Background: The burden of Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs) is on the rise globally as well as in India. Tobacco use is one of the important behavioural risk factors which can be recognized and modified at a young age. Objectives: To assess tobacco use among school going adolescents and to determine the factors affecting this NCD risk factor.Methods: The study was conducted among adolescents aged 13 years to 15 years studying in class eighth to tenth from two central government schools of New Delhi district. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data from students and their parents. Data gathered from 438 students was analyzed using SPSS version 20.Results: 30 participants were found to ever use tobacco, and 25 were current users. Majority (17) ever tobacco users started using tobacco at 11 years or less. Tobacco use among family members, friends was found to be an important predictor for, ever and current tobacco use. Film actors were an important source of inspiration for tobacco use followed by family members and friends. Health education at school had a strong protective effect especially for current tobacco use.Conclusions: A decreasing age of initiation for tobacco use and a strong influence of family members were found. Greater emphasis on health education activities at school may help to decrease tobacco use among children. School based interventions involving families of students may help in controlling this behavioural risk factor.

<p>This generic qualitative study explores the perspective of Malaysian teachers regarding the constraints of the current school-based sexual and reproductive health education in secondary schools of Klang-Valley Malaysia. For this study, in-depth interviews were conducted with twenty eight science teachers of government schools. The majority of participants named the teaching strategy and capacity of teachers, the lack of co-operation from the school and parents, limited resources in teaching and students themselves as some of the challenges. We concluded that if sexual health education is to be effective, it needs to be provided by people who have some specialized training. The teachers should be trained to teach sexual reproductive health education classes at the basic level, and in-service training for teachers already in the field should be intensified. Local adaptation to culture, language, religion, and so forth is often necessary.</p>

This study examined the prevalence of truancy and its associated factors among 1500 school-going adolescents using the 2015 Mozambique Global School-based Student Health Survey data. The association was assessed using bivariate (Chi square) and multivariate (logistic regression) analysis. The prevalence of truancy was 36.6% (38.4% of males and 35.1% of females). It was found that adolescents aged 15 years and older [OR=1.460,95% CI=1.153,1.848], experiencing hunger [OR=1.613 95% CI= 1.051,2.475], current tobacco use [OR=1.613 95%CI=1.051,2.475], being bullied [OR=1.314, 95% CI=1.027,1.681], facing an attack, smoking [OR= 1.893, 95% CI=1.293,2.771], having 1-2 close friends [OR=1.656, 95% CI=1.276,2.14], and feeling lonely [OR=1.295, 95% CI=1.019,1.646] were the factors that predisposed adolescents to truant behaviour. Conversely, parental supervision [OR=0.53, 95% CI=0.232,0.791] was a protective factor against truancy. There is the need to design school-based interventions aimed at reducing truancy in Mozambique by tackling the predisposing factors and encouraging the protective factors.

Children with chronic medical conditions are at greater risk for experiencing challenges with academic, physical, and social functioning than their healthy peers. Thus, they may need ongoing monitoring and assessment to help determine the need for school-based interventions and supports. This chapter discusses considerations for school-based assessment and monitoring of progress by professionals working with students with chronic medical conditions. Approaches to assessment are discussed, including assessment methodology, goals, and domains. Specific considerations for selecting a test battery and making necessary modification to testing procedures, as well as factors affecting interpretation of results, are included. Finally, the chapter includes a discussion of goals and methods for monitoring progress after the initial assessment and using this information to guide ongoing intervention strategies.

This article discusses the findings of Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) that were conducted as a formative assessment for Project MYTRI (Mobilizing Youth for Tobacco Related Initiatives in India), a randomized, multicomponent, school-based trial to prevent and control tobacco use among youth in India. Forty-eight FGDs were conducted with students ( N = 435) in sixth and eighth grades in six schools in Delhi, India. Key findings include: (a) students in government schools reported as “consumers” of tobacco, whereas students in private schools reported as “commentators”; (b) parents and peers have a strong influence on youth tobacco use; (c) chewing gutkha is considered less harmful and more accessible than smoking cigarettes; (d) schools are not promoting tobacco control activities; and (e) students were enthusiastic about the role government should play in tobacco control. These findings are being used to develop a comprehensive intervention program to prevent and control tobacco use among Indian youth.
