetric settings in Germany deal with women’s preferences during birth and, thereby, influence self-determination. • Midwives can promote self-determination also if prior preferences are discarded, modified, or redeveloped at birth.

Digital technologies can contribute to healthy behaviour. We aimed to investigate a digital technology use for physical activity (PA) promotion using a nationwide survey. Methods. Our cross-sectional survey was conducted using a panel sample of 1020 adult internet users living in Germany (age: 18-92 years, 47% female). Computer-assisted telephone interviews were conducted using a self-developed questionnaire in November 2022. Survey data were analysed using relative frequencies and bivariate logistic regression. Findings. Among all participants, 626/1020 reported internet use in health context and 278/626 (44%) reported digital technology use for PA promotion. Most of the 278 users for PA promotion reported that such technologies are easy to use (92%) and use them at least once a week (91%). The reasons for using digital technologies were to measure own PA (74%) or to find exercise ideas (57%). Most participants reported using mobile devices (e.g., smartphones, 77%, or activity trackers, 58%) and rated device feedback as helpful (69%). Among sociodemographic factors (age, gender, education, household income), health status and eHealth literacy, younger age was the only significant predictor (OR=.98, 95% CI: .97-.99) of digital technology use for PA promotion. Discussion. Despite their availability, the prevalence of digital technology use for PA promotion is still low among adult internet users in Germany. Such technologies are likely to support PA behaviour change because users rate them as easy to use, their feedback as helpful and use them frequently. Health interventions are necessary to encourage digital technology use for PA promotion among adults in Germany.

We aimed to assess the attitudes towards digital technology use in health context using a nationwide survey. Methods A cross-sectional nationwide survey of a panel sample of adult internet users living in Germany was conducted in November 2022. Participants completed computer-assisted telephone interviews using a self-developed, 30-item questionnaire. Survey data were analysed using frequencies and univariate multiple regression analysis. Findings Among 1,020 participants (18-92 years, 56±16 years, 47% female), 62% completed up to tertiary education and 42% reported the household income of up to 3500 Euro/month. The minority of participants reported that they trust health websites when recommended by friends and family (39%), that their social network relies on the internet for health information (35%), that they consider the internet as the immediate source of health information (39%) and that they are interested in digital health technologies (40%). Most participants (71%) reported that they prefer to receive health information in person or on paper. The preference for such sources of health information was associated with lower eHealth literacy (β= -.12, p<.001), worse health status (β= -.08, p=.026) and female gender (β= -.08, p=.033). Discussion The trust in the internet as the source of health information and the interest in digital health technologies were low among internet users in Germany. Interventions should strengthen eHealth literacy to empower adults to find, understand and assess reliable health information on the Internet.

T2 - Brain, Behavior, and Immunity N2 - Methods: 140 pregnant women participated in a multi-site prospective cohort study in, Germany with two study visits during pregnancy (T1: 24.44 ± 2.34, T2: 32.92 ± 1.72 weeks of gestation). Maternal BMI was derived from body length and current weight and was residualized for gestational week at assessment. Pro-inflammatory markers CRP and IL-6 were analyzed from venous blood samples and combined into a repeatedly measured composite inflammation score. Results: In a path model, T1-BMI significantly predicted T2-inflammation (b=0.53, SE=0.02, p <.001), and T1-inflammation predicted T2-BMI (b=0.46, SE=0.42, p <.001), suggesting a bidirectional relationship between BMI and inflammation. However, further adjustment for pre-pregnancy BMI diminished the association between T1-inflammation and T2-BMI (b=0.004, SE=0.22, p =.922), whereas the relationship between T1-BMI and T2-inflammation remained significant (b=0.20, SE=0.01, p =.004). Thus, adjusting for pre-pregnancy BMI underlined a unidirectional relationship. Conclusions: Based on these results, reducing overweight may be a relevant target for interventions to reduce inflammation and the risk of subsequent adverse outcomes.

This review aims to summarize and compare the evidence on socioeconomic inequalities in consulting primary-care or specialist physicians in the general adult population in high-income countries. Methods We carried out a systematic search across the most relevant databases (Web of Science, Medline) and included all studies, published since 2004, reporting associations between SES and utilization of primary-care and/or specialist physicians. In total, 57 studies fulfilled the eligibility criteria. Results Many studies found socioeconomic inequalities in physician utilization, but inequalities were more pronounced in visiting specialists than primary-care physicians. The results of the studies varied strongly according to the operationalization of utilization, namely whether a physician was visited (probability) or how often a physician was visited (frequency). For probabilities of visiting primary-care physicians predominantly no association with SES was found, but frequencies of visits were higher in the most disadvantaged. The most disadvantaged often had lower probabilities of visiting specialists, but in many studies no link was found between the number of visits and SES. Conclusion This systematic review emphasizes that inequalities to the detriment of the most deprived is primarily a problem in the probability of visiting specialist physicians. Healthcare policy should focus first off on effective access to specialist physicians in order to tackle inequalities in healthcare.

Early studies on animals showed that in utero exposure to e-cigarettes can have negative health outcomes for the fetus. There has been only limited research into the risk perceptions of e-cigarette use during pregnancy. This study was conducted to comprehensively characterize the constructs of risk perceptions with regard to e-cigarette use during pregnancy using an Integrated Health Belief Model (IHBM). Methods Our STudy on E-cigarettes and Pregnancy (STEP)used a mixed methods approach, with the study divided intoan initial qualitative part and a quantitative part. A netno-graphic approach was used for the first part, which consistedof the analysis of 1552 posts from 25 German-language on-line discussion threads on e-cigarette use during pregnancy. Using these qualitative results, a quantitative questionnaire was developed to explore risk perception constructs about e‑cigarette use during pregnancy. This questionnaire was subsequently administered to pregnant women (n = 575) in onehospital in Hamburg, Germany. Descriptive and bivariate analysis was used to examine differences in risk perception ac-cording to participantsʼ tobacco and e-cigarette user status before and during pregnancy. While the study design, methods and sample have been extensively described in our recently published study protocol in the January 2020 issue of Geburtshilfe und Frauenheilkunde, this paper is devoted to apresentation of the results of our mixed methods study. Results Themes related to perceived threats identified in the qualitative study part were nicotine-related health risks and po-tential health risks of additional ingredients. Perceived benefits were possibility and facilitation of smoking cessationand a pre-sumed potential to reduce harm. The subsequent quantitative part showed that nearly all participants (99.3%) perceivede‑cigarettes which contained nicotine as constituting a threat to the health of the unborn child. The most commonly perceived barrier was health-related (96.6%), while the most commonly perceived benefit was a reduction in the amount of tobacco cigarettes consumed (31.8%). We found that partic-ularly perceived benefits varied depending on the partici-pantʼs tobacco and e-cigarette user status. Conclusion When considering future prevention strategies, the potential health risks and disputed effectiveness of e-cigarettes as a tool for smoking cessation need to be taken intoaccount and critically discussed.

The population coverage and linkage possibilities that these data provide make for a yet untapped potential. Although vBI is a complex phenomenon best measured with dedicated instruments, we argue that maternity care providers' data could contribute to enhance our knowledge of the manifestations and frequency of vBI, and allow for analyses across different sub-groups of the population. Looking into the German standardized perinatal data, we investigate which variables are relevant to vBI-related research, and how complete their reporting is. Methods: First, we analyse state-of-the-art frameworks and recommendations, and, for each vBI-related domain, we search for and list corresponding variables in the perinatal data which could contribute to a better understanding of vBI issues. Second, we use an example and analyse the content of perinatal data obtained between 2013 and 2016 in the context of the BaBi birth cohort study set in Bielefeld, Germany. We use descriptive statistics to assess the completeness of the data. Results: The vBI-related variables can be classified in three main categories: discrimination based on specific patient socio-demographic attributes (e.g., height and weight to calculate BMI before pregnancy, foreign origin), indication for medical interventions (i.e., medicalization-related variables: indication for cesarean sections and induction), and supportive care, in particular the mobilization dimension (e.g., continuous fetal heartbeat monitoring). The data analyses included 876 births, of which 601 were vaginal birth. We found poor reporting on demographic variables in terms of completeness. Medicalization and mobilization variables are better documented, although limited in scope. Conclusions: Putting more emphasis on the completeness of standardized data could increase their potential for vBI-related research. Perinatal data alone are insufficient to assess vBI, but a broader, theory-informed discussion of indicators to be included in standardized datasets would contribute to capturing the different aspects of integrity violation in a more systematic way and expand the evidence-base on different types of vBI.

Internationale Studien zeigen, dass minderjährige unbegleitete Flüchtlinge eine besondere Risikogruppe darstellen. Empirische Ergebnisse über die gesundheitliche Situation von unbegleiteten minderjährigen Flüchtlingen in Deutschland in der aktuellen Situation sind kaum vorhanden. Ziel dieses Beitrags ist die Beschreibung der gesundheitlichen Situation und Versorgung von unbegleiteten minderjährigen Flüchtlingen in Bielefeld. Dafür werden zwei qualitative und eine quantitative Studie aus Bielefeld genutzt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die gesundheitliche Versorgung von unbegleiteten minderjährigen Flüchtlingen Besonderheiten unterliegt und weisen vor allem auf zwei spezifische (medizinische) Bedarfe hin: die psychische/psychiatrische Versorgung und die Versorgung von Infektionskrankheiten. Weitere Herausforderungen in der gesundheitlichen Versorgung ergeben sich aus der spezifischen Situation der unbegleiteten minderjährigen Flüchtlinge und schließen die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen sowie sprachliche und kulturelle Kompetenzen auf Seiten der Versorger und auf Seiten der unbegleiteten minderjährigen Flüchtlinge ein. N2 - Unaccompanied minor refugees are children or adolescents below the age of 18 years who are not accompanied by their parents. International studies show that unaccompanied minor refugees represent a special risk group. Currently, empirical study results about the health status of unaccompanied minor refugees barely exist for Germany. Therefore, the goal of this article is an assessment of the health status and health care of unaccompanied minor refugees in Bielefeld, Germany. For this purpose, two qualitative studies and one quantitative study from Bielefeld are used. Results demonstrate that the health care of unaccompanied minor refugees underlies certain peculiarities that indicate major medical needs: Firstly, the need for psychological/psychiatric care and secondly the need for health care regarding infectious diseases. Further challenges in the health care needs of this population group result from its specific situation, and comprise legal conditions, as well as language and cultural competencies on behalf of the health care providers and the unaccompanied minor refugees themselves.

In addition, exposure to e-cigarettes has been progressively discussed as a new threat to fetal health. Until now, there has been a lack of studies examining active and passive exposure to tobacco and e-cigarettes among pregnant women. The objective of our current STudy on E-cigarettes and Pregnancy (STEP) was to advance and complement the current knowledge regarding active and passive exposure to tobacco and e-cigarettes before pregnancy and during early and late pregnancy. Methods One element of the STEP study was a quantitative cross-sectional design: A sample of 540 pregnant women recruited at an obstetrician clinic in Hamburg from April 2018 to January 2019 were surveyed once via a standardized questionnaire and provided complete information regarding their consumption of tobacco and e-cigarettes. We performed a descriptive analysis of tobacco and e-cigarette use before pregnancy and during early and late pregnancy, as well as bivariate analysis of these variables with sociodemographic determinants. Passive exposure was assessed by asking the participating pregnant women about the consumption of tobacco and e-cigarettes by their partners, in general, and in their homes. Results Before pregnancy, 20.0% of the participants used tobacco cigarettes exclusively, 1.3% used e-cigarettes exclusively, and 6.5% were dual users. Educational level was significantly associated with tobacco cigarette use (p < 0.001) and dual use (p = 0.047) before pregnancy. During early (late) pregnancy, 8.7% (2.8%) used tobacco cigarettes and 0.4% (0.0%) used e-cigarettes exclusively. Twenty-point nine percent of women’s partners consumed tobacco cigarettes exclusively, 2.7% consumed e-cigarettes exclusively, and 2.7% consumed both. A total of 8.5% (16.7%) of the partners who consumed tobacco cigarettes exclusively (e-cigarettes exclusively) did so in the women’s homes. Conclusions for Practice Among pregnant women, the use of tobacco cigarettes remains prominent before and during pregnancy, while e-cigarette use predominately occurs before pregnancy. Our study shows that pregnant women are frequently exposed to their partners’ tobacco and e-cigarette use within their homes. Strategies to reduce such exposure should be further intensified. Significance In the last decade, e-cigarettes have become popular, and e-cigarette use has been increasing, even among pregnant women. However, there is a lack of knowledge concerning the exposure to e-cigarettes before pregnancy and during early and late pregnancy, as well as studies comparing e-cigarettes and tobacco cigarettes. The current study found that active exposure to e-cigarettes before pregnancy is high, while exposure during pregnancy is marginal. In contrast, exposure to tobacco cigarettes before and in early pregnancy is high but decreases during late pregnancy. In addition, the results of our study show that pregnant women are passively exposed to tobacco and e-cigarettes at home. Pregnant women should be advised against exposing themselves, actively or passively, to tobacco and e-cigarette smoke.

Psychosocial care (PSC) is of high importance for UMRs, but little is known about barriers to access and utilisation of PSC across place and gender. The aims of this gender-sensitive qualitative study will be to build on the existing body of literature and to provide qualitative evidence on the contexts and mechanisms of PSC for male and female UMRs in Germany by comparing two German regions. Methods and analysis: Following the study preparing realist review, a qualitative study will be undertaken in Berlin and Central German cities. Approximately 24 experts from the field of PSC and 12 lay UMRs will participate in face-to-face, semistructured interviews. Data will be transcribed and analysed based on the grounded theory research paradigm. Ethics and dissemination: Only participants who have been informed in both German and their native tongue and who have signed a declaration of consent will be included in the study. The study will comply rigorously with German data protection standards. Approval from the Ethical Review Committee at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Germany has been obtained and granted. The results of the study will be presented at several conferences and will be published in high-quality, peer-reviewed international journals. The results will display a differentiated picture of the PSC of UMRs in Germany. Such knowledge is a precondition for a ‘science of change’ that translates explanations into practical recommendations on how to improve healthcare policies.

Analyses from Two German Studies T2 - Maternal and Child Health Journal N2 - Objective: Non-medical antenatal care (ANC) refers to a range of non-medical services available to women during pregnancy aiming at supporting women and prepare them for the birth and the postpartum period. In Germany, they include antenatal classes, breastfeeding classes and pregnancy-specific yoga or gymnastics courses. Studies suggest that various types of non-medical ANC carry benefits for both the women and their babies. Little is known about the uptake of non-medical ANC among different socioeconomic population subgroups, but one may expect lower utilization among socio-economically disadvantaged women. We analyzed factors contributing to the utilization of non-medical ANC in general and antenatal classes in particular. Methods: Baseline data of the Bielefeld BaBi birth cohort (2013–2016) and the Berlin perinatal study (2011–2012) were analyzed. Comparing the two cohorts allowed to increase the socio-economic and migration background variance of the study population and to capture the effect of the local context on uptake of services. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to study associations between the uptake of non-medical ANC and socio-economic and migration status.ResultsIn Berlin and Bielefeld, being a first generation migrant and having lower levels of education were associated with lower non-medical ANC uptake. In Berlin, being a 2nd generation woman or having a low income was also associated with lower uptake. Conclusions for Practice: Our study suggests that non-medical ANC remains in some part the prerogative of non-migrant, well-educated and economically privileged women. Since differences in non-medical ANC have the potential to create inequalities in terms of birth outcomes and maternal health during pregnancy and post-partum, more efforts are needed to promote the use of non-medical ANC by all population groups.

The underlying pathways remain unknown; theory-based and hypothesis-driven analyses are lacking. To address these challenges, we aim to establish to what extent small-area characteristics contribute to low birth weight (LBW), independently of individual characteristics. First, we select small-area characteristics based on a conceptual model and measure them. Then, we empirically analyse the impact of these characteristics on LBW. Material and methods: Individual data were provided by the birth cohort study “Health of infants and children in Bielefeld/Germany.” The sample consists of 892 eligible women and their infants distributed over 80 statistical districts in Bielefeld. Small-area data were obtained from local noise maps, emission inventory, Google Street View and civil registries. A linear multilevel analysis with a two-level structure (individuals nested within statistical districts) was conducted. Results: The effects of the selected small-area characteristics on LBW are small to non-existent, no significant effects are detected. The differences in proportion of LBW based on marginal effects are small, ranging from zero to 1.1%. Newborns from less aesthetic and subjectively perceived unsafe neighbourhoods tend to have higher proportions of LBW. Discussion: We could not find evidence for negative effects of small-area factors on LBW, but our study confirms that obtaining adequate sample size, reliable measure of exposure and using available data for operationalisation of the small-area context represent the core challenges in this field of research.

Civil and research networks criticized this measure, as crowded housing conditions limited the implementation of infection protection measures, and mass quarantine further increased the risk of infection. This raised the question why public health (PH) measures in these settings differed from those implemented in the general population, and which implications for future PH approaches can be identified. Problem description Considering the epidemiological evidence and ethical perspectives on the PH strategies described above, we applied the concepts of “Exclusionary Othering” and “Inclusionary Othering” to PH. We further discussed the Covid-19 management in German reception centers and asylum camps. Results We identified three conceptual approaches: 1) exclusionary, 2) inclusionary, and 3) diversity-sensitive approaches to PH. Exclusionary PH is characterized by an exclusion of less powerful groups despite negative health consequences. Inclusive approaches seek to empower less powerful groups in order to understand each other's needs, build cooperations, protect everyone and to prevent the development of “hot spots”. Diversity-sensitive PH approaches avoid othering and seek to implement measures for everyone, taking into account diverse needs, conditions, and resources. Lessons We propose a paradigm shift towards inclusionary and diversity-sensitive PH that benefits the entire population, including those forced to flee other countries. This requires a critical reflection of power dynamics and discrimination. The proposed concepts can be transferred to other social groups, regions, and areas of PH. Key messages Public health needs to shift its perspective from exclusion and subordination to inclusion and involvement. Inclusionary and diversity-sensitive PH approaches promote health equity.

However, the participation in the German mammography screening programme (MSP) among ethnic German migrants from countries of the former Soviet Union (called resettlers) is unclear so far. The aim of this study was to identify possible differences regarding MSP participation between resettlers from the FSU and the general German population. Methods – Data from two independent, complementary studies from North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany (a retrospective cohort study 1994–2013; a cross-sectional study 2013/14) were used for comparisons between resettlers and the general population: Odds Ratios (ORs) for MSP participation utilizing the cross-sectional data and time trends of breast cancer incidence rates as well as Chi-Square tests for breast cancer stages utilizing the cohort data. Results – Resettlers showed higher Odds to participate in the MSP than the general population (OR 2.42, 95% CI 1.08–5.42). Among resettlers, a large increase in incidence rates was observed during the MSP implementation (2005–2009), resulting in stable and comparable incidence rates after the implementation. Furthermore, pre-MSP implementation, the proportion of advanced breast cancer stages was higher among resettlers than in the German population, post-MSP implementation the proportion was comparable. Conclusions – MSP participating seems surprisingly high among resettlers. An explanation for the increased willingness to participate might be the structured invitation procedure of the MSP. However, the exact reasons remain unclear and future research is needed to confirm this hypothesis and rule out the possibility of selection bias in the cross-sectional study.

Measurement Invariance of Filter Questions and Validation T2 - European Journal of Psychological Assessment N2 - The Multidimensional Acculturative Stress Inventory (MASI) is an established measure of acculturative stress for people of Mexican origin living in the USA that has been associated with mental health outcomes in this population. We translated the MASI into German and adapted it for use with Turkish-origin immigrants in Germany. The MASI includes filter questions asking if a potentially stressful event had actually occurred before reporting the stress appraisal of these situations. Measurement invariance testing has become a standard practice to evaluate questionnaire translations, however, measurement invariance of filter questions has been scarcely studied. In Study 1, we evaluated measurement invariance of the filter questions between a German-based Turkish sample (N = 233) and the Mexican-origin sample from the original study (N = 174) and could show partial strong factorial invariance for three of the four factors. In Study 2, a validation study, relations between the German MASI scores and measures of acculturation and stress indicated discriminant validity. This study contributes to research on measurement invariance of filter questions, thereby providing a measure of acculturative stress that can be used in future research to understand the etiology of health disparities in Turkish-origin immigrants in Germany.

There is evidence that this is due in part to suboptimal antenatal care use and quality of care. Despite the fact that migrant women and descendants of migrants are often at risk of socioeconomic disadvantage, there is, in comparison, scarce and incomplete evidence on the role of socioeconomic position as an independent risk factor for emergency caesarean delivery. We therefore investigate whether and how migration background and two markers of socioeconomic position affect the risk of an emergency caesarean section and whether they interact with each other. METHODS: In 2013-2016, we recruited women during the perinatal period in Bielefeld, Germany, collecting data on health and socioeconomic and migration background, as well as routine perinatal data. We studied associations between migration background (1st generation migrant, 2nd/3rd generation woman, no migration background), socioeconomic status (educational attainment and net monthly household income), and the outcome emergency caesarean section. RESULTS: Of the 881 participants, 21% (n = 185) had an emergency caesarean section. Analyses showed no association between having an emergency caesarean section and migration status or education. Women in the lowest (< 800€/month) and second lowest (between 800 and 1750€/month) income categories were more likely (aOR: 1.96, CI: 1.01-3.81; and aOR: 2.36, CI: 1.27-4.40, respectively) to undergo an emergency caesarean section than women in the higher income groups. CONCLUSIONS: Migration status and education did not explain heterogeneity in mode of birth. Having a low household income, however, increased the chances of emergency caesarean section and thereby contributed towards producing health disadvantages. Awareness of these findings and measures to correct these inequalities could help to improve the quality of obstetric care.

Potential risk factorsfor maternal and child health should therefore be identifiedand reduced as early as possible. The consumption of e-ciga-rettes represents one of these potential risk factors. Exploringrisk perceptions about e-cigarette use during pregnancy canprovide early indications of possible user motives. Therefore,our mixed methodsSTudy onE-cigarettes andPregnancy(STEP) aimed to comprehensively analyze risk perceptionsabout e-cigarette use during pregnancy based on anInte-gratedHealthBeliefModel (IHBM). This paper describes thestudy design, methods, sample population and limitations ofSTEP. Methods: Our sequential mixed methods study combinedqualitative and quantitative approaches. In the qualitativesection of the study which preceded the quantitative part ofthe study, we aimed to characterize risk perceptions aboute‑cigarette use during pregnancy. We used a netnographic re-search approach which analyzed discussion threads in onlineforums dealing with e-cigarette use during pregnancy. Theanalysis was based on an IHBM. Identified themes were incor-porated in the questionnaire which was developed for the quantitative part of the study. The quantitative section aimedto quantify, among other things, perceived threats, barriersand benefits and to explore differences in risk perception ac-cording to sociodemographic characteristics and tobacco ande-cigarette usage. Results: In the qualitative section, 1552 posts in 25 online dis-cussion threads dealing, inter alia, with e-cigarette use duringpregnancy were identified. The quantitative part looked atthe responses in the questionnaires handed in by 575 preg-nant women who attended a hospital in Hamburg (Germany)from April 2018 to January 2019 (response rate: 27.5%). Conclusion: Data collection was successful for both the qual-itative and quantitative parts of the study. When interpretingthe results of STEP, different limitations should be taken intoaccount. The results of STEP provide starting points for thedevelopment of tailored preventive measures for pregnantwomen.

Epidemiological research suggests that immigrants from lower to higher income countries exhibit a health decline over time that is transmitted to the offspring generation in which health disparities become prevalent already at a very early age in terms of adverse birth outcomes. Perceived discrimination (PD) is discussed in the context of health disparities related to migration. The relationship between PD and health outcomes is still understudied among Turkish immigrants in Germany. We examined whether PD contributes to PTB risk in Turkish immigrant women. Methods: We used data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). The newborn questionnaire (“Mother-Child: Age 0-1”, 2003 – 2016, v33) provided information on birth outcomes and we included information on maternal socioeconomic situation, migration background and PD due to origin (for Turkish immigrant women only) that were collected in the survey before birth. The final sample comprised N = 2,525 (8.60% Turkish immigrant women). A dummy variable indicating occurrence of PTB (0 = non PTB, i.e. ≥ 37 wks of gestation, 1 = PTB, i.e. < 37 weeks of gestation) was used as the outcome variable in logistic regression models. Results: Logistic regression models on the whole sample indicated a higher risk of PTB among Turkish compared to German native women (OR: 2.75) that remained after adjusting for socioeconomic status. Within the subsample of Turkish women, prenatal PD was related to a higher risk for PTB (OR: 4.91). Conclusions: Unlike in other studies we found evidence for a higher prevalence of PTB among Turkish immigrant women in the SOEP data. PD may explain the prevalence of PTB among Turkish immigrant women in Germany. There is a need for further research examining the impact of discrimination on the intergenerational transmission of health disparities among Turkish immigrants in Germany.

The aim of this review is (i) to synthesise the evidence on risk of infection and transmission among migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and internally displaced populations, and (ii) the effect of lockdown measures on these populations. We searched MEDLINE and WOS, preprint servers, and pertinent websites between 1st December 2019 and 26th June 2020. The included studies showed a high heterogeneity in study design, population, outcome and quality. The incidence risk of SARS-CoV-2 varied from 0.12% to 2.08% in non-outbreak settings and from 5.64% to 21.15% in outbreak settings. Migrants showed a lower hospitalisation rate compared to non-migrants. Negative impacts on mental health due to lockdown measures were found across respective studies. However, findings show a tenuous and heterogeneous data situation, showing the need for more robust and comparative study designs.

To assess the level to which decisions regarding such screening are informed is thus imperative, but no specific instrument has been available to measure informed choice in the German mammography screening programme. The aims of this study were to develop the Informed Choice in Mammography Screening Questionnaire (IMQ) and to find first evidence for the factor structure, reliability and validity of its different components. Methods: The IMQ was sent to 17.349 women aged 50 in Westphalia-Lippe, Germany. The instrument has been developed after consideration of (1) the results of qualitative interviews on decision making in the mammography screening programme, (2) relevant literature on other informed choice instruments and (3) a qualitative study on influencing factors. The IMQ comprises 3 scales (attitude, norms, and barriers), 1 index (knowledge) and singular items covering intention to participate and sociodemographic variables. To assess the psychometric properties of the components of the IMQ, confirmatory factor and item response theory analyses were conducted. Additionally, reliability, validity and item statistics were assessed. Results: 5.847 questionnaires were returned (response rate 33.7%). For attitude, the confirmatory factor analysis supported a one-factor structure. For norms, the model fit was not acceptable. Reliability levels were good with a Cronbach‘s α of.793 for attitude (4 items) and.795 for norms (5 items). For barriers, 9 items were deleted because of low discrimination indices; 6 items remained. The hypothesised assumption-subscale and the importance-subscale were confirmed, but these subscales showed poor reliabilities with Cronbach‘s α=.525 (4 items) and.583 (2 items). For the knowledge index, item response theory analysis showed that 6 out of 7 items were suitable. Hypotheses concerning the correlations between the different components were confirmed, which supported their convergent and divergent validity. Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrated that the IMQ is a multidimensional instrument. Further development of the barriers and norms scales is necessary. The IMQ can be utilised to assess the level of informed choices as well as influencing factors.

In Germany, national guidelines recommend fully breastfeeding for at least 4 months, a goal reached by only 34% of mothers in 2012. The WHO’s recommendation of exclusively breastfeeding for six months was met by 19% only. Hardly modifiable factors such as socio-economic status and migration background have been associated with duration of breastfeeding but little is known about the impact of psychosocial factors such as personality traits and social support. We hypothesise that there are differences in the psychosocial profiles of mothers regarding the duration of breastfeeding. Methods: We analyse baseline and follow-up data of the Bielefeld BaBi birth cohort (2013-16). They include detailed migration and socio-economic backgrounds, as well as three measures of psychological characteristics: the optimism scale, the Big Five inventory and the locus of control scales. We perform bivariate and multivariate analyses in order to identify psychosocial determinants of fully breastfeeding for four and six months. Results: Out of 780 BaBi study participants, 548 fully breastfed for four months (70.3%), of which 279 continued until at least six months (35.8%). Logistic regression analyses show that fully breastfeeding for at least four or six months is independently associated with the intention to breastfeed and the attendance of antenatal class during this or previous pregnancies. Personality characteristics, social status and migration background show however no significant association with breastfeeding duration. Conclusions: Our study results support the promotion of individuals’ breastfeeding intention and attendance to antenatal classes to increase breastfeeding duration. Since differences in breastfeeding practices have the potential to create inequalities in maternal and child health, more efforts are needed to intensify research on modifiable factors influencing breastfeeding duration.

Compositional and contextual characteristics of institutional contexts (e.g. kindergartens, schools) are likely to shape health inequalities among young people and may have an impact above and beyond individual-level determinants. The general research objectives of the research unit are to empirically study if characteristics of different institutional contexts are associated with the emergence of individual-level inequalities in health and c) to integrate findings from different life stages into a comprehensive theoretical model about the key mechanisms at individual and contextual levels. Methods and analysis: Building upon reviews of the existing evidence, each of the five subprojects of the research unit will analyse secondary data (cross-sectional and longitudinal surveys). The subprojects will focus on institutional contexts that serve as major socialization agents in society, such as the family, kindergarten, school, tertiary education/work, as well as the health care system. Linear or logistic multilevel modelling will be applied in order to examine the role of institutional characteristics for young people's health and health inequalities at the individual level. Ethics and dissemination: The dissemination activities include the publication of results in peer-reviewed journals, at international and national scientific conferences, as well as press releases in written and broadcast media to inform relevant stakeholders and the lay public. In the first funding stage, the research unit only uses secondary data of existing datasets. Therefore, ethical approval is not required.

Results from the BaBi birth cohort study in Bielefeld, Germany T2 - European Journal of Public Health N2 - Background: Disparities in breastfeeding practices have been observed between migrants and majority populations in many countries. We compared breastfeeding practices among women with and without a migration background in Bielefeld, Germany, using data from a birth cohort. Methods: In 2013-16, we conducted 967 standardised interviews with women aged over 18 during pregnancy or shortly after birth, collecting data on breastfeeding uptake and duration intention, as well as on socio-economic and migration background. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed, adjusting for clinical factors (e.g. age, parity, birthweight). Results: Breastfeeding uptake was more common among women with a migration background than among non-immigrants (88.9% vs. 83%, p < 0.05). It was particularly high among 2nd and 3rd generation women (92%). Women with a migration background tended to intend to breastfeed longer than non-immigrants (6.2% vs 7.6% between 6 months and one year and 0.67% vs. 2.53% beyond one year). When controlling for clinical and socio-economic characteristics, only a statistically significant correlation between breastfeeding uptake and the opinion of the mother and of the partner with regard to breastfeeding remained, with a negative opinion decreasing the chances of uptake (OR 0.5; CI 0.25-0.79 and OR 0.2; CI 0.12-0.36, respectively). Mothers and partners of women with migration background were more likely to strongly support breastfeeding than those of non-immigrants. Duration intention was positively associated with having a migration background (1.98; CI 1.10-3.55) and negatively associated with income, with higher income decreasing likelihood of breastfeeding beyond 6 months (OR 0.6; CI 0.44-0.94). Conclusions: This study found differences in breastfeeding uptake and duration intention among women with and without a migration background. This calls for public health actions targeting different socio-economic groups if one wants to come closer to the WHO recommended breastfeeding rates. Initiatives that are inclusive of the mother and the partner of the expectant women are also worth considering.

There is still a broad discussion whether the benefits of the programme outweigh its harms. Hence, the concept of informed choice is of particular importance for MSP. The aim of this survey was to assess the proportion of informed choices among migrant and non-migrant women invited to the German MSP for the first time. Methods: A random sample of 17,349 women aged 50 from a sub-region of North Rhine Westphalia was invited to participate in a postal cross-sectional survey conducted in German and Turkish. Turkish and other migrants were identified by country of birth and German resettlers additionally by self-reported resettler-status. Turkish migrant women were oversampled, due to expected lower response-rates. The effect of migration status on informed choice and on its three components (knowledge, attitude and intention) were assessed by chi-square tests and logistic regression modelling. Results:5,847 (33.7%) women responded to the postal questionnaire. 4,113 complete cases were included in the analyses. The proportion of women making informed choices was low (27.1%). Turkish migrant women had the highest odds for making an uninformed choice (OR 5.30, 95%CI 1.92-14.66) independent of educational level. Other migrant groups only had slightly higher odds for making an uninformed choice (German resettlers: OR 1.50, 95%CI 1.00-2.25; other migrants: OR 1.57, 95%CI 0.96-2.57) compared to non-migrant women. Fewer Turkish and other immigrant women intended to participate in the MSP. Immigrant women had a more positive attitude and a lower proportion of sufficient knowledge compared to non-migrant women. Conclusions: The overall proportion of informed choice in the German MSP is low and knowledge is poor. Measures are needed to improve information materials, strengthen health literacy and create a user-friendly environment facilitating informed choices especially for migrant women.

A study protocol T2 - European Journal of Public Health N2 - Background:Turkish-origin immigrants constitute one of the biggest migration groups in Germany where they exhibit higher levels of social disadvantage when compared to the majority population. Research has elucidated the underlying mechanisms by which social disadvantage is biologically embedded to impact health over the lifespan. However, relatively little is known about how its effects are transmitted across generations. Aims of the study: To elucidate the effects of maternal migration status and socioeconomic status on stress-related maternal-placental-foetal (MPF) biological processes across gestation and on subsequent infant birth and health outcomes. Methods: We are conducting a longitudinal cohort study of N = 450 child-mother dyads with serial measures across gestation and birth through the first year of life. Our proposed study population will include approximately equal numbers of Turkish-origin women in Germany, German women in Germany, Turkish women living in Turkey and their offspring. Study visits are conducted from the second trimester of pregnancy to the end of the first year of life to assess maternal socio-economic and migration-related information, psychological well-being, nutrition, medical risk variables, and MPF stress biology markers from maternal blood and saliva samples. Infant anthropometric measures, developmental outcomes and stress markers in saliva are assessed throughout the first year of life. Analyses: We will test specific hypotheses regarding the association between migration background, socioeconomic status and MPF stress biology. We will furthermore quantify the association of maternal migration background- and social disadvantage-related MPF stress biology measures on pregnancy and child health outcomes. Discussion: This is the first study on foetal programming of health disparities with a focus on Turkish-origin women in Germany. The significance and impact of this study derives from the importance of achieving a better understanding of underlying mechanisms that alter disease vulnerability in minority and disadvantaged populations.

A better understanding of the health of people with a migration background requires the consideration of their individual life course as well as several additional explanatory factors. The latter include, for instance, their social position, age, and gender, as well as the policies, health care system, social climate, living situation, and length of stay in the destination country. Particularly promising public health strategies for migrant health include a combination of migration sensitive and migration specific offers, setting approaches, and inclusionary public health approaches that critically reflect on mechanisms of othering, marginalization, and exclusion.

Nurses in long-term care facilities seem to be especially affected by the pandemic. Nevertheless, there are few findings indicating possible positive changes for health care workers. Therefore, we investigated which psychosocial burdens and potential positive aspects nurses working in long-term care facilities experience during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: We conducted a mixed-methods study among nurses and nursing assistants working in nursing homes in Germany. The survey contained the third German version of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ III). Using Welch's t-tests, we compared the COPSOQ results of our sample against a pre-pandemic reference group of geriatric nurses from Germany. Additionally, we conducted semi-structured interviews with geriatric nurses with a special focus on psychosocial stress, to reach a deeper understanding of their experiences on work-related changes and burdens during the pandemic. Data were analysed using thematic coding (Braun and Clarke). Results: Our survey sample (n = 177) differed significantly from the pre-pandemic reference group in 14 out of 31 COPSOQ scales. Almost all of these differences indicated negative changes. Our sample scored significantly worse regarding the scales 'quantitative demands', 'hiding emotions', 'work-privacy conflicts', 'role conflicts', 'quality of leadership', 'support at work', 'recognition', 'physical demands', 'intention to leave profession', 'burnout', 'presenteeism' and 'inability to relax'. The interviews (n = 15) revealed six main themes related to nurses' psychosocial stress: 'overall working conditions', 'concern for residents', 'management of relatives', 'inability to provide terminal care', 'tensions between being infected and infecting others' and 'technicisation of care'. 'Enhanced community cohesion' (interviews), 'meaning of work' and 'quantity of social relations' (COPSOQ III) were identified as positive effects of the pandemic. Conclusions: Results clearly illustrate an aggravation of geriatric nurses' situation and psychosocial burden and only few positive changes due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Pre-existing hardships seem to have further deteriorated and new stressors added to nurses' strain. The perceived erosion of care, due to an overemphasis of the technical in relation to the social and emotional dimensions of care, seems to be especially burdensome to geriatric nurses.

Longitudinal analysis of health worker data T2 - European Journal of Public Health,16th European Public Health Conference 2023 Our Food, Our Health, Our Earth: A Sustainable Future for Humanity Dublin, Ireland 8–11 November 2023 N2 - Background Health workers play a vital role in response to outbreaks under pandemic circumstances, but are also highly vulnerable to stress-related mental health issues (e.g., due to pandemic workload). There are knowledge gaps regarding temporal development of the emergence of depressive symptoms among health workers during the COVID-19 pandemic and their determinants. This study examined the trajectory of depressive symptoms and their association with a) stress perception, b) own COVID-19 infection and c) COVID-19 exposure at work. Methods This cohort study with 91 health workers (90% female, x⎯⎯=45 years) from a German general hospital included (1) medical, nursing and therapeutic staff and (2) administrative staff. Data were collected longitudinally every month from July to December 2020. Linear multilevel models were used to evaluate associations between trajectories of depression scores (German ‘General Depression Scale’) with perceived stress (‘Perceived Stress Scale’). Laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection was tested as a moderator of depressive symptom development. Trajectoires of depressive symptom modalities (e.g., somatic, emotional) were analysed stratified by COVID-19 exposure at work. Results Depression scores increased across the study period (b=.03, .02-.05). Perceived stress was associated with depression scores (b=.12, .10-.14). The presence of health workers’ own COVID-19 infection was associated with a higher increase (b=.06, .01-.10). Somatic symptoms of depression increased over time only among health workers directly exposed to COVID-19 patients at work (b=.25, .13-.38). Conclusions The increase in depressive symptomatology among health workers exposed to COVID-19 in the workplace points to the need for further research. Since the infection with COVID-19 is associated with an increase of depressive symptoms across time, awareness should be raised about measures to protect against virus transmission, especially during a pandemic. Exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace is associated with increased somatic depressive symptoms.

For example, age-standardized mortality rates varied between 106 and 178 deaths per 100 000 at the level of German federal states in 2019.2 The regional heterogeneity of cardiovascular mortality suggests that the residential environment should be considered as an important determinant for successful secondary prevention. Environmental features that were frequently drawn upon to explain regional inequalities of cardiovascular outcomes are spatial socioeconomic deprivation (SSD) and rurality.3 Rurality may impact cardiovascular health due to impaired access to healthcare services. Socioeconomically deprived neighbourhoods, on the other hand, exhibit restricted opportunities to eat healthy, exercise regularly, utilize health care, and avoid environmental hazards such as air pollution.

A multilevel analysis on longitudinal data from healthcare workers T2 - International Journal of Social Psychiatry N2 - Background: Healthcare workers (HCW) are at high risk to develop mental health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic because of additional work load, perceived stress, and exposure to patients with COVID-19. Currently, there are few studies on change over time in the prevalence of depressive symptoms during pandemic start among HCW. Thus, the aims of the current study were to examine whether depressive symptoms increased during the pandemic and were associated with perceived stress and own COVID-19 infection and workplace exposure to virus-infected patients. Methods: The cohort study used longitudinal data from HCW collected monthly (July 2020 till December 2020) during the first year of the pandemic before vaccination became available. The sample of n = 166 was drawn from a German hospital and included medical (e.g. nurses, therapists, and physicians) and administrative staff. Using multilevel models, we analyzed the change in depressive symptoms [assessed with General Depression Scale (GDS), a validated German version of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D)] and its association with perceived stress across the study period. Laboratory-confirmed own infection was tested as a potential moderator in this context. Subscales of the GDS were used to examine change over time of depressive symptom modalities (e.g. emotional, somatic, and social interactions (β, 95% confidence interval). Results: Depression scores increased significantly during the study period (β = .03, 95% CI [0.02, 0.05]). Perceived stress was associated with depressive symptoms (β = .12, 95% CI [0.10, 0.14]) but did not change over time. Exposure to COVID-19 infection was associated with a higher increase of depressive symptoms (β = .12, 95% CI [0.10, .14]). Somatic symptoms of depression increased among medical HCW with workplace exposure to COVID-19 (β = .25, 95% CI [0.13, 0.38]), but not in administrators (β = .03, 95% CI [−0.04, 0.11]). Conclusion: Research is needed to identify factors that promote the reduction of depressive symptoms in medical HCW with exposition to COVID-19 patients. Awareness of infection protection measures should be increased.

Die Erreichbarkeit der medizinischen Versorgungsinfrastruktur gilt dabei als eine Erklärungsmöglichkeit für regionale gesundheitliche Ungleichheit. Demnach verfolgt die Studie das Ziel, die Distanzen zu verschiedenen Versorgungsarten der kardiologischen Versorgung auf Gemeindeebene zu berechnen und diese im Zusammenhang mit dem lokalen Versorgungsbedarf zu betrachten. Methodik Präventive Sportangebote, Hausärzte, kardiologische Praxen, Krankenhäuser mit Herzkatheterlabor und Einrichtungen ambulanter Rehabilitation wurden als wesentliche Einrichtungen für die kardiologische Versorgung herangezogen und kartiert. Daraufhin wurden die Distanzen über das Straßenverkehrsnetz vom Mittelpunkt jeder Brandenburger Gemeinde zum nächsten Standort der jeweiligen Versorgungseinrichtung berechnet und in Quintile eingeteilt. Mediane und Interquartilsabstände des deutschen sozioökonomischen Deprivationsindex und des Anteils der Bevölkerung über 65 Jahre wurden als Proxys für den Versorgungsbedarf herangezogen und mit den Distanzquintilen je Versorgungsart in Zusammenhang gesetzt. Ergebnisse Für 60% der Brandenburger Gemeinden sind Hausärzte innerhalb von 2,5 km, präventive Sportangebote innerhalb von 19,6 km, kardiologische Praxen innerhalb von 18,3 km, Krankenhäuser mit Herzkatheterlabor innerhalb von 22,7 km und Einrichtungen ambulanter Rehabilitation innerhalb von 14,7 km erreichbar. Der Median des deutschen Deprivationsindexes steigt bei allen Versorgungsarten mit zunehmender Distanz an. Der Median des Anteils über 65-Jähriger zeigt keine nennenswerte Variation zwischen den Distanzquintilen. Schlussfolgerung Die Ergebnisse zeigen für hohe Bevölkerungsanteile teilweise große Distanzen zu spezialisierten kardiologischen Versorgungsangeboten, während hausärztliche Praxen für einen hohen Anteil erreichbar scheinen. In Brandenburg scheint eine regionale und an lokalen Bedarfen orientierte sektorenübergreifende Versorgung notwendig.

T1 - Predictors and prevalence of hazardous alcohol use in middle-late to late adulthood in Europe T2 - Aging & Mental Health N2 - Objectives: Even low to moderate levels of alcohol consumption can have detrimental health consequences, especially in older adults (OA). Although many studies report an increase in the proportion of drinkers among OA, there are regional variations. Therefore, we examined alcohol consumption and the prevalence of hazardous alcohol use (HAU) among men and women aged 50+ years in four European regions and investigated predictors of HAU. Methods: We analyzed data of N = 35,042 participants of the European SHARE study. We investigated differences in alcohol consumption (units last week) according to gender, age and EU-region using ANOVAs. Furthermore, logistic regression models were used to examine the effect of income, education, marital status, history of a low-quality parent–child relationship and smoking on HAU, also stratified for gender and EU-region. HAU was operationalized as binge drinking or risky drinking (<12.5 units of 10 ml alcohol/week). Results: Overall, past week alcohol consumption was 5.0 units (±7.8), prevalence of HAU was 25.4% within our sample of European adults aged 50+ years. Male gender, younger age and living in Western Europe were linked to both higher alcohol consumption and higher risks of HAU. Income, education, smoking, a low-quality parent–child relationship, living in Northern and especially Eastern Europe were positively associated with HAU. Stratified analyses revealed differences by region and gender. Conclusions: HAU was highly prevalent within this European sample of OA. Alcohol consumption and determinants of HAU differed between EU-regions, hinting to a necessity of risk-stratified population-level strategies to prevent HAU and subsequent alcohol use disorders.

Against this background, this paper tries to depict the latent need in outpatient care, illustrates supply and demand and further tests the hypothesis that there is a relative inequality in distribution due to physicians preferring to locate in socially privileged areas in the German state of Brandenburg. Methods: We aggregated all data available on a small scale with potential impact on demand and examined it via principal component analysis. The generated factor was mapped together with the locations of general practitioners and specialists in general care. Using linear regressions, the number of practitioners was compared to the local index value to determine regional inequalities. Results: The PCA suggested a one factor solution; that factor was designated Social Structure Index due to its values. The mapping showed a tendency of higher index values towards the central areas of Brandenburg surrounding Berlin. Regressions of the number of practitioners against the index values revealed no significant differences between communities with high and low index values. Conclusion: The extension of factors concluding the evaluation of physician demand in outpatient care confirms the problems of physician supply in rural areas, where sparse populations meet social disadvantages and poor accessibility. An underlying inequality in distribution in terms of physicians preferring socially privileged areas could not be detected.

Deutscher Kongress für Versorgungsforschung (DKVF) : 05.10.-07.10.2022, Potsdam N2 - Background: Nurses’ work-related strain and psychological burden increased during the Covid-19 pandemic, resulting in high prevalences of mental health problems among nurses worldwide. Nurses in long-term care facilities seem to be particularly prone to overall heightened burden and poor mental health. Research question: We investigated which work-related psychosocial burdens and potential positive aspects nurses working in nursing homes experience during the Covid-19 pandemic. Method: We conducted a mixed-methods study. Eligible for participation were nurses and nursing assistants working in nursing homes within the state of Brandenburg, Germany. Between August and October 2020, we distributed an anonymous survey containing the third German version of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ III). Using Welch’s t-tests, we compared the COPSOQ results of our sample against a pre-pandemic reference group of geriatric nurses, drawn from the German COPSOQ databank and kindly shared by the Freiburg Research Centre for Occupational Science. In June 2021, we also conducted semi-structured interviews with geriatric nurses to reach a deeper understanding of their experiences on work-related changes and burdens during the first phases of the pandemic. Data were analysed using thematic coding (Braun and Clarke). Results: Our survey sample (n=177) differed significantly from the reference group in 14 out of 31 COPSOQ scales. Amongst others, our sample scored significantly worse regarding the scales ‘support at work’, ‘recognition’, ‘quantitative demands’, ‘hiding emotions’, ‘role conflicts’, ‘intention to leave profession’, ‘burnout’ and ‘inability to relax’. The interviews (n=17) revealed five main themes related to nurses’ psychosocial stress: ‘overall working conditions under the hygiene measures’, ‘concern for isolated residents’, ‘management of relatives’, ‘inability to provide terminal care‘, ‘tensions between being infected and infecting others’ and ‘technicisation of care’. ‘Enhanced community cohesion’ and ‘meaning of work’ were identified as positive effects of the pandemic. Discussion: Results indicate that nurses in nursing homes experience enhanced psychosocial and work-related strain. The comparisons with the pre-pandemic reference group suggest that the situation further aggravated during the pandemic. Nurses exhibited high psychosocial burden, e.g., due to strongly impeded possibilities to fulfill the emotional and social dimensions of care and the constant fear of infection or transmission. Deteriorated working conditions (e.g., higher workload through staff shortages and additional tasks) further exacerbated these burdens. Few positive aspects of the pandemic may be important sources of resilience. Practical implications: The reduction of nurses’ strain through psychosocial support and the improvement of working conditions is crucial for the protection of nurses’ health. Appeal for practice in one sentence: Political players as well as care facilities should take measures to improve nurses’ situation in order to maintain a healthy workforce and high-quality care.

In dieser Studie wird die zeitliche Entwicklung depressiver Symptome und der Zusammenhang mit a) der Stresswahrnehmung, b) der eigenen COVID-19-Infektion und c) der arbeitsplatzbezogenen COVID-19-Exposition untersucht. Methoden Die Kohortenstudie mit 91 Beschäftigten (90% wbl, x̅=45 Jr) eines Krankenhauses schloss (1) medizinisches, pflegerisches und therapeutisches sowie (2) administratives Personal im Zeitraum von Juli 2020 bis Dezember 2020 ein. Gemischte Modelle analysierten zeitliche Depressionswerte ('Allg. Depressionsskala‘) mit wahrgenommenem Stress ('Perceived Stress Scale'). Eine eigene COVID-19-Infektion (Laborbefund) wurde als Moderator getestet. Die zeitliche Entwicklung von Symptommodalitäten (u.a. somatisch) wurde nach beruflicher Exposition analysiert. Ergebnisse Die Depressionswerte stiegen insgesamt während des Studienzeitraums an (b=.03, .02-.05). Stressempfinden war mit depressiven Symptomen assoziiert (b=.12, .10-.14). Eine eigene Infektion war mit einem höheren Anstieg assoziiert (b=.06, .01-.10). Somatische Depressionssymptome nahmen nur bei beruflichem Kontakt mit COVID-19 zu (b=.25, .13-.38). Schlussfolgerung Die Zunahme somatischer depressiver Symptome bei Beschäftigten mit beruflichem Kontakt zu COVID-19 zeigt einen Bedarf an Forschung über und Ressourcen für Gesundheitsschutz und -förderung. Das Bewusstsein für Schutzmaßnahmen sollte gestärkt werden.

Close to People, Proceedings of the 68th Annual Meeting of the German Association of Medical Informatics, Biometry, and Epidemiology e.V. (gmds) 2023 in Heilbronn, Germany N2 - Introduction: In industrialised countries, one in ten patients suffers harm during hospitalization. Critical Incident Reporting Systems (CIRS) aim to minimize this by learning from errors and identifying potential risks. However, a lack of interoperability among the 16 CIRS in Germany hampers their effectiveness. Methods: This study investigates reports' syntactic and semantic interoperability across seven different reporting systems. Syntactic interoperability was examined using WHO's Minimal Information Models (MIM), while semantic interoperability was evaluated with SNOMED concepts. Results: The findings reveal a low structural overlap, with only two terms correctly represented in the SNOMED CT terminology. In addition, most systems showed no syntactic interoperability. Conclusion: Improving interoperability is essential for increasing the effectiveness and usability of CIRS. The study suggests a unified data model such as MIM or using Health Level 7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (HL7 FHIR) resources and expanding SNOMED CT with patient safety-relevant terms for semantic interoperability. Given the current lack of both syntactic and semantic interoperability in CIRS, developing a patient safety ontology is recommended for efficient critical incident analysis too.

Results of the German KiGGS study T2 - PloS one N2 - Objective Although health inequalities in adolescence are well documented, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Few studies have examined the role of the family in explaining the association between the family’s socioeconomic position and adolescents’ self-rated health. The current study aimed to explore whether the association between socioeconomic position and self-rated health was mediated by familial determinants. Methods Using data from wave 2 of the”German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents” (KiGGS) (1,838 female and 1,718 male 11- to 17-year-olds), linear regression analyses were conducted to decompose the total effects of income, education, occupational status, socioeconomic position index and adolescents’ subjective social status on self-rated health into direct effects and indirect effects through familial determinants (family cohesion, parental well-being, parental stress, parenting styles, parental obesity, smoking and sporting activity). Results A significant total effect of all socioeconomic position indicators on self-rated health was found, except for income in male adolescents. In female adolescents, more than 70% of the total effects of each socioeconomic position indicator were explained by familial mediators, whereas no significant direct effects remained. The most important mediator was parental well-being, followed by family cohesion, parental smoking and sporting activity. In male adolescents, the associations between income, parental education, the socioeconomic position index and subjective social status were also mediated by familial determinants (family cohesion, parental smoking, obesity and living in a single-mother family). However, a significant direct effect of subjective social status remained. Conclusion The analysis revealed how a family’s position of socioeconomic disadvantage can lead to poorer health in adolescents through different family practices. The family appears to play an important role in explaining health inequalities, particularly in female adolescents. Reducing health inequalities in adolescence requires policy interventions (macro-level), community-based strategies (meso-level) and programs to improve parenting and family functioning (micro-level).

In this systematic scoping review we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the available international literature on the mediating and moderating influence of the family on health inequalities in children and adolescents in Europe and North America. Methods This review follows the PRISMA guidelines for scoping reviews. After defining the research question a search strategy was developed in cooperation with a scientific librarian and the study protocol was registered. A search of three databases (Pubmed, Scopus, PsycINFO) was conducted to identify relevant literature in English or German published between the year 2000 and 2019. A qualitative data charting process was used to extract the relevant data. Results In total 11.838 records were identified through the multi database search (Pubmed n = 6370, PsycINFO n = 3505, Scopus n = 1963). After elimination of duplicates and records from excluded countries, 8862 abstracts were screened by two researchers independently. Different cluster of evidence of family influences on health inequalities were identified: Parental behaviors and children's obesity, parents' smoking and drinking habits and adolescents' risk behaviors, parenting style and children's common mental disorders, parental resources and children's quality of life. Conclusions There are different aspects of family's contextual and compositional characteristics on health inequalities identifiable in the international literature. These characteristics might be new targets for family-focused health promotion strategies. Key messages: -A systematic scoping review found different family aspects that influence health inequalities in children and adolescents. - The identified family traits are promising targets for family-focused health promotion strategies to reduce health inequalities.

A scoping review T2 - European Journal of Public Health N2 - Background During early childhood, families have a crucial impact on children's health behaviour, health, and development (bhd). However, a family's socioeconomic position (SEP) determines both the parental behaviour, living conditions, and child health. To understand how family characteristics may influence the development of health inequalities, this scoping review synthesised research on their mediating and moderating effects.

The search in PubMed, PsycINFO, and Scopus used both free text terms in the title/abstract and index terms within linked keyword blocks: (1) family characteristics, (2) inequalities, (3) income, education, occupation, (4) bhd, (5) newborn, infant, toddler, preschooler. Two researchers independently examined eligibility for inclusion in two rounds (title/abstract; full-text). Results Of 7,089 articles identified, ten sources were included that studied family characteristics and health inequalities among 0-6 years olds. Parental rules, stress, and screentime, and TV in bedroom showed mediating effects on inequalities in behaviour problems or children's screentime. Families' negativity, single parenthood, and the number of children in the household moderated differences in impairment, health, behaviour problems, development or breastfeeding initiation. Conclusions The effect of family characteristics on early health inequalities has been sparsely investigated. The evidence supported models of family stress and investment. Further research is needed to comprehensively understand this association. Key messages Family characteristics contribute to health inequalities. Taking families’ stress and investment into account could improve targeted prevention efforts aimed at reducing health inequalities.

The relevance of schools for health and well-being of children and adolescents has long been recognised, and there is some research regarding the association of contextual and compositional characteristics of schools and classes with health, health behaviour and well-being in this population. Little is known about the role of meso-level characteristics in relation to health inequalities. The aim of this scoping review is to retrieve and synthesise evidence about the mediating or moderating role of compositional or contextual characteristics of schools for the association between students’ socioeconomic position and health in primary and secondary education. Methods and analysis We will conduct a systematic search of electronic databases in PubMed/Medline, Web of Science and Education Resources Information Center. Studies must meet the following inclusion criteria: (1) The population must be students attending primary or secondary schools in developed economies. (2) The outcomes must include at least one indicator for individual health, health behaviour or well-being. (3) The study must include at least one contextual or compositional characteristic of the school context and one individual determinant of socioeconomic position. (4) The study must also examine the mediating or moderating role of the contextual or compositional characteristic of the school context for the associations between socioeconomic position and health, health behaviour or well-being. (5) The study must be published since 1 January 2000 in English or German language. We will provide a narrative synthesis of findings. Ethics and dissemination We will not collect primary data and only include secondary data derived from previously published studies. Therefore, ethical approval is not required. We intend to publish our findings in an international peer-reviewed journal and to present them at national and international conferences.

The most important environment during early childhood is the family, as it profoundly influences children’s health through various characteristics. These include family processes, family structure/size, and living conditions, and are closely linked to the socioeconomic position (SEP) of the family. Although it is known that the SEP contributes to health inequalities in early childhood, the effects of family characteristics on health inequalities remain unclear. The objective of this scoping review is to synthesise existing research on the mediating and moderating effects of family characteristics on socioeconomic health inequalities (HI) during early childhood in high-income countries. Methods: This review followed the methodology of “Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews”. To identify German and English scientific peer-reviewed literature published from January 1st, 2000, to December 19th, 2019, the following search term blocks were linked with the logical operator “AND”: (1) family structure/size, processes, living conditions, (2) inequalities, disparities, diversities, (3) income, education, occupation, (4) health and (5) young children. The search covered the electronic databases PubMed, PsycINFO, and Scopus. Results: The search yielded 7,089 records. After title/abstract and full-text screening, only ten peer-reviewed articles were included in the synthesis, which analysed the effects of family characteristics on HI in early childhood. Family processes (i.e., rules /descriptive norms, stress, parental screen time, parent–child conflicts) are identified to have mediating or moderating effects. While families’ living conditions (i.e., TVs in children’s bedrooms) are suggested as mediating factors, family structure/size (i.e., single parenthood, number of children in the household) appear to moderate health inequalities. Conclusion: Family characteristics contribute to health inequalities in early childhood. The results provide overall support of models of family stress and family investment. However, knowledge gaps remain regarding the role of family health literacy, regarding a wide range of children’s health outcomes (e.g., oral health, inflammation parameters, weight, and height), and the development of health inequalities over the life course starting at birth.

T2 - Gesundheitswesen N2 - Einleitung Die gesundheitlichen Folgen von Adipositas für junge Menschen können schwerwiegend sein. Bei der Entwicklung verschiedener Gesundheitsoutcomes wie Adipositas spielt für junge Menschen die Familie als auch ihre sozioökonomische Position (SEP) eine große Rolle. In dieser Analyse wird untersucht, welche familiäre Determinanten den Zusammenhang zwischen SEP der Familie und Adipositas bei Jugendlichen erklären. Methoden Die vorliegende Analyse wurde mit Daten der "Studie zur Gesundheit von Kindern und Jugendlichen in Deutschland" (KiGGS) (Basiserhebung, Welle 1 und 2) durchgeführt (1301 weibliche und 1232 männliche 11- bis 17-Jährige). Mittels logistischer Regressionsmodelle (KHB-Methode) wurden für den Zusammenhang zwischen der SEP der Familie (Einkommen, berufliche Stellung, Bildung, SES-Index) und Adipositas (Ja/Nein) bei Jugendlichen die mediierenden Effekte von familiären Determinanten (elterliches Rauchen, elterliche sportliche Aktivitäten, elterliches Übergewicht, familiärer Stress und familiärer Zusammenhalt) analysiert. Ergebnisse Die Prävalenz von Adipositas betrug 7,9 % bei den weiblichen und 8,4 % bei den männlichen Jugendlichen. Es zeigen sich signifikante Zusammenhänge zwischen Adipositas und SEP zu Ungunsten von jenen mit niedriger sozioökonomischer Position. Familiäre Determinanten erklären teilweise oder vollständig den Zusammenhang zwischen SEP und Adipositas bei Jugendlichen. Es wurden geschlechtsspezifische Unterschiede im Ausmaß der Mediation der Familie gefunden. Bei Jungen erklären familiäre Determinanten vollständig den Zusammenhang zwischen Adipositas und Einkommen sowie zwischen Adipositas und der beruflichen Stellung der Eltern. Bei männlichen Jugendlichen lässt sich der indirekte Effekt abhängig von der jeweiligen SEP-Variable zu 20,8 – 27,9 % auf das elterliche Rauchen, zu 14,8 – 26,3 % auf die elterliche sportliche Aktivität und zu 42,6 – 63,6 % auf das elterliche Übergewicht zurückführen. Bei Mädchen wurde der Zusammenhang zwischen der SEP und Adipositas teilweise durch familiäre Determinanten erklärt. Bei weiblichen Jugendlichen lässt sich der indirekte Effekt abhängig von der jeweiligen SEP-Variable zu 26,0 – 52,2 % auf das elterliche Rauchen und zu 41,6 – 67,6 % auf das elterliche Übergewicht zurückführen. Schlussfolgerung Die Adipositas-Prävalenz von Jugendlichen variiert nach dem SEP. Familiäre Determinanten sind wichtige mediierende Faktoren für gesundheitliche Ungleichheiten bei Adipositas von Jugendlichen. Es zeigt sich, dass sich Unterschiede in der Adipositas nach SEP insbesondere durch das elterliche Gesundheitsverhalten (v.a. elterliches Rauchen, elterliches Übergewicht und elterliche sportliche Aktivität) erklären lassen. Die Berücksichtigung und Einbindung der Familie bei der Planung und Umsetzung von Gesundheitsförderungs- und Präventionsprogrammen für gesundheitliche Chancengleichheit bei Jugendlichen ist essentiell.

A1 - Sundmacher, Leonie T1 - The role of regional health policy for socioeconomic inequality in health services utilization T2 - European Journal of Public Health N2 - Background “J1” is a preventative routine examination in Germany recommended for adolescents at the age of 12-14 years. In contrast to the well-established U1-U9 examinations for younger children, with participation rates above 90%, the attendance of the J1 examination is approximately only 40%. The most frequent reason for not attending J1 is the unawareness of this examination. “Ticket to J1” is an intervention including an information leaflet introduced in Bavaria in 2017 to inform adolescents about J1. The aims of the present analysis are to investigate (1) if the regional policy was effective in increasing the attendance in J1, (2) if the effects vary by family socioeconomic status (SES), and (3) which meso-level characteristics of the healthcare system correlate with attendance rates in J1. Methods We used anonymised data of a large statutory health insurance in Germany for the timeframe of 2016-2018. To investigate the effect of the policy, a difference-in-differences design at the individual level was used. Assuming a parallel trend at the level of federal states, the likelihood of attendance in J1 of 13- and 14-year-olds was compared between Bavaria and other federal German states before and after policy introduction. All analyses were additionally stratified by SES. Results The introduction of “Ticket to J1” increased participation in J1 by 1% after controlling for all confounders. Furthermore, the effect was stronger for children from families with lower SES (an increase of 5%). Density of pediatricians was positively significantly correlated with participation in J1. Discussion Regional health policy intervention had a significant positive impact on attendance of J1 and appears to have the potential to reduce socioeconomic inequalities in healthcare utilization. Informing adolescents about J1 seems to increase the attendance, in particular for children from families with lower SES.

The objectives of this study are to assess the extent of health inequalities in a sample of job starters and to explore the contribution of job demands and organisational factors. Methods We analyze data from the BIBB/BAuA Youth Employment Survey 2012. The cross-sectional survey includes a representative sample of 3214 German employees, apprentices, and trainees aged 15–24 years. Individuals were grouped by their years of schooling into low (< 12 years) and high levels of education (≥ 12 years). Regression analysis estimated the link between education and four health outcomes: self-rated health, number of health events, musculoskeletal symptoms, and mental health problems over the last 12 months. Counterfactual mediation analysis tested for indirect effects of education via working conditions (i.e., physical and psychosocial job demands) and company characteristics (i.e., company size, health prevention measures, financial situation, downsizing). All analyses were adjusted for age, sex, nationality, region, working hours, job tenure, employment relationship, and economic sector. Results Highly educated workers reported better self-rated health (b = 0.24, 95% CI 0.18–0.31) and lower numbers of health events (Rate Ratio (RR) = 0.74, 95% CI 0.67–0.82), musculoskeletal symptoms (RR = 0.73, 95% CI 0.66–0.80) and mental health problems (RR = 0.84, 95% CI 0.76–0.93). Total job demands explained between 21.6% and 87.2% of the educational differences (depending on health outcome). Unfavourable company characteristics were associated with worse health, but showed no or only small mediation effects. Conclusions Health inequalities are already present at the early working career due to socio-economically stratified working hazards. To enhance prevention measures that aim at reducing inequalities in workplace health, we propose shifting attention towards earlier stages of life.

These include regular standardized examinations (so called U/J examinations) and several vaccinations. Although strongly recommended, most of them are not mandatory. Our aim is to identify factors associated with the use of U/J examinations and vaccination against diphtheria, hepatitis B, Hib, pertussis, polio, and tetanus. While previous research has focused on sociodemographic factors, we also include socioeconomic, behavioral, and psychosocial factors. Methods: We analyzed cross-sectional data from 15,023 participants (aged 0-17 years) of the nationwide representative KiGGS Wave 2 Survey. Participation in U/J examinations was assessed using a questionnaire, filled out by participants and/or their parents. Information on vaccination status was drawn from the participants' vaccination booklets. To identify relevant determinants for the use of preventive examinations and vaccinations, unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression models were employed with up to 16 different independent variables. Results: Various independent variables showed an association with the use of preventive services. Higher socioeconomic status, absence of migration background, and lower household size were associated with significantly higher utilization of U examinations. Parents' marital status, area of residence, behavioral and psychosocial factors yielded insignificant results for most U/J examinations. Higher vaccination rates were found for children with no migration background, with residence in eastern Germany, lower household size, and with married parents. Conclusion: This study attempted to depict the influence of sociodemographic, psychosocial, and behavioral factors on the use of several preventive services. Our results indicate that predominantly sociodemographic variables influence the use of preventive services. Further efforts should be made to investigate the interplay of different determinants of healthcare use in children and adolescents.

T2 - European Journal of Public Health N2 - Background Children's overweight is associated with many factors, including their living situation, in particular their family's socioeconomic position (SEP) and family characteristics. Research on the extent to which family characteristics account for a social gradient in overweight in early life is scarce. This study evaluated whether family characteristics explain SEP differences in the risk of overweight in early childhood. Methods The study used baseline data of 3-6 year-old children (n = 1,116) from the intervention ‘Ene mene fit’ conducted at kindergartens in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Data included overweight (body mass index > 90 percentile) and parents’ reports on their education and family characteristics associated with overweight (child consumes: sweets in front of TV, soft drinks; family joined time: outdoor, breakfast, sports; cooking; child sets table; role model). Model-based single mediation analyses decomposed the total effect of highest parental education on overweight into direct (unmediated) and indirect (mediated) effects (OR, 95% CI). Results Girls and boys with low parental education had higher odds for overweight than children with high/medium education. Among boys, low education influenced the risk of overweight via indirect effects of i. ‘sweets consumption in front of TV’ (OR = 1.31, 1.05-1.59) and ii. ‘no joined sports’ (OR = 1.14, 1.00-1.44). The direct effect of low education only remained significant when ‘no joined sports’ was considered (OR = 2.19, 1.11-5.19). Among girls, family characteristics measured here did not explain SEP differences in overweight. Conclusions The family characteristics ‘sweets consumption in front of TV’ and ‘no joined sports’ contribute to inequalities in overweight among boys, but not among girls. Therefore, more gender-sensitive research is needed to identify family risk and protective characteristics that explain health inequalities among both boys and girls.

These mesolevel characteristics can influence access to healthcare and might have the potential to moderate or aggravate socioeconomic inequity in healthcare use. This scoping review aims to map the existing evidence of the association of socioeconomic inequity in healthcare use and mesolevel access characteristics of the health system. Methods and analysis In conducting the scoping review, we follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols Extension for Scoping Reviews. The search will be carried out in four scientific databases: MEDLINE (via PubMed), Web of Science, Scopus and PsycINFO. Main eligibility criteria are inclusion in the analysis of a measure of socioeconomic position, a measure of individual healthcare use and a mesolevel determinant of access to healthcare services. The selection process consists of two consecutive screening stages (first: title/abstract; second: full text). At both stages, two reviewers independently assess the eligibility of studies. In case of disagreement, a third reviewer will be involved. Cohen’s kappa will be calculated to report inter-rater agreement between reviewers. Results are synthesised narratively, as a high heterogeneity of studies is expected. Ethics and dissemination No primary data are collected for the presented scoping review. Therefore, ethical approval is not necessary. The scoping review will be published in an international peer-reviewed journal, and findings will be presented on national and international conferences.

We conducted a systematic scoping review following the PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews recommendations. We searched the PubMed, PsycINFO and Scopus databases. Two reviewers independently screened titles, abstracts and full texts. Evidence was synthesized narratively. Of the 12,403 records initially identified, 50 articles were included in the synthesis. The included studies were conducted in the United States (n = 27), Europe (n = 18), Canada (n = 3), or in multiple countries combined (n = 2). We found that mental health was the most frequently assessed health outcome. The included studies reported that different family characteristics mediated or moderated health inequalities. Parental mental health, parenting practices, and parent-child-relationships were most frequently examined, and were found to be important mediating or moderating factors. In addition, family conflict and distress were relevant family characteristics. Future research should integrate additional health outcomes besides mental health, and attempt to integrate the complexity of families. The family characteristics identified in this review represent potential starting points for reducing health inequalities in childhood and adolescence.

Design: Scoping review. We included studies examining the role of at least one school or class characteristic on students' health inequalities and was published since 1 January 2000, in English or German. We searched PubMed/Medline, Web of Science and Education Resources Information Center. We provided a narrative synthesis and an overview of findings. School characteristics were grouped into five broad categories: school composition, school climate, school policies and organisation, food environment and facilities. Results: Of 8520 records identified, 26 studies were included. Twelve studies found a moderating and 3 a mediating effect. The strongest evidence came from studies examining the moderating effect of school composition, that is, the negative impact of a low individual socioeconomic position on mental health and well-being was aggravated by a low average socioeconomic position of schools. Evidence concerning the role of school climate, school stratification (eg, performance base tracking) and sponsorship, food environment and sport facilities and equipment was generally weak or very weak and mostly based on singular findings. Overall, favourable meso-level characteristics mitigated the negative impact of low individual socioeconomic position on health outcomes. Conclusions: School characteristics affect health inequalities in children and adolescents to some degree, but future research is necessary to strengthen the existing evidence and address under-represented aspects in school characteristics and health outcomes.

T1 - Health inequalities during school-to-work transitions among young adults: Mapping the evidence T2 - European Journal of Public Health N2 - Background School-to-work transition is a sensitive period that can have a substantial impact on health over the life course. Previous studies suggest pronounced health inequalities during this period but little is known about the determinants at the individual, meso- and macro-levels. We aim to further elucidate possible health inequalities during school-to-work transitions with a focus on multilevel determinants, e.g. evidence on potential effects of contextual and compositional factors of specific institutions involved. Methods We are currently conducting a scoping review (funded by the German Research Foundation) to map the evidence on the above mentioned topic among young adults (aged 16-24 years), following the methodological framework proposed by Arksey and ÓMalley and PRISMA. The literature search was performed in Ovid MEDLINE, Web of Science, ILO and NIOSH, using sensitive search strategy developed by text-analysis. Only articles published between January 2000 - February 2020 and written in English or German are considered. The selection process is conducted following a two-step approach:1) screening of titles and abstracts 2) screening of full-texts by two independent reviewers. Any discrepancies in the selection process are resolved by a third researcher. Preliminary Results Following the five stages of the methodological framework, the scoping review is currently in stage 3 (study selection-screening phase). We found 25,069 potentially relevant articles in our primary search. 15,508 articles remained after the duplicates were removed. Up to now, 8,825 papers were screened of which 7,629 were excluded and 1,176 included which qualified for full-text reading. Complete results of the scoping review will be presented at the conference. Conclusions This scoping review will improve our knowledge about the emergence and development of health inequalities during school-to-work transitions by examining health of individuals in different institutional contexts. Key messages - Improving our knowledge of health inequalities during school-to-work transitions. - the role of determinants at the individual, meso- and macro-levels during this stage will also be examined.

Little is currently known about the pathways by which family SEP is influencing child health and health-related behaviour, and which role family characteristics play. The scoping review therefore aims to screen the international literature on the mediating and moderating effects of contextual and compositional family characteristics on socioeconomic health risks of pre-school children in developed countries. Methods: Following the PRISMA guidelines for scoping reviews, three online databases (Pubmed, PsycINFO, and Scopus) will be searched for literature in English or German published after year 2000. The two-step data screening approach and the subsequent data extraction will be conducted independently by two researchers in consideration of specific criteria and a previously tested standardized data extraction form. Due to the broad research question at hand, various study designs (e.g. cross-sectional, intervention, cohort studies, and qualitative studies), SEP measures (e.g. education, income) and compositional (e.g. family size, migration) or contextual (e.g. parenting, housing) family characteristics influencing children ́s health will be included. Since diverse definitions and reporting formats of subjective health, health behaviour, well-being, and diseases will be considered, a substantial heterogeneity in outcome measures focusing on the age group of 0-6 years is expected. Thus, a narrative synthesis of the findings will be performed according to the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination framework. Ethics and dissemination: Because no primary data will be collected, ethical clearance will not be required. Dissemination will include peer-reviewed publications and conferences.

A1 - Schüttig, Wiebke A1 - De Bock, Freia A1 - Spallek, Jacob T1 - Do family characteristics contribute to a socioeconomic gradient in overweight in early childhood? – Single mediation analyses of data from German preschool children T2 - Preventive Medicine Reports N2 - Children’s overweight is strongly associated with family socioeconomic position (SEP) and family characteristics (FC). There is limited research on the extent to which FC account for a socioeconomic gradient in childhood overweight. This study examined whether FC explain SEP differences in the prevalence of overweight. The study used baseline data of preschool-aged children from the German ‘PReschool INtervention Study’. The sample (n = 872, 48% girls) was recruited at kindergartens in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Data included children’s measured weight status and parents’ reports on socioeconomic indicators (e.g., school education, vocational education, income) and FC. Variables represent main determinants of overweight (nutrition: sweets consumption in front of TV, soft drink consumption, regular breakfast, child sets table; physical activity: outdoor sports; parental role model). In single mediation analyses indirect effects of SEP on overweight were analysed (OR[95%CI]). Preschool girls and boys with low parental education had higher odds for overweight than children with high parental education. Among boys, low levels of parental education contributed to the odds of overweight via indirect effects by both factors ‘sweets consumption in front of TV’ (OR = 1.31[1.05–1.59]) and ‘no sports’ (OR = 1.14[1.01–1.38]). Among girls, FC measured did not explain SEP differences in overweight. Family nutrition and parental/family physical activity contribute to inequalities in overweight among preschool boys, but not girls. Research is needed to identify FC that explain inequalities in overweight for both.

T1 - Self-rated health of university students in Germany-The importance of material, psychosocial, and behavioral factors and the parental socio-economic status T2 - Frontiers in Public Health N2 - Health inequalities start early in life. The time of young adulthood, between late teens and early twenties, is especially interesting in this regard. This time of emerging adulthood, the transition from being a child to becoming an adult, is characterised by the detachment from parents and establishing of an own independent life. From a health inequality perspective, the question about the importance of the socio-economic background of parents is important. University students are an especially interesting group. Many students come from a privileged background and the question of health inequality among university students has not yet been properly studied. Based on the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS), we analysed health inequalities among 9,000 students in Germany (Ø 20 years in the first year of their studies) over a period of eight years. We found that university students in Germany report a good and very good health. Yet, we still found substantial health inequalities. Students whose parents had a higher occupational status also reported less health problems. We were also able to tie health inequality on health behaviour, psychosocial resources, and material conditions.

A1 - Sundmacher, Leonie T1 - Die Rolle der regionalen Gesundheitspolitik für die sozioökonomische Ungleichheit in der Inanspruchnahme der Gesundheitsleistungen T2 - Gesundheitswesen N2 - Einleitung Die J1 ist eine Vorsorgeuntersuchung, die für Kinder zwischen 12 und 14 Jahren empfohlen ist. Im Gegensatz zu den etablierten U1- bis U9-Untersuchungen für jüngere Kinder mit Teilnahmeraten über 90% liegt die Teilnahme bei der J1 bei etwa 40%. Ein Grund für die mangelnde Teilnahme an der J1 ist die geringe Bekanntheit bei Eltern und Kindern. Mehrere Bundesländer haben Einladungswesen eingeführt, um Jugendliche zur Teilnahme an der J1 zu motivieren. Die Einladung „Dein Ticket zur J1“ wurde Mitte 2017 in Bayern eingeführt. Das „Ticket“ ist ein Informationsflyer über die J1 in einer jugendgerechten Gestaltung. Die vorliegende Analyse untersuchte, ob die regionale Informationskampagne zu einer Steigerung der Teilnahme an der J1 geführt hat, ob die Effekte mit dem sozioökonomischen Status der Familie (SES) variieren und welche Meso-Ebene-Merkmale des Gesundheitssystems mit der J1-Teilnahme korrelieren. Methoden Um die Wirkung der Intervention zu untersuchen, wurden bundesweite anonymisierte Routinedaten der Techniker Krankenkasse aus den Jahren 2016-2018 sowie ein Difference-in-Differences-Design auf individueller Ebene verwendet. Unter der Annahme eines parallelen Trends auf Bundesländerebene wurde die J1-Teilnahme von 13- und 14-Jährigen in Bayern mit anderen Bundesländern vor und nach der Intervention verglichen. Zusätzlich wurde die Analyse für die verschiedenen SES-Gruppen durchgeführt. Wir untersuchten auch, ob Faktoren auf Mesoebene des Gesundheitssystems mit der Teilnahme an der J1 korrelierten. Ergebnisse Die Einführung von „Dein Ticket zur J1“ erhöhte die Teilnahme an der J1 um 1 %. Obwohl eine höhere Bildung und berufliche Stellung der Eltern positiv mit der J1-Teilnahme korrelierten, war der Effekt der Intervention bei Kindern aus Familien mit niedrigerem SES stärker (Anstieg um 5 %). Die Kinderarztdichte auf Kreisebene korrelierte zudem positiv mit der Teilnahme an der J1. Schlussfolgerung Die Intervention hat das Potenzial, die sozioökonomische Ungleichheit bei der Inanspruchnahme von Gesundheitsleistungen zu verringern, da die Effekte für Kinder aus Familien mit niedrigerem SES stärker waren. Es bedarf jedoch weiterer Maßnahmen, um Jugendliche über die J1 und die damit verbundenen gesundheitlichen Vorteile zu informieren. Zukünftige Studien sollten untersuchen, von welchen weiteren Faktoren die Wirksamkeit der Intervention abhängt, wie z. B. die Art und Anzahl der Kommunikationskanäle.
