“…Consistent with previous studies (Siziya et al, 2007;Hazemba et al, 2008;Rudatsikira et al, 2008;Hoeve, 2009;Muula et al, 2012;and Erginoz, 2015), this study also found a negative association between parental involvement and violence (being bullied and in a physical fight) and truancy. An intervention trial that utilized parental involvement reduced truant and other problem behaviors among adolescents (Stanton et al, 2004).…”

“…Among school-going adolescents, parental supervision protected children from physical fighting in the Philippines (Rudatsikira et al, 2008), from being bullied in China (Hazemba et al, 2008) and from school truancy in Swaziland and Zambia (Siziya et al, 2007;& Muula et al, 2012). In a meta review, parental monitoring was found to be protective against delinquency (Hoeve et al, 2009).…”

T he aim of this investigation was to assess the association between parental involvement, health behaviors, and mental health among adolescents in six Asian countries (Iraq, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mongolia, Philippines, and Vietnam). Using data from the cross-sectional 'Global School-Based Student Health Survey (GSHS)', 44,231 adolescents (mean age 15.1 years, SD=1.5) were assessed with a self-administered structured questionnaire. In multivariable regression, higher levels of parental involvement were positively associated with fruit and vegetable consumption and physical activity in half of the study countries, and negatively associated with bullying victimization, having been in a physical fight, loneliness, anxiety, and suicidal ideation in most countries. Parental involvement and/or support may be effective in increasing the number of positive health behaviors, including fruit and vegetable consumption, physical activity, no violent behaviors, school attendance, and mental health in this adolescent population.

Background. Adolescents are prone to various forms of behavioral problems. These behavioral issues in adolescents can have serious consequences for the adolescents. Objectives. The objectives of the study are to determine the causative factors of adolescent problems and specific manifestations. Methods. Behavioral problems were investigated using a random sampling of adolescents from secondary schools in southeast Nigeria from February to April, 2014. A self-administered questionnaire was developed from Health Kids Colorado Questionnaire. Results. A total of 763 subjects completed the questionnaire. Adolescents who reported to have used tobacco 3 to 5 and 6 to 9 times during the last 30 days are just 3.14% and 3.4%, respectively. Nineteen (2.49%) adolescents claimed that they have had sex before but not in the last 3 months. Adolescents who attempted suicide are from 15 years and peaked at 18. Eighty-three (11%) adolescents who are 15 years old attempted suicide in a year; this peaks at 17 years where 235 (30.8%) committed suicide. Majority of adolescents with behavioral disorder are from the upper class family. Conclusion. This study revealed that adolescents exhibit several forms of behavioral problems.

Abstract:Background:Among school- attending adolescents, victimization from bullying is associated with anxiety, depression and poor academic performance. There are limited reports on victimization from bullying in Zambia; we therefore conducted this study to determine the prevalence and correlates for victimization from bullying among adolescents in grades 7 to 10 in the country in order to add information on the body of knowledge on victimization from bullying.Methods:The 2004 Zambia Global School-based Health Survey (GSHS) data among adolescents in grades 7 to 10 were obtained from the World Health Organization. We estimated the prevalence of victimization from bullying. We also conducted weighted multivariate logistic regression analysis to determine independent factors associated with victimization from bullying, and report adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI).Results:Of 2136 students who participated in the 2004 Zambia GSHS, 1559 had information on whether they were bullied or not. Of these, 1559 students, 62.8% (60.0% of male and 65.0% of female) participants reported having been bullied in the previous 30 days to the survey. We found that respondents of age less than 14 years were 7% (AOR=0.93; 95%CI [0.91, 0.95]) less likely to have been bullied compared to those aged 16 years or older. Being a male (AOR=1.07; 95%CI [1.06, 1.09]), lonely (AOR=1.24; 95%CI [1.22, 1.26]), worried (AOR=1.12; 95%CI [1.11, 1.14]), consuming alcohol (AOR=2.59; 95%CI [2.55, 2.64]), missing classes (AOR=1.30; 95%CI [1.28, 1.32]), and considering attempting suicide (AOR=1.20; 95%CI [1.18, 1.22]) were significantly associated with bullying victimization.Conclusions:Victimization from bullying is prevalent among in-school adolescents in grades 7 to 10 in Zambia, and interventions to curtail it should consider the factors that have been identified in this study.
