The association between unemployment and hospital admission is known, but the causal relationship is still under discussion. The aim of the present analysis is to compare results of a cross-sectional and a cohort approach considering overall hospital admission and hospital admission due to cancer and circulatory disease. Register-based data were analysed for the period of 2006–2009. In the cross-sectional analysis, a multiple logistic regression model was conducted based on the year 2006, and cohort information from the same year onward up to 2009 was available for a Cox regression model. Social welfare compensated unemployment and both types of disease-specific hospital admission were associated to be statistically significant in the cross-sectional analysis. With regard to circulatory disease, the cohort approach suggests that social welfare compensated unemployment might lead to hospital admission due to the disease. Given the significant results in the cross-sectional analysis for hospital admission due to cancer, the unfound cohort effect might indicate a reverse causation suggesting that the disease caused joblessness, and finally social welfare compensated unemployment and not vice versa. Comparing different study designs allows for a better causal interpretation, which should be recommended in future quantitative social welfare analysis.

Knowledge on compliance with governmental recommendations in combating the spread of COVID-19 in different groups is important to target efforts. This study investigated the adherence to the governmental implemented COVID-19 measures and its predictors in Danish university students, a not-at-risk group for COVID-19 mortality and normally characterized by many social contacts. As part of the COVID-19 International Student Wellbeing Study, a survey on socio-demographic situation, study information, living arrangements, lifestyle behaviors, stress, questions about COVID-19 infection and knowledge and concern about COVID-19 infection was sent via email to relevant university students in Denmark in May, 2020 (n = 2.945). Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was employed. Our results showed that around 60% of the students were not concerned about COVID-19, while 68% reported that they followed governmental measures. The main facilitators for following the recommendations were older age, concern about COVID-19 and depression, while barriers were living in a student hall, being physical active or reporting mental stress. Only 9% of the variation in adhering to governmental recommendations could be explained by the analyzed predictors. Results may inform health communication. Emotionally appealing information rather than knowledge-based information may be more effective in motivating students to follow COVID-19 measures.

Despite the proximity of both countries, Danes and Germans differ in the level of trust in their government. This may play a role with respect to the disruptive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on university students. This study investigated the association between trust in governmental regulations, trust in university regulations, risk perceptions, and academic frustration among Danish and German students. As part of the COVID-19 International Student Well-being Study, an online survey was distributed among university students in participating European and non-European universities. In Denmark, 2945 students and Germany, 8725 students responded to the questionnaire between May and July 2020. Students from both countries reported approximately the same level of academic frustration concerning their progress and quality of education. However, German students perceived a higher risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2 compared to Danish respondents. Danish students showed higher trust in their government's COVID-19 regulations than German students. Lower trust in government and university COVID-19 regulations and higher risk perception were associated with higher academic frustration. These results indicate that the level of trust in COVID-19 regulations might have an impact the overall frustration of students regarding their study conditions.

In diesem Kapitel befassen wir uns mit der materiellen Umwelt der Menschen und den Auswirkungen, die sie auf die menschliche Gesundheit haben kann. Vor allem in den letzten beiden Jahrhunderten hat sich unsere Umwelt durch Bevölkerungswachstum, Industrialisierung und Urbanisierung stark verändert, und sie verändert sich laufend weiter. Im ersten Abschnitt widmen wir uns dem sich ändernden Klima und seinen ökologischen und gesundheitlichen Folgen. Dazu diskutieren wir die politischen Aspekte, die in diesem Zusammenhang von großer Bedeutung sind, einschließlich der Maßnahmen zur Reduktion von Treibhausgasemissionen. Im zweiten Abschnitt gehen wir auf die Trinkwasserversorgung und Abwasserentsorgung ein, die von zentraler Bedeutung für die Gesundheit der Bevölkerung sind. Der nächste Abschnitt widmet sich der Verschmutzung des Bodens, der Grundlage des Lebens auf dem Festland und wesentliche Basis der Nahrungsmittelproduktion und des Wasserhaushaltes. Danach beschäftigen wir uns mit der Luftverschmutzung. Wir betrachten die wichtigsten Schadstoffquellen, die gesundheitlichen Auswirkungen der Luftverschmutzung und mögliche präventiven Maßnahmen. In einem weiteren Abschnitt erörtern wir die Begriffe und Maßeinheiten rund um ionisierende und nicht ionisierende Strahlung, die häufigsten Strahlungsquellen, gesundheitlichen Auswirkungen und präventive Maßnahmen. Abschließend definieren wir Schall und Lärm, schauen uns die wichtigsten Lärmquellen an und gehen auf die Bedeutung der durch Lärm ausgelösten Erkrankungen und ihre Prävention ein.

Dieser Abschlussbericht stellt die Ergebnisse des Projektes "Rehabilitative Versorgung und gesundheitsbedingte Frühberentung von Personen mit Migrationshintergrund in Deutschland" vor. Auf Basis eines quantitativen und qualitativen Forschungszugangs wurde untersucht, inwiefern sich einzelne Gruppen von ausländischen Staatsangehörigen bzw. Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund hinsichtlich der Häufigkeit von Arbeitsunfällen und Berufskrankheiten, der Inanspruchnahme beruflicher und medizinischer Rehabilitationsmaßnahmen, des Rehabilitationserfolges und der Frühberentung von Deutschen bzw. Menschen ohne Migrationshintergrund unterscheiden. Unter Bezugnahme auf Prozess- und Individualdaten unterschiedlicher Rehabilitationsträger zeigt der Bericht, dass Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund im Durchschnitt weniger häufig Maßnahmen der medizinischen Rehabilitation in Anspruch nehmen sowie einen geringeren Rehabilitationserfolg und höhere Frühberentungsquoten aufweisen als die Mehrheitsbevölkerung. Auf Basis einer systematischen Literaturrecherche und mittels qualitativer Experten- und Fokusgruppeninterviews werden darüber hinaus unterschiedliche Zugangs-, Durchführungs- und Wirksamkeitsbarrieren in der Rehabilitation von Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund identifiziert, welche die quantitativen Ergebnisse zumindest teilweise erklären können. Handlungsempfehlungen für die Verbesserung der rehabilitativen Versorgung von Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund werden abgeleitet.
