Equal opportunities in the health system

Health is the most important thing in life – almost everyone agrees with this statement. However, people’s attitudes toward health and illness, their behavior, evaluations and expectations regarding health and health care are very heterogeneous. The 2011 study took a milieu-specific look at self-perceptions when it came to health-related issues in terms of interests, attitudes, expectations, experiences, behavior patterns and action maxims, and provides insight into everyday contexts. It investigated the causes of milieu-typical health risks and formulated conclusions for health policy.
