Integration of Vulnerable Groups in the Healthcare System

Description

With this project we contribute to the improved integration of vulnerable groups into the healthcare system, which constitutes a central component of social participation and social security. The aim of the project is to identify the extent of systematic inequalities in health status and inadequate healthcare use in three relevant vulnerable groups and to investigate their underlying factors and mechanisms. The three vulnerable groups are: 1. children, 2. the elderly and chronically ill, 3. migrants.
