Abstract The failure to provide quality, patient-centered healthcare has been directly associated with a lack of cultural diversity within the healthcare system itself (Scherman, 2017). The present study aims to capture community perceptions related to the lack of diversity in the Oregon healthcare system in an effort to determine what steps can and should be taken to promote more culturally sensitive healthcare. A total of 767 healthcare workers, high school students, college students, and patients completed an online survey of attitudes on diversity in healthcare. The findings of these surveys have identified current attitudes on healthcare diversity, areas of discrimination and bias, and identified areas that can be changed to address the challenges associated with the lack of diversity in the healthcare system. The results can be used to advance pre-health professional programs for students and to further the diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts of health systems.

Positive Effect

The aim of the work is to identify the functionality required by mobile messengers for convenient online communication between pupils and high school students. To achieve this aim, a survey of 116 questions was developed, which adjusted to the respondent’s answers and reduced its volume in order to avoid the respondents’ fatigue and to decrease the time spent on completing the survey. An online survey of students aged 16 to 24 living in different cities of the Russian Federation was carried out. Then the information obtained was processed, and possible relations between the analysis results were found. Based on the study results, recommendations were formed to improve messengers according to the students- users’ goals and objectives. Now messengers are created mainly for the widespread use. There are already more than a hundred of them, and therefore products need to stand out in order to be competitive. One of the ways to excel is to be narrowly focused, tailored to a specific audience. Since the functionality of the messenger directly affects its popularity, the introduction and refinement of the necessary functions will have a positive effect on the number of users. The analysis shows that developers of instant messengers can improve the efficiency of using messengers by the students and, possibly, reduce the number of installed mobile applications on their devices, and, consequently, decrease the number of competitors for their target audience.

Future Career

As a dynamic transformation of the economy, companies put pressure on universities and other educational suppliers to deliver the labor force with new knowledge and skills required, to ensure their innovation and competitiveness. Because of these dynamics, students are also under pressure when they must decide about future jobs. There is also confusion in the mind of young adult that needs to bear the influence of public media, social media, online communities about the personal development in regional, national, or global environment. In this case, universities and high schools have to inform about trends and perspectives of future career and support students in their choice but they lack of communication capabilities or marketing aspects are overestimated. Our study is based on an online survey with more than 500 participants from Mures county high schools during the 2018-2019 academic year. Most of the student wants to continue their study at university 83,2 %. As a preferential channel of information about university programs students voted as very useful, university websites and meetings with representatives of faculties. The main fields students interested in are: business, engineering, informatics, medicine, public administration and law. Around 13.4% of the high school students intend to continue their study abroad. Almost half of the respondents have clear idea of study program to be chosen. Regarding the influence factors of their choice, family and acquaintances who are already university students have the higher impact rather than colleagues, friends and professors. When referring to criteria for choosing the future university, they favor the number of tax-free places and international mobility. Generally, we can say that students consider university the most important next step in their future career and they proof themselves rather independent to decide about this step. Our study also emphasizes significant levels of indecision and we will deepen our further research for better understanding of the phenomenon.

Introduction: Solution of the problem of prevention of the spread of HIV infection among adolescents and young adults is associated, inter alia, with systemic implementation of primary prevention strategies in educational establishments aimed at developing the necessary level of expertise in health risk management in students. The objective of our study was to determine the level of competence of adolescents in the field of HIV spread prevention Materials and methods: The technique of an online survey was used to establish the competence of high school students aged 15–17 living in the Nizhny Novgorod Region and to compare its level between boys and girls. Results: The level of competence was determined by four basic scales (emotional, cognitive, practical, and the scale of actions) and the additional scale of erudition. The level of general competence of the respondents was found to be high. Girls had significantly higher scores by all scales (p < 0.001) compared to boys. The erudition component was most prominent in both subgroups. The emotional component (empathy) was more important for girls. We noted differences in the significance of individual aspects of the assessed competence. Of the four priority strategies of HIV epidemic spread prevention, the respondents chose health care management and effective interaction of responsible structures as key factors in disease spread stop (р < 0.001). Conclusion: Promoting competence in HIV spread prevention among students for their effective social interaction in HIV related issues is an important outcome of preventive activities at schools. The content and forms of their implementation should facilitate students’ ability and readiness to self-protection, self-improvement, and mastering skills of predictive behaviour. Evaluating the level of competence and intensity of its components, setting priorities in choosing areas of applying efforts to reduce the risk of HIV epidemic growth can make prevention efforts more targeted.

Adolescent Perceptions

To better understand the optimal frequency of parent-adolescent alcohol-specific communication, we conducted a secondary analysis of the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse Culture of High School Survey, a 2010 nationally representative online survey of 1000 high school students. Logistic regression models assessed the relationship between alcohol-specific communication and adolescent perceptions ( binge drinking is very dangerous, drinking is cool, and getting drunk is very dangerous), adjusting for grade, sex, race, personal and peer alcohol use, and parental monitoring. Among adolescents reporting personal and peer alcohol use, a dose-response relationship existed between frequency of alcohol-specific communication and thinking binge drinking is very dangerous (often [adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 7.98; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.98-21.36], sometimes (AOR = 6.08; 95% CI = 2.36-15.69), rarely (AOR = 5.27; 95% CI = 1.95-14.26) vs never), and was also associated with decreased perceptions that drinking is cool (often [AOR = 0.22; 95% CI = 0.08-0.66), rarely vs never [AOR = 0.17; 95% CI = 0.06-0.51]); the inverse was true for never-drinkers without peer use.

The COVID-19 health emergency has brought a new and unforeseen situation in education in Mexico and around the world. This report shows the results of an online survey applied to high school (CETYS abbreviated in Spanish) and bachelor degree (TecNM abbreviated in Spanish) students at the Mérida and Tuxtla Gutiérrez campus. Out of 846 students, 501 answered the survey. Most of them live in municipal seat, some of them in rural communities 28.5 are high school students and 71.5% are bachelor degree students. 48.1% of students responded that they would not like to continue receiving classes online and 44.1% that in this modality their learning was the same as face -to- face lessons. They face organizational, technological, pedagogical and, to a lesser extent, information issues. They mainly use the WhatsApp application as well, as Microsoft Teams for synchronous work and virtual interviews, they consider it suitable for their virtual sessions. The responses to the coverage of the educational program were similar, the fifth part reached between 90 and 100%; The students showed irregularities during the setting of this educational modality and the main problem was the failure of the Internet connection, and the least was the lack of sensitivity of the teacher. Objectives: Need to obtain information on the opinion of students regarding their academic development during the school period that occurred during the Covid-19 pandemic, that would allow knowing the problems they are facing and proposing alternatives to support students Methodology:A survey was applied to undergraduate and high school students to find out their opinion regarding their problems in school development, the data were analyzed using predetermined scales and the SPSS program to determine the possible correlation between the mentioned variables. Contribution: Problems related to student performance were verified, most have their own computer and have internet service, they still do not adapt to taking virtual classes and express disapproval to continue with this form of learning, factors to be taken into consideration in the immediate future.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic that has resulted in several countries being locked down, there has been a paradigm shift in terms of learning worldwide. As a result, educational institutions in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have acted swiftly and shifted from face-to-face education to distance learning. Thus, this study investigated high school students’ perspectives on the distance learning of mathematics. The research employed a quantitative method using a developed and validated online survey. The convenience sampling consisted of 580 high school students in Al Ain. Descriptive statistical analysis of the mean and standard deviation of scores was used and then interpreted based on Gagné’s rating (1991). In general, the results showed that the students had an ambivalent view of their distance learning experience. Notably, students’ most negative perceptions were about missing the interaction with teachers and colleagues, and disapproving of the unfavourably long screen times. Furthermore, 78.3% of the participants showed no preference for choosing to study mathematics by distance learning in the future, given a choice. This study has extra relevance since the process of distance learning has become more prevalent in the UAE owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, it is imperative that educational institutions try to understand the complexity and embedded nature of distance learning, and the challenges encountered by students while they are studying mathematics in an online environment.

This study is conducted to learn about experiences and practices to cope with cyberbullying among high school students in Hanoi and to explore the association between the average time of Internet used per day among high school students in Hanoi, Vietnam, and the risk of being cyberbullied. A total of 215 students aged 13–18 years completed an online survey using respondent-driven sampling method. The experience of being cyberbullied was examined using the modified Patchin and Hinduja’s scale. The prevalence of experiencing at least one type of cyberbullying was 45.1%. The most common type of cyberbullying was being called by names/made fun of. The average daily time spent on Internet showed dose-response association with the risk of being cyberbullied. The prevalence of having experienced cyberbullying was 54% among subjects who used Internet >3 hours/day compared to 39% among those who used 1–3 hours and 30% among those who used <1 hour. In terms of practices to cope with this, most students chose to ignore it and not share information with their family or teacher. The most frequent method to overcome this problem was talking with friends (60.8%). Research shows that the prevalence of cyberbullying victimization in Hanoi was high, and student’s practices to cope with this new form of bullying were not efficient. Online time had dose-response association with risk of cyberbullying. More attention is needed to increase level of society/school awareness to prevent cyberbullying in Hanoi.

Beverage Consumption

Objective: To promote healthy beverage consumption among 9–12 grade students (ages 14–18) by means of a 4-week curriculum promoting increased awareness of drinks containing added sugar and the association between sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and health risks. Design: Quasi-experimental pre–post design. Setting: High schools in Northern California with at least 50% of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals. Method: A 4-lesson version of the Rethink Your Drink high school curriculum was piloted in three high schools in two northern California counties. Two high schools in the same area served as comparison sites. A survey of beverage-related knowledge, behaviours, perceptions and self-efficacy was administered to intervention and comparison students before and after the intervention. Focus groups with students and an online survey and semi-structured interviews with teachers were conducted following the intervention. Results: Intervention students reported significantly greater frequency of reading Nutrition Facts labels and understanding of beverage choice influences and decreased consumption of diet soda than comparison students. A decrease of 0.26 times per day in consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages relative to the comparison group was not significant. Conclusion: The intervention resulted in some positive outcomes, but improvements in targeted beverage consumption were not significant. Students and teachers want shorter, more engaging and experiential curricula that build on previous learning. Findings point to actionable recommendations for improvement of high school healthy beverage curricula and suggest the need for reinforcement using a multi-level approach.
