The aim of this paper is to study how internalising and externalising problems in the 10th grade are associated with non-completion of upper secondary school, and to examine the mediating role of grade points in the 10th grade across general academic and vocational tracks in upper secondary school. We also study the impact of health behaviour. SN - 1471-2458 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2458-14-16 DO - 10.1186/1471-2458-14-16 ID - Sagatun2014 ER -
