This paper examines the association between social relations and psychological and pscyhcosomatic health complaints, among adolescents in sweden. We focused on relationships with parents, as well as relationships with peers in school and in leisure time. Both the structure and the content of relations were analysed. For the latter, we looked at supportive as well as strained relations. The data was the pooled child supplements of the swedish welfare surveys conducted in 2000 - 2003. This consitutes a nationally representaitve, cross sectional sample of 10 - 18 year olds (n = 5137) where information was collected from both adolescents and their parents. Results showed that young people's social relations with parents and peers clearly covaried with their health complaints. With regard to family relations and psychological complaints the association was more pronounced for relational content than for relational structure. For instance, whether relations with parents were more strongly associated with health complaints, especially psychosomatic complaints, than were supportive relations. This applied to relationships with parents as well as with peers in school.
