摘要:

ABSTRACTParental evaluations of their children's participation in a school‐based sex education program for young adolescents were conducted by interview using a structured questionnaire. Parents were asked questions concerning: course objectives, course content, instructional materials, expectations, perceived effectiveness, and important outcomes of the instruction. The sex education course was six weeks in length, meeting for 50 minutes daily. The program was comprehensive and did not avoid areas typically thought of as controversial. The results indicated parental support for the sex education program and the evaluation provided useful information for program revision. An examination of the findings suggest a paradox in that parents want their children to be informed about sexuality and to be able to make decisions that would avoid problems, but they are uneasy about dealing directly with sexual behavio

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to gather data that would be applied to the design of an adolescent smoking prevention program. Focus group interviews, a form of qualitative research used in social marketing, were used to gather information from the adolescent participants to ensure that the program would reflect the needs and interests of the target population. The participants consisted of sixth graders from urban and rural areas, and black and white populations of low socioeconomic status. A total of eight focus groups was conducted with eight participants in each focus group. Activities such as auctions, roleplays, and guided discussions were carried out to learn about participant likes, dislikes, values, ideas, and abilities to turn down cigarettes. Following substantiation by a quantitative evaluation, this information was incorporated into the program and materials to ensure the maximum effectiveness of the intervention.

摘要:

ABSTRACTToxic shock syndrome (TSS) has been identified as a potentially fatal but preventable illness that causes disease, disability, and premature death, especially among adolescent females using high absorbency tampons. In 1983 the authors surveyed 129 high school girls in three midwestern senior high schools to determine the relationship between choice of a menstrual product and knowledge about toxic shock syndrome. The study found that the knowledge level of adolescent females about TSS was fragmented and inaccurate. No significant relationship was found between choice of a menstrual product and knowledge about TSS; very little variation existed between the scores for napkin users, regular tampon users, and high absorbency tampon users. Results of the study are discussed in terms of the implications for the health of adolescent females. Recommendations are offered for utilizing health professionals, parents, and the news media in the development of toxic shock education programs.

摘要:

ABSTRACTStudents who failed the Cognitive Skills Assessment Battery (CSAB) at the beginning of first grade were compared to those who passed on health factors, health history, family characteristics, socioeconomic factors, health ratings by the classroom teacher and the school nurse, and achievement on the Basic Skills Assessment Program (BSAP) at the end of first grade. Significant differences were found on family characteristics, birth history, and health ratings. Only ear problems were significantly related to the academic variables. Health problems were found to be moderately related to academic variables. This relationship is influenced by family socioeconomic variables.

摘要:

ABSTRACTA three‐year interdisciplinary intervention program with adolescent parents and expectant parents was implemented within a public school system. The program combined educational and counseling efforts within a regular school to provide information, support, and the opportunity for personal growth. Program organization and implementation are discussed as well as implications for health professionals. There was evidence that the program was effective with respect to an important goal: keeping the students in school. For the three years of the project, significantly more program participants remained in school than control group member

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe relationship between alcohol attitudes and the personality variables of locus of control and authoritarianism was investigated for a sample of 791 high school students. Authoritarianism was negatively related to indiscriminate attitudes and positively related to responsible attitudes toward alcohol use for both males and females. The locus of control dimension correlated with alcohol attitudes for females only. The findings provide information useful in the identification of adolescents at risk for problematic drinking.
