Description
With the school as a point of departure, the dissertation’s overarching aim is to explore everyday experiences of and conditions for health and well-being among young people who recently migrated to Sweden. Further, the aim is to illuminate and problematize the conditions and circumstances within which health is created and negotiated for this group of youths.

*Participants in Study I comprised 16 young people aged 16–20. Eight were born in Sweden, and eight had immigrated to Sweden in the past couple of years. The dissertation focuses on the newly arrived youths’ perspectives. The eight participants born in Sweden are not counted as participants in the comprehensive summary. However, in Study I, all participants’ perspectives are included in the published article (Study I).

The study (I–IV) participants were 46 newly arrived students, 16–20 years old, males and females from Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, Ethiopia, Burundi, Thailand, Turkmenistan, Palestine, Kosovo, and Greece. Some were unaccompanied refugees, and others had come with their families. Some had already received residence permits, were living with family and had a temporary work permit, while others were in the process of seeking asylum. They come from different socioeconomic backgrounds and with varying school experiences. They all attended a Language introduction in different cohorts.

Observational study
Description of study design
The empirical material (data) was created through three independent data collections, all with a qualitative, exploratory, and health-promoting approach. A qualitative and health-promoting design was used in Study I comprising qualitative task-based interviews focusing on the health and well-being of young people. Photovoice, a participatory research method well-suited for youth participation, was used in Study II. An ethnographic approach was used in Study III and IV, including participant observations, qualitative semi-structured interviews, and more informal conversations documented through field notes.
