“…Psychosocial work dangers were significantly influenced by age, high job demand, and inadequate job control of workers(Kabito & Mekonnen, 2020). Increased age of workers was found to have a significant relationship with a higher risk of psychosocial job hazards (Lee et al, 2021).…”

“…After controlling for other characteristics like age, marital status, and other job activities, gender was shown to be substantially linked with psychosocial work hazards among teachers in Putrajaya (Mohd Anuar et al, 2016). Increased age, male gender, father's unemployment, low school ranking, not living with both biological parents, perceived family disharmony, low self‐esteem, and depression were all linked to a higher risk of psychosocial job hazards (Lee et al, 2021). In a similar study, women were found to be at a higher risk of experiencing psychosocial work hazards, and authoritarian and laissez‐faire leadership styles were found to be positively related to psychosocial work hazards (Feijó et al, 2019).…”

Most workers, especially teachers experience one form of psychosocial work hazards or the other. In the Nigerian context, there is a high prevalence of psychosocial work hazards and no study has been conducted to ascertain the influence of teachers’ demographics on their psychosocial work hazards. This study explored the influence of primary school teachers’ demographics on their psychosocial work hazards using the structural equation modeling approach. Drawing from the tenets of Job‐Demand‐Control‐Support theory, a correlational survey research design was used, using a sample of 254 primary school teachers, and the study was based on a quantitative research approach. The study's data were gathered utilizing a 28‐item questionnaire adapted from the 30‐item Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire developed by Kristensen and coworkers in 2005. The internal consistency reliability index of the questionnaire items was 0.74. The data were analyzed using a combination of frequency, percentage, chi‐square test of independent samples, hierarchical multiple regression analysis, and structural equation modeling. It was revealed that demographic characteristics of teachers correlated with their psychosocial work hazards. However, it was found that only the age and location of the teachers had significant (p < .05) relationships with their psychosocial work hazards. The age and location of the teachers are significant determinants of their psychosocial work hazards. This our findings call for more research on the subject matter as some recent studies have documented that other demographics of teachers had significant relationships with psychosocial work hazards. It was therefore recommended that teachers’ demographics should be considered as important factors in the recruitment of teachers.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the relationship between smoking and alcohol consumption on the risk of suicide among culturally diverse adolescents.Methods: This is a secondary data analysis study using data derived from the 15~17th (2019~2021) Youth Health Behavior Online Survey. Data from 2,922 culturally diverse adolescents were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Rao-Scott <i>x</i><sup>2</sup> test, and hierarchical logistic regression.Results: After controlling for demographic and individual, family, and social factors as compounding variables, the suicide attempt of culturally diverse adolescents with smoking and alcohol consumption dual use experience was a 1.91 odds ratio (95% CI: 1.02~3.55) compared to culturally diverse adolescents without smoking and alcohol consumption experiences.Conclusion: Our study findings indicate a need to prevent suicide among culturally diverse adolescents with smoking and alcohol consumption experiences. Suicidal prevention programs would greatly benefit from the experiences from culturally diverse adolescents who are smoking and consuming alcohol to better their programs on decreasing suicide attempts.

“…Many adolescents go through this critical phase safely, but some of them are not able to cope with these conditions and expose themselves to high-risk behaviors such as alcohol consumption [3]. Various factors may affect adolescents' tendency to alcohol, from a behavioral perspective sometimes people drink alcohol to relieve anxiety and loneliness [4][5][6]. In addition to the turmoil in the family environment, the way family members treat each other and, family history of drug and alcohol consumption are effective factors in this regard [7,8].…”

Background Alcohol consumption has become very common among adolescents in recent years and its prevalence varies in different countries. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of alcohol consumption and related factors in adolescents aged 11 to 16 years. Methods This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 288385 adolescents (girls, 53.9% of total) aged 11 to 16 years. In the present study, the GSHS data (2003–2018) available to public on the websites of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and WHO was used. To investigate the factors affecting alcohol consumption, univariate and multivariate logistics models with 95% confidence limits were used. Results The overall prevalence of alcohol consumption in adolescents was 25.2%, which was 28.3% and 22.4% in boys and girls, respectively. Among the surveyed countries, the highest prevalence was in Seychelles (57.9%) and the lowest in Tajikistan (0.7). Multivariate analysis showed that the Age for 16 and more than 16 years old (OR = 3.08,95%CI: 2.54–3.74), truancy for more than 10 days (OR = 1.24, 95%CI: 1.08–1.43), loneliness at sometimes of the times (OR = 1.04, 95%CI: 1.01–1.07), insomnia at most of the times (OR = 1.85, 95%CI: 1.70–2.01), daily activity (OR = 1.03, 95%CI: 1.00–1.07), bullied for 1–9 Days in a month (OR = 1.24, 95%CI: 1.09–1.40), cigarette (OR = 4.01, 95%CI: 3.86–4.17), used marijuana for more than 10 days in a month (OR = 5.58, 95%CI: 4.59–7.78), had sex (OR = 2.76, 95%CI: 2.68–2.84), and suicide plan (OR = 1.48, 95%CI: 1.42–1.54) were important factors affecting drinking alcohol. (Table 4). In this study, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 42.79%, 93.96%, 70.80%, and 82.75. Conclusions According to the results of the present study, the prevalence of alcohol consumption among teenagers was high. Therefore, it is suggested that demographic, family, and psychological factors should be taken into consideration in health programs for the prevention and treatment of alcohol consumption in adolescents.
