PHR-youth aims at enhancing child and youth development and participation. It does research jointly with professionals working in prevention and care, in particular on reducing psychosocial and neurodevelopmental problems.

PHR-youth assesses the best ways to reach groups at risk, i.e. vulnerable, and unravels mechanisms connecting adversity with poor outcomes. It further addresses circumstances and mechanisms via which interventions work. The programme is embedded in the practice of public health and primary care, and focuses in particular on vulnerable and hard to reach groups.
