“…It was also observed that adolescents originating from poorer urban areas start sexual activity at an earlier age (10). Sexually transmitted infections are serious public health problem worldwide, particularly af-fecting young people, this is confirmed by the data -70% of patients with sexually transmitted infections are aged between 15 and 24 years (3). Reducing risky sexual behavior and sexual education that provides correct information about reproductive health protection can reduce the incidence of sexually transmitted infections as well as to reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies among adolescents (12).…”

The aim of the work is to assess vulnerability degree of reproductive health in adolescent population in Serbia by analyzing their sexual behavior. The paper is based on data from a National health survey of the population in Serbia in 2013 (without Kosovo and Metohija region), conducted by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Serbia. For the purposes of this study, the data used are referred to households and population of age 15 and over, so that the final number for analysis is a sample of 1722 respondents aged 15-24. The study included demographic characteristics of respondents (age, gender, settlement type, region) and the characteristics of reproductive health: sexual behavior, use of contraceptive protection, knowledge and attitudes towards HIV, protection of reproductive health. χ2 test was applied for testing differences in frequency of categorical variables. All results with a probability that equals to or is less than 5% (p≤0.05) are considered statistically significant. Among the respondents, there were more than half (53.5%) of sexually active adolescents. The highest percentage of them- 16.6% responded that they had first sexual intercourse at the age of 17. 53.4% of adolescents had sexual intercourse with one partner, 26.4% of respondents had sexual intercourse with two or more partners. The most commonly used contraceptive method was interrupted intercourse (coitus interruptus) with 34.7% of respondents.

“…In our study, 35.2% students reported that they were involved in a fight in or around school and 15.2% of them reported that they were involved in a fight where they could get injured. Studies have demonstrated that 24.5%–50.2% students are involved a fight in or around the school [ 9 – 11 , 20 , 21 ], and studies conducted in the United States and Brazil have found this frequency to be between 6.5% and 33.0% [ 1 , 13 , 15 , 16 , 22 ]. The results of our study and those of other studies conducted in our country are much higher than those of international studies.…”

“…The desensitization of students about violence in the school or their different perceptions about the concept of feeling secure may reveal this consequence. Previous studies have revealed a relationship between feeling insecure and violence [ 22 , 24 ]. It has been reported that students assuming school as insecure because of violence in the school cause their absence unless it is compulsory [ 39 ].…”

OBJECTIVE:The aim of the study was to determine the frequency of violence-related behaviors and related factors at school or school environment among high school students educated in the semirural areas of Eskisehir.METHODS:This was a cross-sectional study. The sample comprised 1465 high school students. Data were collected using a questionnaire that included questions regarding sociodemographic characteristics and the 2013 survey questions of the “Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System” of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.RESULTS:It was found that 8.5% of students exhibited violent behaviors at school or school environment. According to multiple logistic regression analysis, sex, father’s employment status, smoking, alcohol use, and feeling unsafe were effective independent variables on violence.CONCLUSION:Students had a high rate of violence-related behaviors at school or school environment. Community-based public health interventions are required to solve this problem.

“…At the same time, there are gender differences in the incidence as well type of injuries among adolescents [ 14 – 17 ]. While male adolescents have higher overall rates of injuries of all types than their female peers [ 1 , 18 , 19 ], female adolescents show a higher incidence in self-inflicted injuries [ 11 , 20 – 23 ]. Moreover, male adolescents are prone to violent injuries because of prevalent risk behaviors such as competitive sports and alcohol consumption [ 16 , 24 ].…”

Injuries prior and subsequent to index poisoning with medication among adolescents: a national study based on Norwegian patient registry

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BackgroundAdolescents treated for self-poisoning with medication have a high prevalence of mental health problems and constitute a high-risk population for self-harm repetition. However, little is known about whether this population is also prone to injuries of other forms.MethodsData were extracted from the Norwegian Patient Registry to include all incidents of treated injuries in adolescents aged 10–19 years who were treated for self-poisoning with medication during 2008–2011. This longitudinal approach allowed for the inclusion of injuries of various forms both before and after the index poisoning with medication. Gender differences and associations of injuries with recorded deliberate self-harm or psychiatric comorbidity at index poisoning were analysed. Forms of injury and psychiatric illnesses were coded according to the ICD-10 system.Results1497 adolescents treated for self-poisoning with medication were identified from the source database, including 1144 (76.4%) girls and 353 (23.6%) boys. For these 1497 adolescents a total of 2545 injury incidents were recorded in addition to the index poisoning incidents, consisting of 778 injury incidents taking place before the index poisoning and 1767 incidents taking place subsequently. Altogether 830 subjects (55.4%) had an injury treated either before or after the index poisoning. Injuries to the hand and wrist as well as injuries to the head, neck and throat were predominant in males. Females were more likely to repeat poisoning with medication, particularly those with psychiatric disorders.ConclusionAdolescents treated for poisoning with medication represent a high-risk population prone to both prior and subsequent injuries of other forms, and should be assessed for suicidal intent and psychiatric illness.
