A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of alcohol consumption among students at senior high school Number 3 at An Nhon district, BinhDinh province in 2015. The results showed that the percentage of having ever consumed alcohol and having consumed alcohol during the past 30 days was 58.7% (95% [CI] 53.7% - 63.7%), and 42% (95%[CI] 37% - 47%), respectively. The proportion of frequent drinking was 3.2% (95% CI 1.7% - 5.6%), regular drinking was 5.9% (95% [CI]3.7%-8%), and of binge drinking was 6.4% (95% [CI] 3.9% - 8.9%). The median of number of drinks taking in one occasion was 3, with the inter-quartile range of 1 - 5. Male having drinking friends and being invited to drink by friends were factors associated with alcohol consumption, regular drinking, and binge drinking. The amount of money given by family was a related factor to binge drinking, the more money the higher chance of binge. Parents should pay attention to children’s friends, especially the ones drinking alcohol. It is necessary to introduce to senior high school students a health education program about harmful effects of alcohol drinking

Introduction: Conjunctivitis is a common health problem in Nepal. It is inflammation of conjunctiva presenting as red eye. It is a communicable eye disease. Health education to the students and proper management can help spread of the disease. Knowledge of conjunctivitis among school students will help in prevention of the disease. So the study was carried out to assess the knowledge of conjunctivitis among high school students in Pokhara valley of Western Nepal. Materials/ Methods: A school based cross sectional study was performed among six government schools in western Nepal from May 2019 to June 2019. Students from grade eight, nine and ten were included in the study. Data was collected using structured questionnaire including demographic data, knowledge regarding sign symptoms of conjunctivitis, treatment, prevention, complication of conjunctivitis. Data was analysed using SPSS version 11.6. Result: A total of 523 students were included in the study. The mean age of the students was 14.7 ± 1.2 years with majority of females (53%). Nearly 2/3rd of the students (61.6%) had heard of conjunctivitis. Majority of the students (87.4%) of the students mentioned that it is communicable while 80.3% of the students correctly mentioned its etiology. Majority of the students (97.9%) mentioned that it is curable with treatment as first option (97.5%). Majority of the students (98.3%) correctly responded to the preventive measures but majority of the students (83.2%) wrongly mentioned mode of transmission. Conclusion: Secondary school students in Western Nepal have poor knowledge of conjunctivitis. Appropriate eye health education should be given to school students to prevent rapid spread of infective conjunctivitis.
