AbstractObjective:To evaluate the implementation of the national health promotion programme (through nutritional education and Fe supplementation) among female high-school students in Iran and to assess the application of the crosswise model (CM) for evaluating the programme’s implementation.Design:Two cross-sectional surveys in female high-school students, one using the direct questioning (DQ) method and the other using the CM, were conducted. Two survey questionnaires used to collect the data contained questions about three aspects of the programme: delivering the Fe supplements, consuming them and holding nutritional training sessions.Setting:Female high schools, West Azerbaijan Province, Iran.Participants:A sample of 2180 students, of whom 1740 were surveyed by the CM and 440 were interviewed by DQ.Results:The CM resulted in estimates that were consistently lower than the estimates of the DQ. The proportion of students in the DQ and CM who reported receiving the pills weekly and on a regular basis was 73·2 and 22·5 %, respectively. About 43 and 31 % of students in the DQ and CM surveys reported consuming all pills delivered to them. In the DQ method, only 12 % of students who reported the number of pills consumed had taken the complete dose (sixteen pills).Conclusions:Implementation of the Fe supplementation programme in female high schools was poor and insufficient, so that it seems unsuccessful in reducing Fe-deficiency anaemia in adolescent girls. The CM might be considered for evaluating the health programme’s implementation at high schools.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Unintended pregnancy which ends up majorly with induced abortion is the leading cause of maternal mortality and morbidity around the globe. Youths are more prone to unintended pregnancy because of the rising level of premarital sexual practice across all parts of the world. This raising level of premarital sex can be partly explained by the fact that youths face various problems in regulating fertility through the use of modern contraceptives. Lack of information, socio-cultural, economic barriers in accessing contraceptives, violence as well as socio-cultural beliefs impede major role in preventing unintended pregnancy. OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence and determinants of unintended pregnancy among female high school students of Arsi Zone. METHODOLOGY: Institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted between February and August 2018 G. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire. A multi-stage sampling procedure was employed to reach 830 respondents. A bivariate analysis was carried out to examine the relationship between unintended pregnancy and explanatory variables. Variables that were statistically significant (with p-value <0.05) at the bivariate level were included in the multivariate logistic regression to control confounding factors and determine the independent determinants of unintended pregnancy among high school students. RESULT: Forthy five (30%) of the respondents reported that they were pregnant at the time of the study period. Of the study participants who had been pregnant, 28(62.22%) students got their pregnancy at the age of 16 and 17; and 6(13.33%) got pregnant at the age of 18 and 19. Age at first sexual intercourse, using contraceptive methods, drinking alcohol, chewing kchat, lack of knowledge, and failure to discuss reproductive health information with families were significant predictors of unintended pregnancy. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of unintended pregnancy among the study participants is high (29.3%), and almost all were ended up with abortion. Most reasons reported for having unwanted pregnancy were that they were still in school and they don’t have money to take care of their baby. Keywords: Prevalence, Untended pregnancy, Arsi Zone

This study surveyed attitudes, behaviors, social norms, and perceived control among the populations of students at three high schools in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The results showed a pattern of hesitancy to cycle on the part of female high school students compared with their male counterparts. Young women reported less access to a bicycle, less comfort or confidence in riding, more fear associated with cycling, and less ability to decide independently how to travel to school. The study identified two important variables that were likely associated with young women's smaller participation in cycling to school: overall cycling mode share and ability to decide their travel mode independently. The former variable tracked findings for the general population, and the latter appeared to have been associated with the proximity of immigration, as families might have brought associations of danger to independent female travelers from their countries of origin or perceived new dangers in Canada. While the former association is well established, the latter hypothesis warrants further research.

Breast cancer is one of the main women's health problem in the world, including Indonesia. Efforts to control this disease can be increased through education to the women community about the breast examination method named SADARI. This is simple but effective method to be used as a primary breast cancer prevention strategy. This method aims to find breast abnormalities routinely checked every month in women aged 18 and above. Therefore, educational efforts regarding the SADARI method for female high school students are expected to increase their knowledge about this method. The educational effort was carried out by disseminating information about SADARI method using poster media on female high school students in Mataram City. Pre-test and post-test are used to to evaluate the increase of their knowledge about the SADARI method. About 40 participants from SMAN 2, SMAN 3, SMAN 4, and SMAN 7 Mataram have participated in this dissemination activities of SADARI education method. There was an increase in student knowledge in the four high schools based on differences in the total mean pre-test and post-test scores (56 vs 82, p=0,000) as well as the average differences in each of the high schools, namely 58 vs 88 (SMAN 2); 50 vs 82 (SMAN 3); 52 vs 78 (SMAN 4); 64 vs 80 (SMAN 7). As many as 80% of students (32) experienced an increase in knowledge, and 20% did not show an increase in knowledge. This shows that this dedication activity can significantly increase students' knowledge about SADARI methods.
