Health Information Seeking Behaviour among Teenagers Sri Lanka

In the contemporary era characterized by technological advancements, teenagers are displaying a growing inclination towards acquiring access to health-related information, which is crucial for teenagers to make informed decisions on their overall health and well-being. The findings indicate that the Internet is the primary source of health information, followed by kin and acquaintances, mass media, and medical practitioners among teenagers in Sri Lanka. Gender is a significant factor, as males prefer utilizing mass media and the internet, whilst females tend to rely more on medical practitioners, kinship networks, and friends. Education has a significant impact on teenagers’ health information-seeking behaviour; low-education teenagers depend more on kin and acquaintances, while higher-education teenagers are more inclined to utilize the Internet. Moreover, highly physically active teenagers rely on kin and acquaintances, while less active tend to rely on the Internet. The findings of the multinomial regression analysis emphasize that teenagers mostly rely on the Internet and medical experts in Sri Lanka. Education, perceived severity of health conditions, and health efficacy have an impact on these behaviours. This study adds to the body of knowledge regarding the information-seeking behaviours of teenagers, offering significant insights that can inform the progress of customized health promotion strategies and culturally appropriate digital health communication.

“What's Something You've Heard About Sex, But Are Unsure If It's True?”: Assessing Middle and High School Students' Sex Education Questions

PurposeComprehensive sex education (CSE) encourages safer sex behavior for teens and young adults. However, young people recognize a gap between sex education as taught in the classroom and the reality of their sexual experiences. Thus, CSE should take into account the perspectives of its target population. MethodsThe current project assesses young people's sexual uncertainties by analyzing open-ended responses that were anonymously submitted during in-person sex education sessions. These education programs were administered in middle and high schools in New York State by facilitators from Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic, Inc. The authors analyzed 1,335 responses from a racially diverse sample of students between the ages of 10 and 21, with 75% of participants between 15 and 17 years old. ResultsUsing content analysis, the authors identified 49 recurring content codes in participants' responses, which were organized into 16 categories. Most responses centered around pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, and how to prevent these outcomes. However, responses also highlighted topics that are not always covered with nuance and transparency, if at all, in sex education (e.g., withdrawal, effectiveness of condoms and other contraception, anal and oral sex). Additionally, gender analyses indicated that girls made greater reference to pain, while boys made greater reference to pleasure, which has implications for girls' development of a positive sexuality. DiscussionThese results should be interpreted with a social equity lens to inform the development of needs-driven, target-based CSE programming.

The Information Behavior of African American Teens

Research on the information-seeking behavior of teens has produced numerous articles over the past decade. Although a good number of research articles list sociocultural factors, such as identity, as playing a critical role in teen’s information-seeking behavior, very few explicitly cover racial identity. The goal of this study is to examine the everyday life information-seeking behavior of African American teens, using previously applied information-seeking models. Though African American teens are not alone in their ethnic experience, they are unique in that decades of systemic racism and inequality impacts their academic standing. The literature review examines research on the everyday life information-seeking (ELIS) behavior of teens, sources of teen information acquisition, modes of information-seeking, and factors that impact teen information-seeking behavior. Additionally, limited existing research on the information behavior of African American communities is reviewed. The findings are that the existing information-seeking behavior research has noticeable contradictory results in regard to African American communities. This mixed-method study will use observations, interviews, and online surveys of African American teens and librarians. The findings will be compared to previous teen information behavior research to see if and how African American teens’ information-seeking behavior is impacted by socio-cultural factors such as cultural beliefs, norms, and institutional barriers. This research would assist in clarifying the information behavior of African American youth and potentially influence information literacy education to be more inclusive and culturally responsive, and thus more impactful in lifelong learning for all youth.

PRINCIPLES AND APPROACHES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL CORRECTION OF VICTIM BEHAVIOR OF ADOLESCENTS ON THE INTERNET

This article examines the problem of victim behavior of modern teenagers on the Global Internet, which has a significant negative impact on their life and health, causing dangerous situations. Ukrainian researchers are actively studying victim behavior on the Internet, including online bullying, cybercrime, and other forms of electronic violence. They focus on the causes, consequences, and prevention strategies of these phenomena. The application of methodological approaches makes it possible to determine the problems of victimization of adolescents in social networks, to develop a strategy for solving them, and to create technological mechanisms for correcting the victim behavior of adolescents on the Internet. The article examines the approaches to the correction of adolescent victim behavior: axiological, systemic-personal, approach to the development of critical thinking, activity approach, health preservation approach and integrative approach. The axiological approach involves directing correctional work towards universal human values, a valuable attitude towards subjects of correction, and humane communication. The system-personal approach uses the individual resources of adolescents to achieve success in correcting their victim behavior. It is focused on the study of the individual as a subject of social security, its motivational relations, and social connections. The development of critical thinking involves the formation of teenagers' skills of independent judgment, working with information, and protection from negative influence on the Internet. The action-based approach aims to arm teenagers with the knowledge that they gain through hands-on activities and includes learning about victim behavior, cyberbullying, healthy lifestyles, and ways to counter the risks. Each of these approaches has its conceptual foundations and contributes to the effective correction of the victim behavior of adolescents on the Internet.
 The proposed article considers the principles of organizing correctional work regarding the victim behavior of teenagers on the Internet, based on the analysis of scientific and psychological-pedagogical literature: humanization, preemptiveness, social hardening, centering, health preservation, and integrativeness

Baby Boom amidst Covid-19 Pandemic: of Unwilling Fathers, Painful Motherhood and Poverty in Ozuitem Rural Community, Southeast Nigeria

This study interrogates the socio-economic outcomes of the COVID-19 lockdown especially the unexamined theme of the baby boom and unrestrained sexual behavior of teenagers in Ozuitem rural community, Abia State southeast Nigeria. It contends that although the lockdown restricted movements by keeping nearly everybody at home, it inadvertently provided opportunities for the predictably idle teenagers to grow their sexual appetite and experiment with their bodies. This yielded unwilling fathers and painful motherhood. With thirty-five (35) teenage mothers and a colony of male partners as of December 29, 2020, what appeared as a sex bazaar in a sleepy rural community clearly put UNICEF’s prediction of a massive baby boom for Africa between now and 2050 in sharper perspective. Using an admixture of oral interviews, participant-observer method and secondary sources, the study yielded curious and bizarre outcomes particularly the demography of the unwilling fathers, inappropriate rural perceptions and unpalatable insight into the future of the community and the wider society. To achieve this, newspapers, interviews, archival materials and other extant secondary sources have been used for data collection, analysis and the interpretation of results. The paper employs the qualitative method of analysis.

Association between eating habits during adolescence and gestational diabetes: data from the Japan environment and children's study.

It is difficult to change pre-pregnancy eating habits, yet establishing healthy eating habits before pregnancy is important for preventing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). This study aimed to examine whether the weight-loss behavior of avoiding between-meal and midnight snacking in teenagers is associated with a reduction in the risk of subsequent GDM. We used a dataset (jecs-an-20,180,131) from a nationwide, prospective birth cohort study, the Japan Environment and Children's Study (JECS). We included 89,227 (85.7% of the total) mother-infant pairs with live births. Participants in their second or third trimester were asked to report their weight-loss behavior during their teenage years. The prevalence of GDM was investigated. Differences in maternal characteristics were examined using chi-square tests. Crude and adjusted logistic regression models were constructed to assess the associations of various maternal characteristics with the weight-loss behavior of avoiding between-meal and midnight snacking during teenage years. A total of 2,066 (2.3%) participants had GDM. Weight-loss behavior in teenagers was associated with a decreased risk of GDM. Among participants with normal weight or overweight prior to pregnancy, the adjusted odds ratios were 0.79 (95% confidence interval, 0.70-0.89) and 0.82 (95% confidence interval, 0.69-0.98), respectively. The results suggest that teenage weight-loss behaviors, such as avoiding between-meal and midnight snacking, are associated with a decreased risk of developing GDM.

Executive Functioning as a Predictor of Adverse Driving Outcomes in Teen Drivers With ADHD

Objective: The present study examined the association between executive functioning (EF) and risky driving behaviors in teens with ADHD. Method: Teens diagnosed with ADHD (n = 179; Mage = 17.4 years) completed two 15-min drives in a fixed-base driving simulator. EF was assessed using parent- and self-report Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Functioning (BRIEF-2), a temporal reproduction task, and a Go/No-Go task (GNG). Driving outcomes included known predictors of crashes: count of long (>2 s) off-road glances, standard deviation (SD) of lane position (SDLP), mean speed, and SD speed. Generalized linear mixed models, controlling for intelligence and driving experience, were conducted. Results: Higher rates of GNG commission errors predicted higher rates of long off-road glances. Lower parent-rated EF and increased rates of GNG omission errors predicted SDLP. Higher rates of GNG commission errors also predicted faster average driving speed. Conclusion: Heterogeneity in EF is associated with differences in teen ADHD risky driving behaviors.

Relationship Between Knowledge Level and Family Rules with Adolescent Risk Behavior

Health risk behavior emerges due to risk factors within adolescents, family factors, and external factors outside the family. Poor knowledge about risk behavior and parental control may cause adolescents to develop risky behaviors that affect their health. This study aimed to identify the relationship between family factors and knowledge of adolescent risk behavior. It is a cross-sectional study conducted on 271 adolescents aged 17–25 years in Central Java from April to November 2021, taken by random sampling. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test with a meaning level of 95%. Results show no relationship between knowledge level and adolescent risk behavior (p=0.665), and there was a relationship between family rules and adolescent risk behavior (p=0.001). Family rules significantly prevent adolescent risk behavior; hence, parents must apply family rules to limit teenage behavior, especially in opposite-sex relationships, to avoid sexual risk behavior.
