and on family intergenerational support. At the same time, families and family well-being in turn determine health, social support and resilience.

The results will be used to analyse the describe the health situation of young people and families, identify suboptimal developments and to identify starting points for the development of strategies for health promotion of families and prevention at population level. In this context, the cross-sectional perspective of a consideration of well-being andwell-being and health plays a particularly important role.
