Biography
Gonneke Stevens is Professor at the department of Interdisciplinary Social Science at Utrecht University, the Netherlands. Her research focuses on whether and why adolescent health and wellbeing varies as a function of proximal and more distal contexts. These contexts include the family, peer, school, neighborhood and the country in which adolescents grow up in. Moreover, she examines time trends and social inequalities in adolescent (mental) health. She investigates these topics by using complementary methods: large-scale, cross-sectional, internationally comparative research, longitudinal research, experimental and qualitative (participatory) research.
