Energy Drink Consumption

This study examined the association between energy drink consumption and substance use among adolescents and tested whether sex and/or grade level (i.e., middle vs. high school) moderate the association. Data were derived from the 2017 Ontario Student Drug Use and Health Survey, a representative survey of students in 7th to 12th grade. Analyses included 10,662 students who self-reported information on energy drink consumption and substance use. Poisson regression models were used with adjustments for important covariates. Energy drink consumption was associated with tobacco cigarette smoking (incidence rate ratio (IRR): 3.74; 95% confidence interval (CI): 3.22–4.35), cannabis use (IRR: 2.90; 95% CI: 2.53–3.32), binge drinking (IRR: 2.46; 95% CI: 2.05–2.96), opioid use (IRR: 2.23; 95% CI: 1.85–2.68), and alcohol use (IRR: 1.31; 95% CI: 1.26–1.36). The associations of energy drink consumption with tobacco cigarette smoking, cannabis use, and alcohol consumption were modified by grade level (two-way interaction terms p < 0.05). The association between energy drink consumption and substance use was generally much stronger among middle school students compared with high school students. The findings suggest that middle school students may be more vulnerable to the negative effects of energy drinks in relation with substance use.

This work aimed to evaluate the perception of high school students about the importance of mathematics as well as analyze the teaching methodology that they play to be more efficient in the process of teaching learning. The research was carried out in the month of March 2019, at the Escola Estadual João Paulo I - Escola Plena, in the city of Paranaíta, MT, through the application of a questionnaire with 1st, 2nd and 3rd year high school students. 111 interviewed. The questions were about taste for math discipline, ease of learning content, how differentiated classes help in learning, what resources aid most in learning, whether discipline is important, and how it can help students change their Living conditions. We can conclude that the high school students of E. E. João Paul I like math and recognize their importance both for day-to-day use and for the future. Although students have preferences for classes outside the school context, they are aware that the theory is also important for their learning.

The research intends to investigate the body mass index, the self-weight perception and the intention of changing the weight in teenagers, from Timisoara, Romania. The data sample was made of 243 students of 11-18 years old: 37.9% in middle school and 62.1% in high school; 56.4% girls and 43.6% boys. The manner of work was a cross-sectional study, study case type. The results show that in middle/high school there are: underweight 39.8%/22.9%, normal weight 51.1% and overweight and obese, 9.1%/8.3, with a significant difference between the 2 age groups, the difference being very small. 62.2% of middle school students and 51.7% of the ones in high school appreciate their own weight as having the normal value. 24.4% of the middle school students and 32.4% of high school students consider that that they have a weight over the normal value, and at 15-18 years old, girls perceive weight as being significantly higher than boys.

Professional Groups

In a survey of rock music preferences and views on themes about homicide, satanism, and suicide (HSS), 694 middle and high school students were administered a questionnaire of structured and open-ended questions. Nine percent of the middle school students, 17 percent of the rural and 24 percent of the urban high school students were HSS rock fans. Three-fourths of these fans were males and nearly all were white. HSS fans more often claimed to know all the lyrics of their favorite songs than the non-HSS rock fans. HSS fans more often said young children should be permitted to listen to rock music with destructive themes and fewer of them believed that adolscents might commit murder or suicide after having listened to such songs. A large proportion of the students share the concern of adult citizens and professional groups about destructive lyrics in rock music and their effects.

Media Literacy Education

The subject of media literacy among adolescents is particularly relevant due to the rapid dissemination of information online, the lack of media literacy education in secondary curricula on Long Island, New York, and the prevalence of social media in the twenty-first century. This study looks at the effect of COVID-19 misinformation on the believability, level of concern, and mood of high school and middle school students on Long Island, New York in 2021. This study included high school and middle school students from four Long Island school districts. Students were given a survey that included three misinformation sources, a concern level scale, and a mood scale. As a result of this investigation, a comparative analysis of student data was compiled. While middle school students had higher believability rates than high school students, resulting in negative mood changes and high concern levels, high school students also demonstrated high levels of believability of the COVID-19 misinformation, resulting in negative mood changes and high concern levels. Early adolescent media literacy education is critical to avoiding the unpleasant mood changes and increased concern levels caused by the high believability of COVID-19 misinformation. This study demonstrates that, just as we discovered during the pandemic how critical it is to stop virus transmission, it is also critical to stop the spread of misinformation about COVID-19. Both put people in danger. Combating the negative effects of COVID-19 misinformation necessitates media literacy education.
