Research sought to identify combinations of risk and protective factors predicting change in physical activity (PA) over one year in high school students. Adolescents (N = 344; M = 15.7 years) participated in a longitudinal study with assessment of demographics, substance use/smoking exposure, height and weight, psychological factors, and PA in 10th and 11th grade. PA participation in 11th grade was greatest for adolescents who engaged in PA and had high sports competence (78%), and least for adolescents who did not engage in or enjoy PA (13%) in 10th grade. Identifying adolescent subgroups at risk for decreasing PA can inform the development of tailored interventions.

Abstract Background: Because of its availability, alcohol has become one of the most abundant substances among young people. It is the teenage age of young people who experiment with alcohol. The Varazdin environment is proverbially considered an area where alcoholic beverages are heavily consumed by the population. This study explored the views of alcohol consumption among high school students. The authors have determined which are risk and protective factors associated with the consumption of alcohol among students. Methods: The sample included students of the entire generation of the third year of high school in Varaždin County (n= 1352). In the bivariate analysis, we used an independent test t-test and a chi-square. In the multivariate analysis, we used logistic regression. Results: 92.4% of students have already consumed alcoholic beverages in their lifetime. We found that most alcohol was consumed by vocational school students, followed by gymnasium students and medical school students. If both the father and mother are tougher and if the mother is more determined, the student will be less likely to enjoy alcohol. The strongest factor affecting alcohol consumption is the presence of alcohol in the father (rarely and often). Conclusions: For the first time, the medical school was included in the study, and the results showed a surprisingly high alcohol consumption among these students. In the study, we also proved that psychosocial factors have the greatest influence on alcohol consumption among students.It is important to strive to maintain healthy family relationships, communication, and family support, as well as to provide a better quality of leisure time. It is also necessary to encourage the development of prevention and education programs in schools.
