Purpose: This study aimed to identify psychosocial factors associated with smoking cessation attempts among Korean high school students who engage in intermittent and light smoking.Methods: Cross-sectional secondary data derived from the 2018 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey were analyzed within the framework of the biopsychosocial model. The sample comprised 829 high school students who reported current intermittent and light smoking, which was defined as cigarette smoking on 1~29 days in a 30-day period and no more than 10 cigarettes per day. Purposeful selection logistic regression analysis was performed.Results: In total, 71.7% (n=586) of the respondents had tried to stop smoking during the past 12 months. The main result was that respondents who had viewed an anti-smoking advertisement in the past year significantly more smoking cessation attempts than those who had not (adjusted odds ratio=2.59; 95% confidence interval=1.45~4.62, <i>p</i>=.001).Conclusion: To encourage smoking cessation attempts among high school students who engage in intermittent and light smoking, healthcare providers, including school and community nurses, should develop effective interventions using anti-smoking advertisements tailored to adolescents’ interests and developmental stage.

AbstractObjectivesThe study aimed to examine factors associated with past 30 days waterpipe use among high school students in Jakarta, Indonesia.MethodsWe surveyed a multistage cluster random sample of 1,318 students of grade 10th and 11th from 14 schools in Jakarta. Multiple logistic regressions were employed to examine the association between past 30 days waterpipe use with sociodemographic characteristics, cigarettes smoking status, parental and peer use, availability and affordability.ResultsOf 1,318 participants, 3.3% of female and 8.4% of male currently smoked waterpipe. Multivariate analysis revealed that current waterpipe use was significantly associated with family use (AOR: 4.844, 95% CI: 1.225–19.151), friend use (AOR: 2.554, 95% CI: 1.424–4.582), and availability (AOR: 2.143, 95% CI: 1.127–4.076). Being current smokers were six times more likely (AOR: 6.055, 95% CI: 3.123–11.739) to use waterpipe in the past 30 days.ConclusionsThe finding suggests that smoking by a family member, friends, use of conventional cigarettes, and availability are significantly associated with increased probability of current waterpipe used among adolescents.

Objetivo: El presente estudio pretende identificar la prevalencia y factores asociados a la experimentación de tabaco en adolescentes.Método: El estudio epidemiológico, transversal, descriptivo y analítico realizado con una muestra aleatoria simple de escolares con edad de 14 a 19 años, matriculados en escuelas públicas de enseñanza media de la red estadual del área urbana del municipio de Jequié-BA. Se utilizó un cuestionario auto-aplicable de llenado voluntario, tras la firma del término de consentimiento libre y aclarado por el responsable cuando menor de 18 años. Se empleó el programa Epi DATA para la digitación de los datos y programa SPSS para calcular la razón de prevalencia y realizar la regresión de Poisson. Resultados: En el estudio de 765 adolescentes, siendo 59,9% del sexo femenino, 80,4% de etnia no blanca, 71,4% sin ocupación remunerada, 74% menos favorecidos económicamente y 37,9% consumen bebida alcohólica. El promedio de edad fue de 16,55 años (dp ± 1,33) años. La prevalencia de la experimentación de tabaco fue del 22,4%. Las variables: padres fuman (RP = 1,57, IC95%: 1,15-2,12), amigos fuman (RP = 2,15, IC95%: 1,56-2,95), uso de bebidas alcohólicas PR = 2,05; IC del 95%: 1.46 a 2.88) y la edad (OR = 1,36; IC del 95%: 1,01-1,84) fueron los que permitieron predecir mejor el riesgo de que un escolar experimente con el tabaco. Conclusiones: La prevalencia de experimentación fue 22,4%, y las variables que mejor permitieron predecir la predisposición de un escolar a experimentar el tabaco fueron tener padres fumadores, tener amigos que fuman, hacer uso de bebidas alcohólicas y ser del grupo de edad de 17 a 19 años.

Introduction HIV/AIDS is one of the most dreaded diseases of this century. Condom use is probably the most effective way to combat the disease. Objective: To study the factors associated with condom use among high school students in Natitingou in 2017. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional analytical study involving 202 individuals, based on non-random sampling technique with exhaustive choice. Collected data were processed and analyzed with Epi-Data 3.1 and Epi-Info 7. Results 128 male and 74 female students were included in the study. Mean age was 19.51 years. Prevalence of condom use was 40.63%. Factors associated with condom use were: level of education, injecting drug use, knowing one’s HIV status, ease access to condom, friends' point of view on voluntary testing. Conclusions There is still room for improving the prevalence of condom use among high school students, and this suggests the social gradient perspective that other more in-depth studies will be able to specify.

Objective: The aims of the study were to determine the prevalence of ADHD in a population of high school students and to explore the factors associated with this disorder. Method: This was a cross-sectional study that had included 447 high school students. The diagnosis of ADHD was made by the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale translated in Arabic language. The sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were evaluated by a preestablished questionnaire. The self-esteem was assessed by the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Results: The prevalence of ADHD was 18.1%. The logistic regression analysis showed an association between the diagnosis of ADHD and the bad relationships with parents (odds ratio [OR] = 16.43; p < 10-3), the presence of personal psychiatric antecedents (OR = 12.16; p < 10-3), internet misuse (OR = 2.39; p = .014), and maltreatment antecedents (OR = 3.16; p = .009). Conclusion: The prevalence of ADHD in this study was one of the highest prevalence reported. The factors associated with ADHD may have diagnostic and therapeutic implications.

One of the menstrual disorders that cause physical discomfort is dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea is menstrual pain that is felt in the lower abdomen and radiates to the pelvis which can interfere with daily activities. The magnitude of the prevalence rate of the incidence of dysmenorrhea, which reaches 90%, and can affect the activities of adolescents during menstruation, so it is necessary to look at the factors associated with the incidence of dysmenorrhea. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors associated with the incidence of dysmenorrhea in junior high school students. The type of research used is observational with a cross-sectional study approach using a questionnaire instrument. The population is all students of SMP 212 South Jakarta. The population of 103 students was obtained by proportional random sampling. The statistical test used was Chi-square with p = 0.05. The results showed the relationship between dysmenorrhea and menarche, length of menstruation, and exercise p>0.05. The results of the statistical analysis test showed that the dependent variables such as age at menarche, duration of menstruation, and lack of exercise were not associated with the incidence of dysmenorrhea because they had a value of α> 0.05. The conclusion of this study is that age at menarche, duration of menstruation, and lack of exercise do not affect the occurrence of dysmenorrhea.
