The International Journal Of Alcohol And Drug Research, 3(3), 219 – 225. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.7895/ijadr.v3i3.152Aims: To examine the trends in and the factors associated with the use of alcohol among high school students during the period from 2003 to 2009 in southern Thailand.Design: School-based biannual cross-sectional surveys. A self–administered, voluntary and anonymous questionnaire was used to collect data on current alcohol drinking and demographic variables. The time trends were evaluated using a Chi-squared test for trend. The factors associated with alcohol consumption were examined by survey logistic regression models.Setting: High school student sample in southern Thailand.Participants: Grade 7, 9 and 11 students. The numbers of students sampled were 10,972, 9,005, 6,097 and 5,573 in 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2009, respectively.Measures: The association of the use of alcohol over a 30-day period with year of survey and demographic variables including gender, school level, school location, GPA and religion.Findings: Prevalence of the use of alcohol over a 30-day period in grade 11 students tended to increase in males (p-value < 0.001) with no change in females, but the trends of drinking in younger students (grades 7 and 9) decreased over the years in both genders (p-value < 0.001). Male gender (OR 2.16, 95% CI 1.91–2.44), higher school years (grade 9: OR 2.66, 95% CI 2.35–3.01 and grade 11: OR 2.93, 95% CI 2.41–3.55), Buddhism (OR 3.50, 95% CI 2.65–4.64) and low school record (OR 1.51, 95% CI 1.30–1.75) were variables associated with alcohol consumption.Conclusions: The prevalence of young drinkers decreased over the years covered in this study, although the prevalence among senior high school students increased. Specific interventions should be designed and integrated in school activities to reduce the prevalence of alcohol consumption.

Abstract Introduction According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), 3 out of 10 adolescents report that they suffer violence in dating. In the Mexican case, 76% of adolescents between 15 and 17 years have suffered 17% sexual and 15% physical psychological violence. In 2019, Veracruz registered in the first place of feminicide in Mexico with a rate of 3.44 per 100 thousand women Methods A cross-sectional, prospective, observational and analytical study was carried out from December to February 2020. Middle-high school students from the Veracruz-Boca del Río region were included, who had a dating relationship and were excluded those who did not accept to participate. The CADRI test was applied to quantify “violence committed and victimization in dating”. Results 741 students were included. There was a prevalence of violence committed of 86.2% and victimization of 89.2%. Being a woman, having active sex life, relationships over 12 months, living in a rural area, having a history of physical, psychological and sexual violence in previous relationships, daily life and in your family were the main factors associated with the violence committed, highlighting physical violence in previous relationships (OR 7.36 95% CI 1.8-31.6) (p &lt; 0.05). With regard to victimization, the associated factors were being a woman, having a relationship greater than 12 months, having suffered physical, psychological and sexual violence in the family, daily life and previous relationships, the main one being psychological violence (OR 7.1 IC95 % 2.5-19.8) in previous relationships, as well as sexual violence in everyday life (OR 6.0 IC95% 1.4-25.1) (p &lt; 0.05.) Conclusions The violence generated and victimization share associated factors, the most important being women, having a history of physical, psychological and sexual violence in the family, daily life and previous relationships. Key messages Women suffer more aggressions at different stages of their lives, which may increase the risk to tolerate aggressions or be more aggressive or suffer mental health problems. We must study if the violence generated by women is a response to a previous aggression.

This study aimed to determine the factors associated with the avoidance of dental preventive care in high school students and their parents in the framework of The Youth and Parents Risk Factor Behavior Survey in Slovakia, the ongoing cross-sectional school-based survey of students and their parents or legal representatives. The data were collected using two separate standardized questionnaires: (i) the questionnaire for students (n = 515) and (ii) the questionnaire for parents (n = 681). The study group included 57 high school students (54.4% males) who did not visit the dentist for preventive care in the previous year. The control group included 458 students (35.8% males) who visited a dentist for preventive care at least once in the previous year. A significantly higher number of males (54.4%), older adolescents, and young adults (21.8%; 20.0%) were not visiting dental preventive care regularly. Incomplete family (56.1%), stressful situations at home (17.5%), and feeling unwell were the factors contributing to the avoidance of dental preventive care. More than 34.5% of adolescents and young adults were not visiting either dental preventive care or pediatric preventive care (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 5.14; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.40, 10.99). Children of divorced mothers and mothers with household income lower than EUR 900 had significantly higher dental care avoidance in bivariate analysis. A significantly higher percentage of fathers from the exposed group were not visiting dental preventive care regularly (47.8%, p < 0.05). The results of the study can be used as an educational intervention step focusing on the parental influence on adolescent and young adults’ behavior and as a challenge for the improvement of dental preventive care in older adolescents and young adults.

AbstractObjectivesThe study aimed to examine factors associated with past 30 days waterpipe use among high school students in Jakarta, Indonesia.MethodsWe surveyed a multistage cluster random sample of 1,318 students of grade 10th and 11th from 14 schools in Jakarta. Multiple logistic regressions were employed to examine the association between past 30 days waterpipe use with sociodemographic characteristics, cigarettes smoking status, parental and peer use, availability and affordability.ResultsOf 1,318 participants, 3.3% of female and 8.4% of male currently smoked waterpipe. Multivariate analysis revealed that current waterpipe use was significantly associated with family use (AOR: 4.844, 95% CI: 1.225–19.151), friend use (AOR: 2.554, 95% CI: 1.424–4.582), and availability (AOR: 2.143, 95% CI: 1.127–4.076). Being current smokers were six times more likely (AOR: 6.055, 95% CI: 3.123–11.739) to use waterpipe in the past 30 days.ConclusionsThe finding suggests that smoking by a family member, friends, use of conventional cigarettes, and availability are significantly associated with increased probability of current waterpipe used among adolescents.
