Based on the data of the second follow-up to the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS Wave 2, 2014-2017), the health situation of 11- to 17-year-olds with and without a migration background is described using selected indicators. In order to account for the diversity among children and adolescents with a migration background, the health indicators used in this study are stratified by migration background but also by additional migration-related characteristics. In addition, the results from the various subgroups are also stratified by sociodemographic characteristics. No differences in self-assessed general health or the outpatient utilisation of paediatric and general medical services were identified between 11- to 17-year-olds with and without a migration background. However, migration-related differences were identified in health behaviour: whereas children and adolescents with a one- or two-sided migration background are more frequently overweight (including obesity), they consume risky amounts of alcohol less often than those of the same age without a migration background. Finally, the outcomes of the indicators also vary according to migration-related and sociodemographic characteristics.}, keywords = {Bundesrepublik Deutschland; Gesundheit; Mikrozensus; migration background; Migration; regression analysis; Federal Republic of Germany; Jugendlicher; Monitoring; cross-sectional study; Kind; Gesundheitsbericht; health status; monitoring; Gesundheitsverhalten; microcensus; representativity; Querschnittuntersuchung; adolescent; Regressionsanalyse; Berichterstattung; Gesundheitszustand; child; Repräsentativität; self-assessment; Selbsteinschätzung; migration; Migrationshintergrund; health behavior; reporting; health; health report}}
