“…They found that higher school and home selfesteem were related to reduced likelihood of past participation in sexual behavior and reduced intent to participate, whereas higher peer self-esteem was related to increased likelihood of past participation and higher intent to participate in the future. This was confirmed by Young et al [44] in a Hispanic middle school population. Given the findings that use of global self-esteem measures tends to produce specious or imprecise results in ESI research, we strongly recommend that future research in this area use domainspecific self-esteem measures.…”

“…In Quatman and Watson's (2001) study of adolescent self-esteem, the authors suggested that re-examining the validity of global self-esteem will require taking apart the construct and putting it into multiple domains to glean results that effectively measure the role of area specific self-esteem on adolescent behaviors. Area specific self-esteem studies that have examined self-esteem, within specific contexts such as peers, school, and home, have been beneficial to understanding adolescents' concepts of self and deviant behavior (Winkinson, 2004;Young, Denny, Donnelly, Rodriguez, & Hawkins, 2002;Young, Donnelly, & Denny, 2004). For example, Young, Donnelly, and Denny (2004) found youth who did not engage in sexual behavior had higher levels of home and school self-esteem.…”

The use of illicit and licit drugs continues to be a major public health concern. Many prevention and drug education programs address this issue by attempting to enhance self-esteem. The idea is that increased levels of self-esteem will serve as a protective factor in decreasing the motivation and increasing the resistance to use drugs. This study explored the relationship between area specific self-esteem and adolescent substance use. Participants (n = 700) completed a self-report questionnaire which included items measuring the use and expected use of selected substances. Results indicated significant differences in home and school self-esteem scores between users/expected users and non-users of a given substance for all 14 behavioral measures. Additionally, the peer, home, and school sub-scales as a set were found to distinguish between users and non-users for all 14 behavioral measures. Results should be of value to those designing prevention programming.

Tobacco use is more prevalent among adolescents and several factors influence their decisions to initiate at that age.Aim & Objectives: This study aims to determine the magnitude of tobacco use (both smoked and smokeless tobacco products) among adolescent high-school students in Visakhapatnam, sub metropolitan city in Andhra Pradesh. Methodology: This is a school-based cross-sectional descriptive study. The study is based on framework of the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) designed and conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Results: In the present study, there is a statistically significant association between the tobacco use and the adolescent students in the private and government schools. Tobacco is being used in multiple forms; few of which are in the smoking forms as cigarettes and bidis and also in the form of chewing tobacco as gutka or zarda. The other form in which tobacco is being used is in the form of Mishri and also as a toothpaste and toothpowder. Tobacco initiation started at a very early age (7 years). Initiation of tobacco use was higher in the younger age group (8-10 years) and percentage of adolescents initiating tobacco use decreased as the age increased. There is no difference in the attitude with regards to attractiveness of the boys who smoke in both Private and Government school. Conclusion: Finally we Adolescent students from both Government and Private schools feel that girls look less attractive if they smoke.
