“…In one of the reviews, the result showed that the physical activity interventions reduced the risk for depression and increased psychological health (e.g., self-worth and self-confidence) among children and adolescents (Camero, Hobbs, Stringer, Branscum, & Taylor, 2012 ). Positive health effects of physical activity interventions were also found by Rew, Johnson, Henkins, and Torres ( 2004 ) who reported positive effects on physical health (cardiovascular fitness) in children. The two other reviews concluded that physical activity interventions had positive impact on health; one review found this relationship to be weak.…”

The overall aim of this systematic meta-literature review was to (1) summarize the findings of review studies focusing on health determinants, (2) give an overview of intervention studies that have been used to facilitate health and lifestyle, and (3) provide recommendations for future studies in health promotion. A literature review, using a meta-method, was conducted to identify health and lifestyle research based on research articles related to health changes. The search yielded a total of 561 unique citations and finally 24 citations remained. Of those, 11 studies focused on health determinants, whereas 13 focused on interventions for health promotion. Results from this meta-synthesis led to four recommendations for the design of future intervention studies. (1) To increase the likelihood of capturing different biopsychosocial aspects of health, researchers from different scientific disciplines should collaborate in the design, implementation, and evaluation of the study. (2) It is recommended to use theoretical frameworks that focus on health determinants in longitudinal studies with a repeated measures design. (3) Studies should involve behavioral interventions. (4) Design face-to-face intervention studies where the participant can interact with other persons.

“…In addition to biologic development, a traditional‐age college student's environment and social context influences their ability to obtain a sufficient amount of quality sleep. Family, schools, religious organizations, and communities may either promote or discourage healthy lifestyle behaviors in traditional‐age college students (Rew, Johnson, Jenkins, & Torres, ).With transition to college, adolescents make independent decisions regarding time allocation without the guidance of parents or guardians for the first time in their lives. According to the U.S. Census Bureau (), approximately 48.2% of females and 41.8% of males 18–24 years of age lived outside their parent's home in 2015.…”

Background and purpose The purpose of this systematic review was to examine influences affecting sleep behavior in traditional‐age college students and to advocate for improved sleep behavior assessments. Data sources A literature search of CINAHL, MEDLINE, and PubMed databases was performed using the search terms “college students” and “sleep” in the title that were published in English from 1978 to 2016. Conclusions The circadian clock is reset in traditional‐age college students leading to delayed sleep times. Newly realized autonomy and increased use of technology also prevent traditional‐age college students from obtaining sufficient sleep. Insufficient sleep experienced by these students has been linked to insulin resistance, hypertension, diabetes, weight gain, and stress. Sleep insufficiency increases the risk for pedestrian, motor vehicle, and domestic and occupational injuries. Insufficient sleep may result in poor academic performance influencing subsequent health outcomes. Implications for practice Evidence supports the need for nurse practitioners and other healthcare providers to incorporate systematic sleep behavior assessments to improve health outcomes among traditional‐age college students.

“…Rew and Horner (2002) report that knowledge is necessary before young people will initiate health-promoting behaviours. Mission Australia (2009) reports that health promotion strategies that are developed from and deployed within specific socio-cultural contexts are effective in modifying young people's drinking behaviour because the Schoolie can directly apply knowledge to the SF situation (Rew and Johnson 2004).…”

This paper reports on the findings from a qualitative research study that explored how young people prepared to minimise and/or avoid alcohol related harm while attending a Schoolies Festival (SF). Schoolies Festivals are mass gatherings at which young people (Schoolies) celebrate their graduation from high school. The attendance of Schoolies, in various Australian communities, ranges between 10,000 to 30,000 individuals during the event. The literature suggests that Schoolies are at higher than normal risk of harm at SF from misuse of alcohol, unsafe sex, aggressive behaviour, and other risk taking factors. As a result of these concerns, Schoolies' organizers developed an infrastructure that treat harm, on-site care (first aid stations) staffed by St. John's Ambulance. This study used focus groups to identify strategies employed by Schoolies to avoid alcohol related harm during SF. Data revealed that Schoolies did not actively seek health information prior to attending the event and did not display an interest in doing so.It is important to note that Schoolies planned to use alcohol to celebrate and have a good time. Therefore a harm minimisation approach with a focus on providing the necessary infrastructure at a SFs to minimise the dangers associated with excess alcohol use is important. Schoolies indicated that they had no desire for information about hazards of alcohol ingestion. If any health messages were to be used by health authorities, it would be far more appropriate to target the message to 'take care of your mate' to contribute to building a supportive environment at the event.This may be of more benefit to minimise harm at SF than funding other health messages. Literature Review 4School Leavers Festivals are often referred to as 'a rite of passage' from youth to the community of adulthood at the end of secondary education (Winchester, McGuirk, & Everett, 1999;Sande, 2002). Reports from SFs in South Australia and Queensland state that most Schoolies expect to be drunk most/every night of the holidays. In the majority of cases, these expectations were met (Smith and Rosenthal 1997). The festival is characterised as 'risky' and involves excessive levels of alcohol consumption and high risk behaviours, coupled with a party atmosphere.Additionally, the incidence of risky behaviour by males is higher than females There are however, differing views reported in the literature on the value of health information and activities to reduce alcohol consumption by young people. In an 5 attempt to change drinking behaviours during SF on the Gold Coast, Quek et al (2012) investigated the impact of a theatre program aimed at reducing drinking and other risk-taking behaviours during SF. The authors employed diversionary activities but found that these had little or no effect on Schoolies drinking behaviours at this event. This finding supported Salom et al (2005) who asserted that unless Schoolies expect/want to drink less, the behaviour will not change. Rew and Horner (2002) report that knowledge is necessa...
