The purpose of this essay was to examine whether there were any differences in social workers way of investigating boys and girls, age 13-15. The main questions we wanted to answer were; which were the factors that the social workers focused on? Did the investigations lead to a measure and if so, which one? How were risk and protection factors described and ana-lysed?To answer our questions we read and analyzed 22 reports, written by social workers 2004 at the department for teenagers and families at a social welfare service in Sweden. We came to the conclusion that there were some differences, but these were few and not extensive. Recreational activities was mentioned in a higher degree in the boys reports while health, housing conditions and network were mentioned more often in the girl´s reports. It was more common that boys didn´t get any measures at all and only girls got the measure "LIHF-programmet" (Lösningsfokuserad intensiv hemmabaserad familjebehandling). The risk and protective factors didn´t appear clear in the reports, neither in those regarding boys nor in those concerning girls.
