“…The home environment and parents, particularly, play a critically vital role in the health of their children and can strongly influence the choices and adolescents make regarding eating behaviour and physical activity (7). Close parent-adolescent relationships, healthy open communication, good parenting skills, shared family activities and positive parent role modelling all have well-documented effects on adolescent health and development (8,9), particularly relating to physical activity (4) and eating behaviour (5).…”

Purpose: To examine the role of perceived social support and parental education on physical activity and eating behaviour of Ghanaian adolescents.Methods: Seven hundred and seventy Senior High School students (504 boys and 266 girls) between the ages of 14 to 21 years participated by completing questionnaires on perceived social support, physical activity and eating behaviour.Highest education attained by either parent or guardian was also obtained.Multivariate Analysis of Covariance was the main statistical test used to analyse the data. Results:The results showed significant gender differences in physical activity and eating behaviour combined, with boys more likely to engage in physical activity than girls, and girls also more likely to engage in healthy eating behaviour than boys, albeit the effect was not statistically significant. While perceived social support had a significant positive effect on eating behaviour and physical activity, parental education had a significant effect only on eating behaviour but not physical activity. Conclusions:Perceived social support from family coupled with parental education provides more opportunities for adolescents to engage in healthy eating behaviour.Also, parents' educational attainment alone does not necessarily guarantee that adolescents will engage in physical activity; providing the needed social support and conducive home environment is more likely to induce physical activity behaviours.Finally, physical activity and eating behaviour should not be construed as alternative health behaviours as suggested by gender differentials in these health behaviours.

“…Consistently positive parent-child relationships. Strong parent-child relationships are regularly found to predict positive outcomes for children (Resnick et al, 1997), and this association holds even when numerous background factors are statistically controlled (Hair et al, 2005). The Chartbook includes two point-in-time indicators assessing positive parentchild relationships: the percentage of adolescents with positive relationships with their parent, and the percentage of parents of children under age 13 who expressed various forms of warmth and affection to their child every day in the past month.…”

“…Family functioning. Numerous aspects of family functioning are related to the well-being of the adults and children in a family, including family routines (Moore et al, under review), the quality of the parents' marital relationship (Moore et al, under review), the quality of the parentchild relationship (Hair et al, 2005), monitoring and supervision of children, and family communication. From a lifecourse perspective, it is important that these aspects of family functioning be ongoing in ageappropriate ways over time.…”

“…Research has confirmed the continuing influence of parents/primary caregivers in the lives of children through adulthood (Borkowsky, Ramey, & Bristol-Power, 2002; Hair et al, 2005). Although the influence of peers on youth attitudes, values, and behavior increases as they enter adolescence (Barnes, Hoffman, Welte, Farrell, & Dintcheff, 2006), parent influence in their development remains a significant aspect of their lives (Borkowsky et al, 2002).…”
