Abstract
The data consist of two surveys aimed at young people not in employment, education or training (NEET). The surveys charted the young people's social participation, mental and physical well-being, and use of social and health services. Main themes in the surveys included living conditions, quality of life, social relationships, use of social and health services, lifestyle, and social media use. The baseline survey was conducted at the beginning of the research (questionnaire A, variables marked with a) and the second survey six months after the baseline survey (questionnaire B, variables marked with b). The respondents were randomly assigned into test and control groups based on the baseline survey. The test group participated in online group discussion that covered topics such as loneliness and hobbies. The group discussions were held on the heimo.co website and led by youth work professionals. The respondents in the control group were offered conventional targeted youth work services. All in all, four moderated discussion groups were organised for nine weeks in collaboration with the departments of youth services in three cities in Finland. The data were collected as part of the Inclusive Promotion of Health and Wellbeing (PROMEQ 2016-2019) research project, which studied population groups that need special support. The aim of the PROMEQ project was to develop and demonstrate novel models of promotion of health and wellbeing. Survey data from the other target groups of the project as well as combined data from all surveys are also available at FSD (FSD3433-FSD3436). The surveys included many scales and questions used in other studies. Questions were selected, for instance, from the Finnish Youth Surveys, as well as the Regional Health and Well-being Study (ATH) and Welfare and Services in Finland (HYPA) surveys conducted by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL). Most questions included in the baseline survey were repeated in the follow-up survey....
