Background:There are over 7 million US high school athletes and one-third are overweight or obese. Our objective was to examine injury patterns by body mass index (BMI) in high school athletes.Methods:Certified athletic trainers (ATCs) at 100 nationally representative US high schools submitted exposure and injury information during the 2005 to 08 school years via High School RIO (Reporting Information Online). We retrospectively categorized injured athletes as underweight (≤15th percentile), normal weight (15th−85th percentile), overweight (85th−95th percentile), or obese (≥95th percentile).Results:ATCs reported 13,881 injuries during 5,627,921 athlete-exposures (2.47 injuries per 1000 athlete-exposures). Nearly two-thirds (61.4%) of injured high school athletes were normal weight. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was highest among injured football athletes (54.4%). Compared with normal weight athletes, obese athletes sustained a larger proportion of knee injuries (Injury Proportion Ratio [IPR] = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.14 to 1.42) and their injuries were more likely to have resulted from contact with another person (IPR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.26 to 1.37). Compared with normal weight athletes, underweight athletes sustained a larger proportion of fractures (IPR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.10 to 1.92) and a larger proportion of injuries resulting from illegal activity (IPR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.03 to 2.46).Conclusions:Injury patterns differ by BMI. BMI-targeted preventive interventions should be developed to help decrease sports injury rates.

Knowledge And Attitude

Peer groups are teenagers who are equal to the same age and maturity level as well as a place to socialize. One of the problem in adolescence is the lack of knowledge and attitude towards pulmonary TB disease. Purpose of this research to know influence of health counseling peer group model to knowledge and attitude of adolescent about pulmonary TB, type of quasi experimental research, using a comparison group given intervention with non- intervention. This research process has been carried out in april- june 2017 at YP Senior High School Singosari Deli Tua Regency Deli Serdang by method simple random sampling. The number of samples is 76 (38 respondents of intervention group and 38  respondents of non-intervention group). The result showed there was a significant difference (p<0,05) the average value of knowledge and attitudes of adolescents  in the intervention and non-intervention groups. This conclusion shows that there is influence of health counseling peer group model to knowledge and attitude of adolescent about pulmonary TB at YP Senior High School Singosari Deli Tua Regency DeliSerdang.

Knowledge And Attitude

Drugs is the most common problem in Indonesia. Based on survey by Badan Narkotika Nasional (BNN) on 2012, the number of drug used cases on students in Jawa Barat were 2,27% with the highest use of drug is on High School degree as much as 19.730 cases. The amount of highest drug cases on teenagers in Bandung City, one of them were occurred in Babakan Sari area. There are some factors that influence the use of drugs on students, such as knowledge and attitude.The study aim to know the descriptive of knowledge and attitude on students in Public Senior High School 16 Bandung toward drugs. This research was conducted to 302 students in Public Senior High School 16 Bandung on 2017. Stratified proportionate random sampling was used to recrute the sample.

Concussive Injury

Context: Many athletes continue to participate in practices and games while experiencing concussion-related symptoms, potentially predisposing them to subsequent and more complicated brain injuries. Limited evidence exists about factors that may influence concussion-reporting behaviors. Objective: To examine the influence of knowledge and attitude on concussion-reporting behaviors in a sample of high school athletes. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Participants completed a validated survey instrument via mail. Patients or Other Participants: A total of 167 high school athletes (97 males, 55 females, 5 sex not indicated; age = 15.7 ± 1.4 years) participating in football, soccer, lacrosse, or cheerleading. Intervention(s): Athlete knowledge and attitude scores served as separate predictor variables. Main Outcome Measure(s): We examined the proportion of athletes who reported continuing to participate in games and practices while symptomatic from possible concussion and the self-reported proportion of recalled concussion and bell-ringer events disclosed after possible concussive injury. Results: Only 40% of concussion events and 13% of bell-ringer recalled events in the sample were disclosed after possible concussive injury. Increased athlete knowledge of concussion topics (increase of 1 standard deviation = 2.8 points) was associated with increased reporting prevalence of concussion and bell-ringer events occurring in practice (prevalence ratio [PR] = 2.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.60, 3.21) and the reporting prevalence of bell-ringer-only events overall (PR = 1.87, 95% CI = 1.38, 2.54). Athlete attitude scores (increase of 1 standard deviation = 11.5 points) were associated with decreases in the proportion of athletes stating they participated in games (PR = 0.74, 95% CI = 0.66, 0.82) and practices (PR = 0.67, 95% CI = 0.59, 0.77) while symptomatic from concussions. Conclusions: Most recalled concussion events in our study were not reported to a supervising adult. Clinicians should be aware that knowledge and attitude influence concussion reporting. Clinicians and administrators should make concussion education a priority and encourage an optimal reporting environment to better manage and prevent concussive injuries in young athletes.
