The Impact of Complex Systems in Understanding Adolescents’ Health (risk) Behaviors; An Interdisciplinary Approach.

Friday, March 10, 2023 · Brussels, Belgium

Social Psychology

Health (risk) behaviors are often a consequence of the interplay between adolescents and their environment. Peers and parents play a crucial role in adolescent development and affect young people's behavior and health. Understanding how this interaction evolves requires an interdisciplinary perspective with attention to social, psychophysiological and environmental influences.
