Background: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the role of health education among young adolescents, regarding their level of knowledge about the HPV and the acceptance of the HPV vaccination, with the aim of increasing vaccination coverage, in Trikala city, mainland of Greece. Methods: This study included high school students from all public and private schools of Trikala city. Questionnaires related to knowledge regarding the HPV infection and HPV vaccination were administered in three phases. In the first phase of the study, the questionnaires were completed by the entire study population. During the second and third phases, the completion of the questionnaires concerned only the population that received the intervention (interactive seminars). The second and third phase questionnaires were completed immediately after the interactive seminar and three months later, respectively. The statistical analysis of the results was performed using IBM SPSS 20.0 statistical program. Results: A total of 434 female students completed the questionnaire (response rate 76.26%). Most participants (66.6%) were females. The questionnaires evaluated the respondents’ awareness of the HPV infection. The results show that the percentage of the participants who stated that they “do not know” what HPV is decreased from 44.4% (first phase), to 1.6% (second phase), and 8.1% (third phase). Similarly, the willingness to accept the HPV vaccine increased from 71% (first phase), to 89.1% (second phase), and 83.5% (third phase). Conclusions: The present study shows that targeted interactive informational interventions in the school environment leads to a statistically significant increase in both the level of knowledge about HPV and the willingness of young adolescent students to be vaccinated against cervical cancer.

Most participants (66.6%) were girls. From the final analysis of the results we observed a rapid change in the level of awareness about the HPV virus, between the three phases of the study. The percentage of the participants who stated that they "do not know" what HPV is, decreased from 44.4%, before the informative interactive intervention in students (first phase), to1.6% and 8.1%immediately after the intervention (second phase) and 3 months later (third phase), respectively.

  Abstract Background : Cardiac arrests are the leading cause of death outside the hospital and in the hospital. Previous research has shown that as many as 70% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) occur at home. The outcome of the OHCA was poor, only 10.8% of adult victims with non-traumatic cardiac arrest who had received resuscitation efforts from the emergency medical service (EMS) were able to survive until hospital. In everyday life, it is often found that someone suddenly loses consciousness or finds a victim on the street. To deal with this, what has to be done is to provide Basic Life Support (BLS). The provision of information can be started from the school age so that they can easily practice and share information on handling BLS on lay people with their families. Objective: Seeing the effect of providing basic life support (BLS) health education to the community through videos on the level of knowledge of high school children (SMA) in Pontianak city. Methods: This type of research is quantitative research, using a quasi-experimental research design in the form of pre-test and post-test without control. Audiovisual media is effective in increasing the knowledge and skills of respondents. Several studies have stated that self-directed videos can improve the knowledge, attitudes and skills of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in high school students. This research was conducted using the method of providing general BLS health education to high school students in Pontianak City. Result: After measuring using a questionnaire, the results of the Wilcoxon test showed a difference in knowledge between pre-test and post-test with a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05). Conclusion: There was a significant influence on the provision of basic life support (BLS) health education for lay people through video on the level of knowledge of high school children in Pontianak City.   Keywords: Basic life support, health education, video, level of knowledge.

Although the rate of sexual intercourse among adolescents has increased in Asian countries, including Korea, many sexually active adolescents still do not use contraception. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for contraceptive nonuse among adolescents using decision tree analysis of the 2018 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey data from 2,460 high school students who had an experience of sexual intercourse. The findings indicated that the highest risk group who did not use contraception during sexual intercourse did not receive sexual health education in school and was involved in habitual or purposeful drug use. The experience of ever receiving treatment due to violence and the experience of sexual intercourse after drinking were also identified as risk factors for contraceptive nonuse. To encourage contraceptive use, development of standard sexual health education, counseling, and educational intervention intended to prevent risky behaviors is needed.
