It is a necessary pre-condition for the involvement in decisions about health and health care and related to health outcomes. Knowledge about limited health literacy in different age groups is crucial to better target public health interventions for subgroups of the population. However, little is known about health literacy in Germany. The study therefore assesses the prevalence of limited health literacy and associated factors among different age groups. METHODS: The Health Literacy Survey Germany is a cross-sectional study with 2,000 participants aged 15 years or older in private households. Perceived health literacy was assessed via computer-assisted personal interviews using the HLS-EU-Q-47 questionnaire. Descriptive analyses, chi-square tests and odds ratios were performed stratified for different age groups. RESULTS: The population affected by limited perceived health literacy increases by age. Of the respondents aged 15-29 years, 47.3 % had limited perceived health literacy and 47.2 % of those aged 30-45 years, whereas 55.2 % of the respondents aged 46-64 years and 66.4 % aged 65 years and older showed limited perceived health literacy. In all age groups, limited perceived health literacy was associated with limited functional health literacy, low social status, and a high frequency of doctor visits. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest a need to further investigate perceived health literacy in all phases of the life-course. Particular attention should be devoted to persons with lower social status, limited functional health literacy and/or a high number of doctor visits in all age groups.

Developmental Tasks in Adolescence makes an exciting contribution to the field by applying socialisation theory to four major developmental tasks of life: Qualifying, Bonding, Consumption and Participation, arguing that if the tasks in these areas are mastered, then personal individuation and social integration can take place, a prerequisite for the formation of self-identity. In highly developed societies, adolescence encompasses a period of about 15 years on average. Puberty, or the transition from childhood, starts earlier and earlier, and the transition to adulthood is increasingly postponed. Developmental Tasks in Adolescence proposes that the way in which adolescents master the tasks of everyday life has become a pattern of orientation for the life stages which follow because of the new lifestyle requirements that are typical for modern democratic societies. Today, a life full of uncertainties and ambiguities is no longer limited to adolescence, but rather continues into adulthood. Hurrelmann and Quenzel's sociological approachis valuable reading for students and academics in psychology, sociology, education, social work and youth studies, and for those on professional training courses in these fields.

Data were derived from the National Educational Panel Study, including n = 5196 students (49.6% girls), nested in 478 classes and 250 secondary schools. School performance in class was measured by aggregating individual grade point average in Mathematics and German. The study could not reveal the “big-fish-little-pond”-effect regarding students’ life satisfaction but found differential effects for high- vs. low performing students. There was no significant association for low-performing students attending classes with higher class-level performance However, low-performing students revealed the lowest life satisfaction. High-performing students placed in classes with higher average performance reported lower life satisfaction compared to high-performing students in classes with lower average performance. This study provides evidence for the impact of the learning environment in class on school-aged children’s life satisfaction, by highlighting the differential sensitivity of high-performing students when placed in classes with higher or lower average performance.

In order to respond to the problem, several governments have adopted national action plans, which outline strategies to improve health literacy. Drawing on the action plans of the USA, Australia, Scotland, and Wales and applying Entman’s concept of framing, this paper analyses how health literacy debates are framed within the political arena as well as the factors that influence framing. Analysing data from policy documents and in-depth expert interviews, this paper identifies relevant frames developed to (i) define the problem of limited health literacy, (ii) provide causal explanations, (iii) rationalise why health literacy requires political action, and (iv) present solutions. The findings indicate that the malleability of the concept allows that a diversity of frames and solutions are promoted, yet risks that debates remain vague. Health literacy seems to have been successfully used to instigate political debates about health system reforms, patient empowerment, and shared decision making. The analysis suggests that health literacy might, if applied strategically, help to focus policy debates on key public health problems and the development of systemic solutions.

Fast immer zeigen sie, dass die Gesundheitskompetenz schlechter ausfällt als angenommen und große Teile der Bevölkerung eine niedrige Gesundheitskompetenz aufweisen. Um diese Situation zu verbessern, sind in vielen Ländern nationale Strategien und Aktionspläne zur Förderung von Gesundheitskompetenz erstellt worden. Diesen Beispielen folgend wurde jüngst auch für Deutschland ein Nationaler Aktionsplan Gesundheitskompetenz erarbeitet. An dem 2-jährigen Entwicklungsprozess waren 15 ausgewiesene Expertinnen und Experten beteiligt. Auf Basis einer Analyse vorliegender Literatur zur Gesundheitskompetenz und bestehender Aktionspläne wurden die Konzeption, Ziele und Schwerpunkte des Aktionsplans festgelegt und konkrete Empfehlungen erarbeitet. Der Nationale Aktionsplan Gesundheitskompetenz konzentriert sich auf die Handlungsbereiche alltägliche Lebenswelten, Gesundheitssystem, chronische Erkrankung und Forschung und formuliert für jeden konkrete Empfehlungen.

Methodik Datenbasis bildet das Nationale Bildungspanel (NEPS). Die Stichprobe umfasst (n=7348) Schüler der siebten Klassen in Regelschulen (Startkohorte 3, Welle 3, 2012). Merkmale des Klassenklimas umfassen Anforderungen, Kontrolle und Lernorientierung im Unterricht, Autonomie und Interaktion der Schüler sowie die Unterrichtsqualität, jeweils auf die Lehrkräfte in Deutsch bezogen. Das schulische Wohlbefinden wird über die Schulzufriedenheit sowie Hilflosigkeit in zentralen Schulfächern erfasst. Es werden sowohl bivariate Analysen als auch logistische Mehrebenenmodelle, unter Kontrolle von Alter, Geschlecht und besuchter Schulform, durchgeführt. Ergebnisse Die Ergebnisse der Mehrebenenmodelle zeigen, dass insbesondere Schüler mit einer höheren Schulzufriedenheit eine bessere Gesundheit und weniger krankheitsbedingte Fehltage berichten. Eine höhere Hilflosigkeit und Lernorientierung sind dagegen negativ mit beiden Zielgrößen assoziiert. Hauptschüler besitzen zudem ein erhöhtes Risiko krankheitsbedingter Fehltage im Vergleich zu Gymnasiasten. Schlussfolgerung Die Ergebnisse unterstreichen, dass insbesondere das schulische Wohlbefinden in Form der Schulzufriedenheit sowie der Hilflosigkeit in zentralen Schulfächern eng mit der subjektiven Gesundheit und krankheitsbedingten Fehltagen assoziiert ist. Maßnahmen zur Gesundheitsförderung sollten daher v. a. auf das schulische Wohlbefinden gerichtet werden sowie Schüler adressieren, die eine andere Schulform als das Gymnasium besuchen.

Nach bisher drei Erhebungswellen in den Jahren 2010, 2013 und 2016 ist dies die vierte Auflage der bundesweit repräsentativen Jugendstudie „Jugend, Vorsorge, Finanzen“. 2 500 Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene im Alter von 17 bis 27 Jahren wurden befragt. Erneut wurden auch Gastautorinnen und Gaustautoren aus Wissenschaft, Institutionen und Wirtschaft eingeladen, die Befragungsergebnisse mit ihren Analysen und Kommentaren zu ergänzen. Wie bewältigen junge Menschen das Spannungsfeld von eigener Verantwortung und staatlicher Regulierung? Welche Veränderungen werden gebraucht für eine zukunftsfeste Alterssicherung, die zur Lebenswirklichkeit der jungen Menschen passt?

Hurrelmann and Richter build upon the basic theories of health and the popular model of salutogenesis to offer a comprehensive interdisciplinary theory of health genesis and success: Productive Processing of Reality (PPR). The authors show that health is the lifelong dynamic process of dealing with the internal reality of physical and psychological impulses and the external reality of social and material impulses. To demonstrate this, the book is split into three interconnected parts. Part A analyses the determinants of health, providing an overview of the insights of current research and the impact of socioeconomic influences and gender on health. Part B covers public health, social, learning and coping theories, all of which understand health as an interaction between people and their environment. Part C draws on these four theories to outline PPR, stressing the interrelation between physical and mental constitution and the demands of the social and mental environment, and suggesting strategies for coping with these demands during the life course. Understanding Public Health: Productive Processing of Internal and External Reality will be valuable reading for students and researchers in psychology, sociology, educational science, public health and medical science, and for policymakers in public health.

Methods A nationwide, population-based survey was conducted in May–June 2020 (W1), December 2020–January 2021 (W2), September–October 2021 (W3), February 2022 (W4), and September–October 2022 (W5). In total, n = 2,471 children and adolescents aged 7–17 years (n = 1,673 aged 11–17 years with self-reports) were assessed using internationally established and validated measures of HRQoL (KIDSCREEN-10), mental health problems (SDQ), anxiety (SCARED), depressive symptoms (CES-DC, PHQ-2), psychosomatic complaints (HBSC-SCL), and fear about the future (DFS-K). Findings were compared to prepandemic population-based data. Results While the prevalence of low HRQoL increased from 15% prepandemic to 48% at W2, it improved to 27% at W5. Similarly, overall mental health problems rose from 18% prepandemic to W1 through W2 (30–31%), and since then slowly declined (W3: 27%, W4: 29%, W5: 23%). Anxiety doubled from 15% prepandemic to 30% in W2 and declined to 25% (W5) since then. Depressive symptoms increased from 15%/10% (CES-DC/PHQ-2) prepandemic to 24%/15% in W2, and slowly decreased to 14%/9% in W5. Psychosomatic complaints are across all waves still on the rise. 32–44% of the youth expressed fears related to other current crises. Conclusion Mental health of the youth improved in year 3 of the pandemic, but is still lower than before the pandemic.
