“…8,22 Certain countries developed their own survey adapted from this renowned study to suit their adolescents such as the India Adolescent Health Survey and school-based surveillance system entitled CASPIAN-III Study in Iran. 23,24 Another study to measure health risk behaviors among adolescents in the United States was the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS). The sample population was high-school students aged 15 years and above.…”

Health risk behaviors and mental health problems are associated with morbidity and premature mortality among adolescents. Understanding the magnitude of the problem may improve adolescent health status. The Adolescent Health Survey was conducted to collect data on health risk behaviors among Malaysian school-going adolescents using self-administered questionnaires. A 2-stage stratified cluster sampling design was used and samplings weights were calculated to ensure representativeness to the general population. A total of 27 497 out of 30 823 school-going adolescents completed the questionnaires, yielded an 89.2% overall response rate. The methodology was robust to ensure valid estimation on the prevalence of health problems among Malaysian school-going adolescents.

Background:To validate a brief, self-reported, Teen Symptom Questionnaire–Mental Health (TSQ-M), for identifying adolescents with mental ill-health, designed for conducting epidemiological studies and clinical work in primary-care settings.Materials and Methods:In this prospective, cross-sectional study of 146 adolescents, re-cruited six rural and urban schools, the newly developed TSQ-M as the measure for validation and General Health Questionnaire-12 item (GHQ-12) as the gold standard measure were administered by independent trained raters. Tests for diagnostic accuracy and validity were conducted.Results:A TSQ-M score of ≥29 (Sn=75.68%, Sp=68.06, +LR=2.37, -LR=0.36, PPV=70.9, NPV=73.1) with the AUC of 0.79, is suggested for screening use in Indian populations. Besides the adequate face and content validity, TSQ-M has moderate internal consistency (Cronbach's α = .64) suggesting that the construct of mental ill-health as conceptualized by TSQ-M has multiple sub-constructs. The presence of sub-constructs was demonstrated by an 8- factor structure, which explained 60% of variance.Conclusion:The TSQ-M is a psychometrically adequate, yet a brief measure, for clinical and research work in identifying mental ill-health among adolescents in primary-care settings in India.

Introduction: Globally, smoking related diseases kill an estimated four million people every year. This number is predicted to rise to a staggering 10 million a year over the next two decades. Smoking leads, indeed, to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, lung disorders as well as several malignancies, including lung, throat, stomach, and bladder cancers. Early identifying smokers in this group and the associated determinants of smoking behavior can help reduce or stop cigarette consumption. The Objective of this study is to find out prevalence of smoking among adolescents aged 13 to 18 years studying in class 9th to 11th in English medium private schools in Tripura, India. Materials and methods: A cross sectional descriptive study was carried out during November- December 2021 in faith based English medium private schools of Udaipur and Bishramganj subdivision of Tripura, India. A total of 565 students aged 13 to 18 years participated in this study from four schools. Results: The number of students participating from class 9th, 10th and 11th standard were 375 (66.4%), 85 (15%) and 105 (18.6%) respectively. The overall prevalence of ever smoker was 24.7% (95% CI 21.3 to 28.4%) among adolescents. The prevalence of ever smokers in male (38.6%) adolescents was more than female (7.7%) and differences between the male and female adolescents were significantly different (p value <0.05). Conclusion: Around one-fourth of the students studying in class 9th, 10th and 11th standard were ever smoked cigarettes or chewing guthka or pan masala.
