BACKGROUND Adolescence is a risky stage for internet addiction and social phobia. Internet addiction is a major public health problem, especially among adolescents. OBJECTIVE The study was conducted to determine the frequency of internet addiction and social phobia, to evaluate the relationship between them among high school students in Eskişehir. METHODS The study is a cross-sectional study conducted on high school students studying in Eskişehir during the 2017-2018 academic year. In the study, two stage cluster sampling method was used according to settlement units and school types. The study group consisted of 3353 students who are found in selected schools for sampling and agreed to participate in the study. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the independent variables associated with social phobia and internet addiction. RESULTS In the study, the prevalence rates of internet addiction, social phobia, internet addiction and social phobia among the students was 13.8%, 8.7% and 2.7% respectively. Logistic regression analysis shows that internet addiction can be predicted by family type, tool for connecting to internet, age of first internet use, time to access the internet after waking up in the morning, total duration of internet use, self-limitation on the use of the internet and social phobia. CONCLUSIONS Internet addiction and social phobia are important health problems which are found to be related to each other in adolescents. Prevention and intervention studies should be planned about social phobia and internet addiction. CLINICALTRIAL 80558721/G-312

Abstract Background: As the number of Internet users around the world increases, so does the dependency on the Internet. In adolescents this dependence interferes with sleep, which is important for the development of their psychophysiological capabilities. However, few large-scale surveys have examined the relationship between internet addiction (IA) and sleep disturbance in detail using standardized questionnaires. This study aimed to determine the relationship between sleep disturbance in adolescents and IA according to the categories of the Young Diagnostic Questionnaire (YDQ) through a complete survey of one prefecture in Japan. Methods: In 2016, a self-administered questionnaire was used to survey high school students (n=10,405) in all 54 daytime high schools in one prefecture. In this study, “sleep disturbance” was defined as achieving over 5.5 points on the Japanese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. IA was evaluated using the YDQ: “IA,” when 5 of the 8 YDQ items were applied; “at-risk,” when either 3 or 4 YDQ items were applied; and “non-IA,” when less than 2 YDQ items were applied. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed, with sleep disturbance as the dependent variable, IA as the explanatory variable, and adjustments made for 8 items, including the frequency of skipped meals. Results: High YDQ scores were associated with high prevalence rates of sleep disturbance in both male and female participants; the higher the score, higher was the rate. On multiple logistic regression analysis for both male and female participants, higher YDQ scores showed higher adjusted odds ratios for sleep disturbances. Conclusions: For high school students within one prefecture in Japan, higher YDQ scores, which indicate internet dependency, were significantly related to sleep disturbance, suggesting that the likelihood of sleep disturbance increases with YDQ scores.

This article presents data obtained from a survey of high school students in Brownsville, Texas. Almost half of the students reported having seen other students carry knives at school, roughly 1 in 10 reported having seen other students carry guns at school, and more than 1 in 5 reported being fearful of weapon-associated victimization at school. Logistic regression analyses indicate that age, gender, seeing other students carry weapons, and involvement with student clubs/organizations significantly affect fear of weapon-associated victimization. Using language spoken at home as a measure of acculturation, it was also determined that immigrant juveniles are more fearful of weaponassociated victimization than nonimmigrant juveniles. The theoretical and policy implications of the findings are discussed.

Abstract Introduction The present study aimed to examine the association between chronotype, sleep duration, weekend catch-up sleep (CUS) duration, and depression among Korean high school students. Methods A total of 8,565 high school students who were analyzed from 15 nationwide districts in South Korea completed an online self-report questionnaire. Depressive mood was assessed using the Korean version of the Beck Depression Inventory. The following sleep characteristics were assessed: weekday and weekend sleep durations, weekend CUS duration, chronotype, perceived sufficiency of sleep, self-reported snoring and sleep apnea, daytime sleepiness, and sleep environment. Age, sex, body mass index, number of private classes, and proneness to internet addiction were also measured. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to compute odds ratios for the association between depression and sleep characteristics, after controlling for relevant covariates. Results The prevalence of depression (BDI ≥ 16) was 1,794 (20.9%). In the analyses of multivariate logistic regression, the late chronotype (odds ratio [OR], 1.71; 95% CI, 1.47-1.99), female (OR, 2.24; 95% CI, 1.99-2.53), underweight (OR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.02-1.57) and obesity (OR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.13-1.75), weekday sleep duration (OR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.81-0.91), weekend CUS duration ≥ 2 hours (OR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.55-0.85), ESS (OR, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.07-1.10), much (OR, 2.15; 95% CI, 1.63-2.84) and insufficient (OR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.46-2.01) perceived sleep, snoring (OR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.11-1.46) and witnessed apnea (OR, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.75-2.52), increased internet addiction (OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.05-1.06), high number of private education (OR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.60-0.95), and poor sleep environment (OR, 1.86; 95% CI, 1.56-2.21) were associated with depression. Conclusion Eveningness preference, insufficient weekday sleep duration, short weekend CUS duration, and self-reported snoring and sleep apnea were associated with an increased risk for depression.

Abstract Background The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to threaten the physical and mental health of people across the world. This study aimed to understand the psychological impact of this disease on adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD) at 1 month after the start of the outbreak in China. Methods Using the Children’s Impact of Event Scale (CRIES-13) questionnaire, we investigated the occurrence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in two groups of adolescents: MDD patients who were in continuous antidepressant therapy and healthy controls. Total scores and factor subscores were compared between the two groups and subgroups stratified by sex and school grade. Logistic regression was used to identify variables associated with high total CRIES-13 scores. Results Compared to controls (n = 107), the MDD group (n = 90) had higher total CRIES-13 scores and a higher proportion with a total score ≥ 30. They also had a lower intrusion subscore and a higher arousal subscore. In the MDD group, males and females did not differ significantly in total CRIES-13 scores or factor subscores, but junior high school students had higher avoidance subscores than senior high school students. Logistic regression showed high total CRIES-13 scores to be associated with MDD and the experience of “flashbacks” or avoidance of traumatic memories associated with COVID-19. Conclusions It is crucial to understand the psychological impact of COVID-19 on adolescents with MDD in China, especially females and junior high school students. Long-term monitoring of adolescents with a history of mental illness is required to further understand these impacts. Trial registration ChiCTR, ChiCTR2000033402, Registered 31 May 2020,

The purpose of this study was to extend the conceptualization of perceived clothing deprivation among three groups of adolescents: 161 skateboarders, 61 baseball players, and 336 general high school students. Perceived clothing deprivation, the dependent variable, was measured by two previously developed scales, Inability to Buy and Clothing Deprivation Relative to Peers. Regression analysis of self-reported economic stress indicated that the combination of lower income and increased demand was positively related to both clothing deprivation factors. Group membership was not significantly associated with Inability to Buy but was with Clothing Deprivation Relative to Peers. Both male sports groups reported greater perceived dissatisfaction than the general population of high school students. These results support the idea that perceived clothing deprivation is self-defined and peer-dependent among adolescents and support the proposition that clothing deprivation reflects primarily influence of dynamic rather than stable variables.

ABSTRAKLatar Belakang. Paparan media dapat mempengaruhi inisiasi remaja untuk merokok. Konsep literasi media (smoking media literacy [SML]) dikembangkan sebagai  strategi dalam pengendalian tembakau berbasis sekolah.Tujuan. Untuk mengetahui hubungan SML dengan status merokok siswa SMA negeri di wilayah Kecamatan Purwakarta Kabupaten Purwakarta.Metode. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain cross-sectional yang dilaksanakan pada April-Mei 2018 di Kecamatan Purwakarta Kabupaten Purwakarta. Data dikumpulkan dengan kuesioner yang diisi sendiri oleh responden yang berjumlah 310 siswa-siswi SMA negeri. Analisis multivariat dilakukan dengan uji regresi logistik ganda. Variabel yang dikontrol dalam analisis adalah jenis kelamin, pendidikan orang tua, parenting, orang terdekat yang merokok (orang tua, saudara kandung, dan teman sebaya), capaian prestasi di sekolah, depresi, self-esteem, sifat memberontak, dan sifat mencari sensasi.Hasil. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 14,2% responden yang berstatus merokok. Nilai rata-rata skor SML responden adalah 68,94 (dalam skala 100). Hasil regresi logistik ganda menunjukkan bahwa ada hubungan bermakna antara SML dengan status merokok setelah jenis kelamin, saudara yang merokok, teman sebaya yang merokok, capaian prestasi di sekolah, dan sifat memberontak dikendalikan (nilai p=0,048; CI=1,008-7,085).Kesimpulan. Pemahaman siswa SMA tentang literasi media masih rendah, dan SML berhubungan dengan status merokok siswa. ABSTRACTBackground. Media exposure is a very influential factor in the initiation of adolescents to smoke. Therefore, media literacy (smoking media literacy [SML]) was developed  as a school-based tobacco control strategy. Objective. The purpose of this research was to examine the relation of SML with the smoking status of high school students in Purwakarta Regency Method. This research used quantitative research with a cross-sectional design conducted in April-May 2018 in Purwakarta Regency. Data were collected by self-administered questionnaires from 310 students of public senior high school. Data were analyzed using logistic regression test. Statistical adjustments were made for gender, parental education, parenting, smoking status of parents, siblings, and peers, school performance, depression, self-esteem, rebellion, and sensation seeking character.Results. There were 14.2% smokers among respondents. The mean of SML score was 68.94 (on a scale of 100). The result of logistic regression showed that there was a significant correlation between SML and smoking status with adjustment by sex, the sibling who smokes, peers who smoke, school achievement, and rebelliousness (p-value=0.048; CI=1.008-7.085).Conclusions. High school students' understanding of media literacy was still low, and SML was related to students' smoking status.
