▼ Adolescents are sensitive people who can easily get derailed by a number of challenges which can sometimes lead to detrimental results if they are not taken care of appropriately. Despite the existence of the National Standards for Adolescent Friendly Health Services which is supposed to assist in reducing teenage pregnancy, disturbing figures of adolescents getting pregnant continue to rise. This study aimed at assessing the implementation of the Adolescent Active Participation, Adolescent Friendly Health Care Provider and the Adolescent Friendly Environment components of the Adolescent Friendly Health Services by nurses in Otjozondjupa Region, Namibia. A quantitative descriptive, analytical cross-sectional study design was done. The study triangulated data from three data sources. The first population was the 38 nurses at the health centres and clinics who implement the Adolescent Friendly Health Services in Otjozondjupa Region. The second study population were all the 3 health centres and 16 Clinics where the Adolescent Friendly Health Services are implemented. The third study population was the 4 995 school-going teenage girls as potential users of the Adolescent Friendly Health Services in the 21 Secondary Schools of Otjozondjupa Region. Data for the teenage girls and the nurses was collected using self-administered structured questionnaires of open and close ended questions. A sample of 540 from the teenage girls’ population and universal sampling of 38 nurses and 19 health facilities was applied. The data on the third component-the health facilities was collected through a checklist. Variables which are related to either the use or the provision of Adolescent Friendly Health Services were selected from the questionnaires and the checklist. A multivariate, analytical descriptive method was followed to analyse the data from the three data sources, using SPSS Version 16 data base. Variables from each of the three components were analysed and described. The relationships of the selected variables were analysed.
The findings indicated that there was limited active involvement and participation of the adolescents in the Adolescent Friendly Health Services as the majority of the adolescents as users of this service did not know about the service. The findings further indicated that almost half of the nurses in the service were not formally trained in Adolescent Reproductive and Sexual Health issues. Additionally, health facility environments were not adolescent friendly. In conclusion, this study revealed that although the standards for the implementation of AFHS exist, they are not being effectively implemented by Nurses in Otjozondjupa Region. Based on the conclusions which were drawn from this study, recommendations were made with regard to the improvement of adolescent active participation, marketing strategies for Adolescent Friendly Health Services, training of current and prospect adolescent health care providers in matters of adolescent friendly health services and improvement of the adolescent friendly…

Medicaid Enrolled Adolescents: Defining Populations and

▼ National attention is currently focused on improving
health services that are delivered to vulnerable,
adolescent
populations. An important first step in developing a new,
high-quality health care model that addresses the needs of
adolescents is to understand their current health services use.
Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Plan (SCHIP)
provide critical, financial access to health care for adolescents
in low-income families; yet, health services use by this population
is not understood. The first two of three dissertation papers focus
on how Medicaid insurance coverage definitions impact reported
estimates of health services utilization. The first paper is a
systematic review that describes Medicaid insurance definitions
reported by researchers and explores the extent to which reported
estimates of
adolescent health services utilization differ by these
definitions. The results from this review indicate that there is
substantial variation in the estimates of
adolescent health care
utilization as a function of variation in Medicaid definitions. The
second paper uses Rhode Island, Medicaid managed care data to
empirically examine how estimates of adolescents' health care use
vary as a function of three different, commonly used definitions of
Medicaid coverage. Applying Medicaid definitions with more
restrictive continuous enrollment requirements can result in the
systematic selection of adolescents who use health services more
frequently than the overall
adolescent Medicaid population. When
choosing a Medicaid definition, researchers should carefully
consider the insurance instability of their target population.The
third and final paper examines health services utilization by
low-income adolescents in the United States. In this paper, the
association between three broad measures of health care access and
emergency department (ED) utilization by low-income adolescents is
quantified. This study demonstrates that ED utilization by
low-income adolescents differs substantially by gender. Of the
three health care access measures studied, none were associated
with ED utilization by males and only insurance coverage was
associated with ED utilization for females. Our research suggests
that improving the current model of
adolescent health care will
require addressing gender-specific health care needs and care
seeking behaviors.

▼ Examining the process how the exposure of adolescents to destructive interparental conflicts influences their academic self-regulation; identifying the major causes of interparental conflicts and types of conflict tactics that parents of adolescents employed to resolve marital conflicts were the main purposes of this study. To investigate these problems, seven research questions were formulated. Data were collected form 421 students of Gion, Fasilo and Bahir Dar Preparatory schools and from 194 mothers of these students through questionnaire and semi-structured interview. Eighteen questionnaires from adolescents and 6 questionnaires from mothers were discarded through data screening processes. As a result, the main analysis was done based on 403 adolescents‟ (193 male and 210 female) and 188 mothers‟ questionnaire responses. Percentage, one sample t test, repeated sample t test, independent t test, Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were employed to analyze the data collected through questionnaires and description was used to present the data collected through semi-structured interview. Thus, the percentage result of mothers‟ ratings of causes revealed that household responsibility; follow up of child education, child caring, disparity in parenting style, misunderstanding, lack of interest to generate income, carelessness, insufficient income for the family, extravagance and lack of intimacy were the major causes of marital conflicts. The t test results showed that these parents practiced more destructive reasoning than verbal aggression & physical aggression, and more verbal aggression than physical aggression when they resolve marital disagreements. The result of interview also revealed that there are some homes that had applied hostile form of conflict resolution tactics. On the other hand, the independent t test depicted that low self-regulated students reported higher level of conflict property; threat appraisal; self-blame appraisal, and perception of low parental support compared to high self-regulated students. Pearson correlation also revealed a statistically significant negative relationship of academic self-regulation with conflict property, threat, self-blame and low parental support. Consistently, the SEM analysis depicted that interparental conflict negatively influences adolescent‟s academic self-regulation mediated by low parental support and self-blame. Finally, on the basis of these findings conclusions, recommendations and future research directions were forwarded.

▼ This study investigated the relation between adolescents’ self-silencing behaviors and gender attitudes. Self-silencing is a loss of interpersonal autonomy and expression during the adolescent transition in which girls feel unable to speak their minds. A similar “loss of voice” has also been documented in adolescent boys, but it is theorized to manifest as emotional restriction rather than self-silencing. Because the association between gender socialization and self-silencing behaviors has been debated, the current study sought to identify if and how these constructs are related among different racial groups. A racially diverse sample of 120 adolescents, ages 11-14, were recruited from the Northwest North Carolina area. Participants completed five surveys assessing their self-silencing behaviors, emotional restriction, explicit gender attitudes, closeness with peers, and participation in extra-curricular activities; an Implicit Association Task (IAT) was also administered to assess implicit gender attitudes. Results indicate that White girls who report higher levels of self-silencing are more likely to have traditional implicit gender attitudes. Additionally, the current study found preliminary support suggesting that Black boys who report high levels of emotional restriction are more likely to have traditional gender attitudes both explicitly and implicitly. Other contextual factors, such as greater closeness to peers, social media use, and participation in extra-curricular activities, are explored in relation to self-silencing and gender attitudes.

▼ Adolescent motherhood is presented in the literature as today’s challenge both nationally and internationally. The World Health Organization (2007) also indicated the encountered problem on adolescent motherhood world-wide. Many countries documented the vicious sequence of early motherhood such as poverty and poor education. Accordingly, adolescent motherhood is regarded as a social health concern owing to its socioeconomic consequences, which affect the young mothers, their babies, their families and their communities at large. As a developing country, Namibia is no exception to the problem of adolescent motherhood, high rate of early sexual activity prevails among adolescents, with consequently unwanted pregnancies and early motherhood. The increase in the births of babies to adolescent mothers is happening throughout the country. The adolescent pregnancy rate in Namibia is estimated to be 15.4%, with approximately one out of every five pregnant women being an early adolescent (Ministry of Health and Social Services, (MOHSS 2006/2007). The reality is that when adolescents discover that they are pregnant and the realities and responsibilities of motherhood dawn on them, they tend to feel shocked, frightened, hopeless, angry and frustrated. They may even become depressed and feel that they have failed themselves, their families and society at large. Adolescent mothers seem to be thrown into an adult world with no preparation for being a parent. This may increase the risk of child neglect or maltreatment and a loving-caring relationship between baby and mother may never develop. The following question arises: What needs to be done to assist and support adolescent mothers in the transition from adolescence to motherhood? Although the prevalence of adolescent pregnancy in Oshana region is not the highest recorded in the country, it does contribute to the high percentage in the country.According to the reports from the 2006 birth registers of the Oshakati Intermediate Hospital, a referral hospital in Oshana, there is an increased number of births from adolescents with the birth records indicating that 42% of the births that took place in January 2006 and 43% in August 2006 were from young adolescent mothers aged 15−17years.Thus, this study aimed atexploring and describing the experiences of adolescent mothers in the Oshana regionof Namibia as regards motherhood and developed an educational programme directed at preparing, assisting and supporting adolescent mothers during the period of motherhood. Adolescents should be able to manage their lives without back street abortions and baby dumping which usually occur when they don’t want to have babies. A qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual research approach was followed to study the experiences of adolescent mothers in Oshana region of Namibia. The study draws on a thematic analysis following Tesch’s analysis process. The study was conducted in four phases. Phase I entailed a situational analysis which explored and described the adolescent mothers’…

▼ Marijuana is the second most commonly used substance in the US. A growing literature suggests that socially anxious individuals use marijuana to manage their symptoms in social situations, which may explain why they are also more likely to experience problems. Unfortunately, the majority of the literature is based on research conducted with adult samples or the co-occurrence of diagnoses in
adolescent samples. The proposed study sought to test the link between social anxiety (SA) and proxies for ‘real-time' marijuana use behaviors (i.e., use willingness) as well as use-related problems among adolescents. Participants were 69 adolescents (15-17; 55% female) recruited from the community reporting any lifetime marijuana use. Participants were randomly assigned to a novel social rejection or neutral laboratory task and completed measures of SA, marijuana use frequency, and related problems. Consistent with adult findings, main effects of SA and experimental condition on marijuana use willingness were expected to be qualified by an interaction in which the greatest marijuana use willingness would occur among high SA youth post-rejection (H1), SA would be positively related to marijuana use problems (H2), and among adolescents in the rejection condition, marijuana use willingness would be positively correlated with use problems (H3). Only H2 was supported, highlighting areas of convergence and divergence in the role of SA and social stress on marijuana outcomes. These data stand to improve the scientific knowledge on the relative roles of SA and social stress on marijuana use within an understudied, high-risk population and help inform future intervention efforts.

▼ Introduction: Preterm delivery remains the major cause of newborn infants’ morbidity and mortality globally and more so in low-income countries like Eritrea. Research has shown that the provision of Kangaroo mother care (KMC) can contribute to a reduction in morbidity and mortality among newborn infants. However, there is limited research on the practice of KMC in Eritrea. Methods: A mixed methods approach was adopted in a phenomenographic study to collect the data. Eleven participants with work experience of at least two years were recruited from the Specialised Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (SNICU) at Orotta Paediatric Hospital (OPH), Asmara, Eritrea. Data were collected via individual interviews and observations. Results: The results showed that participants had no prior KMC training and education. In addition, staff had limited knowledge and mixed attitudes about KMC practice. There were also no KMC guidelines and protocols. Furthermore, space was not adequate for full KMC practice except for implementation of the kangaroo position. The researcher’s observation confirmed similar evidence of a lack of availability of a KMC ward and lack of protocols and guidelines. Limited interaction and communication about KMC between participants and parents was also observed. Some of the most common hindrances to KMC practice were the perception that KMC increased staff work load and that it was time consuming. In addition, lack of regular KMC training for staff, lack of a convenient setup and too few staff members were among the hindrances. One staff members also perceived that KMC practice was not culturally accepted. 15 Conclusion: The results of this study showed that there were no proper KMC guidelines and protocols in the ward. In addition, only the kangaroo position was practiced, not the full KMC protocol. Furthermore, staff had limited knowledge and mixed attitudes. The observation component of the research highlighted the lack of space and KMC protocols and guidelines as key limitations for delivering KMC. Therefore, it is recommended that a programme to improve staff knowledge be implemented, that evidence-based KMC guidelines and polices be made available, that the KMC ward be expanded, and that health education about KMC practice be brought to the population through mass media

▼ Although much is known about how parents and adolescents communicate about sex, less is known about their conversations regarding relationships and whether the patterns for those communications are similar to those for sex. This study
explores the nature of parent-adolescent communications about relationships and the factors that facilitate and inhibit such communications. A convenience sample of 170 females, 18-23 years of age, completed a retrospective survey assessing the nature of
their communication experiences with their parents about sex and relationships during their adolescent years. Results of this study suggest that the patterns of communication about relationships and sex are similar: respondents turned mostly to their
mothers to discuss these topics, albeit not frequently; the range of topics discussed were limited and general; more positive parent-adolescent relationships facilitated more frequent discussions; and the barriers inhibiting these communications were
common. Implications for programs and future research are shared.

Major: Psychology. Advisors:Bonnie Klimes-Dougan, PhD, Scott Crow,
MD. 1 computer file (PDF); v, 46 pages.
OBJECTIVE: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a
serious, often chronic illness associated with significant
impairment and suicide. MDD often begins during adolescence when
brain areas that regulate emotion processing are still maturing. To
expand upon our limited understanding of the neurobiological
underpinnings of MDD early on in development, this study examined
function within fronto-limbic neural circuits in response to an
emotional faces task among depressed adolescents and healthy
controls (HC) using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
METHOD: 34 adolescents with MDD (12 medicated, 22 unmedicated) and
16 healthy age and gender matched controls completed an emotional
faces task where BOLD response was examined when viewing happy and
fearful faces (presented in a block design) during fMRI. Scanning
was completed using a 3.0 Tesla scanner. Data preprocessing and
analysis was carried out using FEAT in FSL. Whole brain group level
analyses were conducted using a mixed-effects model (FLAME) with
cluster-wise significant testing (min Z=2.32; cluster significance
= p<0.05, corrected). RESULTS: In response to viewing fearful
versus happy faces, MDD showed reduced activation in areas of the
right thalamus, right insula, and right hippocampus compared to HC.
CONCLUSION: Results suggest that emotion processing in adolescent
MDD is associated with abnormalities in subcortical and paralimbic
brain regions within the broader fronto-limbic neural network. It
is possible that these findings reflect deficits in depressed
adolescents' ability to elicit cognitive control from higher
cortical regions and to accurately respond to and process the
emotional significance of fearful stimuli.

▼ The relationship between weight status and depression in children and adolescents was examined through an analysis of pooled data from three studies of Major Depressive Disorder in youth. Participants included 434 youth, ages 8 to 17. During the acute phase of treatment (0 to 12 weeks), youth received open treatment with fluoxetine. Participants were divided into three groups: normal weight, overweight, and obese. This study examined the association between weight status and various baseline characteristics of depression. The associations of weight status with depression severity (as measured by the Children’s Depression Rating Scale-Revised), remission status (defined as a score of ≤ 28 on the Children’s Depression Rating Scale-Revised and a Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement score of 1 or 2 following 12 weeks of acute treatment with fluoxetine), and time to remission were examined. Weight status was associated with ethnicity, such that African American participants were more highly represented in the obese group than in normal and overweight groups. Additionally, obesity status (obese, not obese) was associated with ethnicity, such that Caucasians were more highly represented in the nonobese group than in the obese group. Obesity status was also found to be significantly associated with a family history of depression, such that those with a positive family history of depression were more likely to be categorized as obese. Change in depressive symptoms over time and time to remission were not found to be associated with weight status as hypothesized. Remission status was found to be associated with weight status, age, and family history of depression. Results suggest that youth with normal weight may have a better response to depression treatment. Further research is needed in the area of obesity and depression in youth as it relates to outcomes for depression treatment to better understand this complex relationship.

▼ The overall purpose of this study is to describe the ways in which one school contributes to the healthy development of its students by providing an account of external developmental assets from the perspective of students and key staff informants. Specific goals of this study are: (a) to identify the principles and programs as well as the human and ancillary resources at one school whose explicit mission is to embed contexts and courses that contribute positively to the healthy development of young people; and (b) to compare perceptions among stakeholders about the external developmental assets of the school. This study gives voice to students and professionals to describe the extent to which they believe that a school‘s vision, program, and resources can impact the healthy development of young people. Researchers and theorists have encouraged academics to pursue qualitative research as an important step in elucidating the meaning of developmental assets in programs for young people, particularly in schools (Mahoney, Lafferty, & Nutter, 2003; Thurber, Scanlin, Scheuler, & Henderson, 2007; Scales et al., 2000), because, to date, developmental assets research has primarily focused on a quantitative inventory to assess youth resiliency and the efficacy of risk prevention programs. This case study contributes to the growing body of Canadian research on healthy youth development. The perceptions and ideas of participants could add to further understanding about healthy youth development, developmental assets, and the needs of learners in other educational settings.

▼ Chronic health conditions (CHC) in New Zealand adolescents are on the rise as medical advances continue. Exact numbers of the student population ranges from approximately 17% (
Adolescent Health Research Group, 2008) to as high as 37% (Ministry of Health, 2008a). Pasifika and Māori youth are especially hard hit by the increase in numbers of CHCs in New Zealand. Young people with a CHC face additional challenges in the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial domains their healthy peers do not. Prior research shows CHCs can negatively affect learning. This study used Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (Smith, 1995), generally used in nursing and psychological research, and focused on the learning experiences of New Zealand secondary school students with a CHC. It emphasized and gave voice to these students’ experiences that affected their learning. Data were collected from 24 participants in seven secondary schools in a major New Zealand city, through semi-structured individual interviews and focus groups.
Despite a wide range of CHCs and ages represented within the overall cohort of students, they shared many commonalities. Participants considered themselves no different from their peers in school, even as they discussed the different effects and difficulties of their respective CHCs, such as the impact of pain or inability to concentrate. They considered school important and did not want to miss class due to either a CHC or its treatment. The physical, cognitive, and psychosocial impacts of CHCs make learning challenging, especially when students encounter skepticism and teachers with insufficient knowledge of CHCs to meet their learning needs. This lack of understanding or knowledge regarding CHCs and how they impact the student caused additional strain but these young people retained their interest in school, regardless of school decile or ethnicity. Students took responsibility for their learning and attributed learning success to their efforts and coping strategies with strong support given by parents. Teachers or others within the school who knew about the CHC were seen as helpful and understanding; protective factors which contributed to their learning. New and career educators and policy makers in New Zealand need additional instruction in New Zealand on the impact of CHCs on learning as well as greater encouragement of communication between parents and schools regarding health to help these adolescents in their education.

▼ Depressieve klachten komen veel voor, ook bij adolescenten. Depressieve klachten kunnen de sociale, emotionele, fysieke en cognitieve ontwikkeling van de jongere negatief beïnvloeden. Na een depressieve periode is de kans op het ontwikkelen van een volgende depressieve periode groter (Smit, Bohlmeijer & Cuijpers, 2003; Treffers & Siebelink, 2006). Het herkennen van risicofactoren en van signalen van depressieve klachten kan mogelijk bevorderen dat vroegtijdige hulp geboden wordt bij depressieve klachten om te voorkomen dat de klachten verergeren. In huidig onderzoek werd nagegaan hoe risicofactoren uit het mesosysteem van adolescenten tussen de 10 en 15 jaar, namelijk sociale status, isolatie en gepest worden op school, het optreden van depressieve klachten beïnvloeden. Tevens werd van de variabelen geslacht, opleiding, coping en sport nagegaan of deze een modererende invloed uitoefenen op de relatie tussen de risicofactoren en depressieve klachten. Ten slotte werd geïnventariseerd in hoeverre de doelgroep bekend is met het bestaan en het gebruik van online hulpverlening ter preventie van psychische klachten bij jongeren. Het onderzoek was een cross-sectioneel survey. Tussen november 2011 en februari 2012 werden 38 scholen voor basis- en middelbaar onderwijs benaderd voor deelname aan het onderzoek. Via de 7 scholen die bereid waren om mee te werken werden de ouders van de leerlingen om medewerking van hun kind gevraagd. Daarnaast werden respondenten geworven via medestudenten en andere bekenden. Van 301 adolescenten van 10 t/m 15 jaar werden gegevens verzameld middels een online vragenlijst. De vragenlijst werd samengesteld uit een korte depressievragenlijst: Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (Angold et al., 1995), een coping vragenlijst: Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefski, Kraaij & Spinhoven, 2001) en zelf geformuleerde vragen voor het meten van gepest worden, isolatie en sociale status, sporten en bekendheid met online hulpverlening. In totaal werd 59% van de variantie in de depressieve klachten bij jongeren verklaard door de risicofactoren en moderatoren. Significante relaties waren te zien tussen de risicofactoren isolatie (15%) en gepest worden (3.3%) met het verklaren van de variantie in depressieve klachten. Een niet-functionele copingstijl bleek een significant modererend effect te hebben op de relatie tussen isolatie en depressieve klachten. Interactie was ook te zien tussen gepest worden en weinig sporten. De relatie tussen sociale status en gepest worden bleek bij leerlingen van de middelbare school sterker dan van het basisonderwijs. Geslacht toonde een kleine, maar significante relatie met depressieve klachten. Slechts een klein…

▼ Both obesity and eating disorders (ED) are increasingly conceptualized from an ecological model of health, which emphasizes the importance of individual and contextual variables. The peer context is particularly important for understanding adolescents’ weight related attitudes and behaviors; however, specific peer processes that impact obesity and EDs are unclear. Because social comparison is common during adolescence, how teens view their body in comparison to the body size of their close friends may be influential. The purpose of this study is to examine how adolescents’ perceptions of their friends’ body sizes relate to their weight-related cognitions, behaviors, and mental health symptoms, and to identify peer processes that mediate these associations. Adolescents provided self-report on weight related cognitions and behaviors including: defining self as overweight, dieting, exercise, body satisfaction, ED symptoms, and depressive symptoms. Using a figure rating scale, participants also reported on their figure size and the sizes of their four closest friends. Analyses indicated that adolescents who rated themselves as having a larger figure also had friends who they perceived as relatively large (i.e., weight clustering). For girls but not boys, the perceived size of friends (e.g., rating of largest and thinnest friend) predicted whether or not the
adolescent identified as overweight, felt body dissatisfaction, engaged in recent dieting, and endorsed ED symptoms, beyond the effect of BMI and self figure rating. There was some indication that peer group preoccupation with weight may mediate these effects, although in general there was little support for the potential mediating mechanisms tested. Results provide additional evidence of weight clustering among peer groups, and indicate this clustering may have an impact on how adolescents view their weight. Consequently, prevention programs that address negative aspects of social comparison or are delivered in peer groups may be especially important.

▼ Understanding what puts certain adolescents at risk for suicidal ideation and behaviors iscrucial to effective prevention and intervention. The qualities of the parent-adolescentrelationship may be important in the development and course of adolescent suicidal ideation andbehaviors. The goal of current study was to examine the association between the parentadolescentrelationship qualities of closeness and conflict and adolescent suicidal ideation andbehaviors in the 2 years following a medically serious suicide attempt. An examination of thechanges over time in the parent-adolescent relationship was undertaken. Further, the role ofsuicide attempt lethality, history of prior attempts, and precipitant parent-adolescent conflictwere explored. Participants included 85 adolescents who were hospitalized for a suicide attempt,ranging in age from 13 to 18, and their parents. Adolescents and their parents completedmeasures about their relationship at 5 time points over the 2 year follow-up period. Resultssuggest that, lower closeness with mother and greater conflict with father at baseline (shortlyafter the attempt) were associated with increased likelihood of repeat suicide attempts across thefollow-up. Decreases in conflict were associated with decreases in suicidal ideation over time forboth mothers and fathers. This association was moderated by adolescent history of prior suicideattempts. Improved parent-adolescent relationships (characterized by increased closeness anddecreased conflict) were more beneficial in terms of reduced suicidal ideation for adolescentswithout a history of previous attempts. Lethality of the suicide attempt was associated withchanges in conflict, with higher lethality associated with more rapid decreases in parentadolescentconflict. These findings indicate that closeness and conflict in the parent-adolescentrelationship are related to ongoing suicidality in adolescents who have made a suicide attempt,and suicidal history is an important moderator. Clinical and research implications are discussed.

▼ Adolescent pregnancies are a major health concern in Zambia. Obstetric outcomes of and factors associated with adolescent pregnancies seen at the UTH were not clearly understood, defined and documented. This study explored this aspect.
This was a comparative prospective cross sectional study. A purposeful sample of 200 consenting pregnant adolescents and women aged between 20 and 30 years who were admitted in labour and in a ratio of 1:1 was studied.
A total of 3,456 women aged between 14 and 30 years delivered at the UTH between September and October, 2015 out of which 480 (13.9%) were adolescents. Of the 100 adolescents studied, 62(62 %) had dropped out of school due to pregnancy (p <0.001, AOR 14.6; 95% CI: 5.15 - 41.53) with 81(81 %) of their pregnancies being unplanned. Factors associated with adolescent pregnancies noted from the study included mean age at coitarche (p <0.001), early marriages (p <0.001; AOR 14.6, 95% CI: 4.642 - 45.99), primary education (p 0.002; AOR 4.522, 95% CI: 1.758 – 11.634), having a boyfriend (p <0.001; AOR 12.70, 95% CI: 4.04 – 39.91) and contraceptive use. There were 95(95%) adolescents who had never used a contraceptive before compared to 40(40%) older women (p <0.001). Adolescents were also significantly associated with first degree perineal tears (p <0.001; AOR 3.46, 95% CI: 1.83 - 6.56) and preterm deliveries (p 0.026, AOR 2.60, 95% CI: 1.16 - 5.78). Furthermore, although not statistically significant, more adolescents 22(22%) had low birth weight babies compared to 14(14%) older women (p 0.132) and 11(11%) had pregnancy induced hypertension versus 7(7%) older mothers (p 0.323). In addition, out of the 10 documented caesarean sections among the study participants, 8(80%) were among adolescents (p 0.052). Several factors and adverse obstetric outcomes are associated with adolescent pregnancies seen at the UTH. Although adolescent pregnancy is reducing, it remains high and contributing significantly to discontinuation of school. Key stakeholders including the ministry of health and its cooperating partners need to continue targeting adolescents with appropriate health messages including an emphasis on increased access to and utilization of effective contraceptives.

▼ This dissertation examined the relationship between the predictor variables
of adolescent refusal self-efficacy, social capital, and the common liability to addiction
and the outcome variable of continuing care choices. Using a sample of 71 adolescents
who had attended The CASTLE, High Point treatment center’s adolescent center in 2011,
evidence was found to support the relationship between refusal self-efficacy, social
capital and these outcomes. Following the results of preliminary analyses, family history
of drug use was included in the list of predictor variables examined, in relation to the
outcome of adolescent continuing care choices. It was determined that refusal selfefficacy
and social capital were related to outcome choices of adolescents during
treatment. Furthermore, including the independent variables of family history of drug use
and common liability to addiction provided a more robust display of the directions
adolescents moved towards.

▼ Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) is a model of writing instruction with a convincing evidence base (Santangelo, Harris & Graham, 2016). The present study examines why SRSD is more effective for some students than for others. A mixed methods one-group pre-post design was used to compare writing performance, writing self-efficacy, self-regulation for writing, and knowledge of argument writing. The whole-class (n=27) wrote argument essays using an SRSD writing instruction method, in an urban multicultural New Zealand secondary school. Students completed the following digital scales and questionnaires: a writing self-efficacy scale, a self-regulation aptitude for writing scale, and writing knowledge questionnaires pre- and post-intervention. Following the quantitative phase, where students showed gains in argument writing, interviews were conducted with a sample of students who showed low, moderate and high gains in argument writing. Results indicate that while SRSD instruction in argument writing improves writing performance generally, transcription issues can be barriers to writing progress, as can issues with ideation and self-regulation. This Tier 1 SRSD intervention contributes to the SRSD writing research in that it supports the global generalisability of the SRSD method in teaching argument writing, and evaluates reasons for its relative effectiveness.

▼ OBJECTIVE: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a serious, often chronic illness associated with significant impairment and suicide. MDD often begins during adolescence when brain areas that regulate emotion processing are still maturing. To expand upon our limited understanding of the neurobiological underpinnings of MDD early on in development, this study examined function within fronto-limbic neural circuits in response to an emotional faces task among depressed adolescents and healthy controls (HC) using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). METHOD: 34 adolescents with MDD (12 medicated, 22 unmedicated) and 16 healthy age and gender matched controls completed an emotional faces task where BOLD response was examined when viewing happy and fearful faces (presented in a block design) during fMRI. Scanning was completed using a 3.0 Tesla scanner. Data preprocessing and analysis was carried out using FEAT in FSL. Whole brain group level analyses were conducted using a mixed-effects model (FLAME) with cluster-wise significant testing (min Z=2.32; cluster significance = p<0.05, corrected). RESULTS: In response to viewing fearful versus happy faces, MDD showed reduced activation in areas of the right thalamus, right insula, and right hippocampus compared to HC. CONCLUSION: Results suggest that emotion processing in adolescent MDD is associated with abnormalities in subcortical and paralimbic brain regions within the broader fronto-limbic neural network. It is possible that these findings reflect deficits in depressed adolescents' ability to elicit cognitive control from higher cortical regions and to accurately respond to and process the emotional significance of fearful stimuli.

▼ This case study explains why and how research findings from educational psychology and cognitive neuroscience were used to develop
adolescent learning strategies for the military education and training program at the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA). ADFA's
adolescent learning strategies were introduced gradually from 2011 to 2013. Data collected through the Academy's six-monthly training review process shows statistically-significant and substantial improvements in trainee engagement and trainee satisfaction during this period. The learning strategies applied were based on well-established research in educational psychology on improving the motivation and engagement of learners and on the important roles that thinking and reasoning play in constructivist models of learning. They were also shaped by more recent research in cognitive neuroscience on the potential implications of
adolescent brain development for
adolescent learning. This research posited that the uneven process of brain development observed in those aged 15 to 25, could be expected to have implications for cognition and behaviour during this ·
adolescent period. Specifically, it suggested that adolescents are different from adults and children in: their attitudes to risk and reward, their sensitivity to peers, their heightened fight-flight-freeze response, and the heightened effect of stress on their reasoning and learning. All of these, if true, would be important considerations in the design of learning environments for adolescents . This study is not intended as a scientific contribution to the disciplines of educational psychology or cognitive neuroscience. Instead, it is intended to illustrate some of the practical ways that findings from these disciplines can be incorporated into curriculum design in a military education program.

▼ The research reported in this thesis aimed to conduct a longitudinal investigation of the associations between adolescent chronotype and mental health outcomes across the adolescent developmental period. The literature suggests an association between extreme Eveningness typology (otherwise referred to as Eveningness preference) and affective and behavioural dysfunction. However to date, there have been no prospective/longitudinal analyses exploring the course of circadian typology with regard to the onset of both internalizing and externalizing dysfunction during adolescence. In response to this gap in the literature, this thesis aims to explore the relationship between circadian typology and risk factors associated with internalizing and externalizing dysfunction across the adolescent period using a multi-wave longitudinal design, so as to assess the prospective relationship of chronotype and the onset and development of mental health problems during this especially vulnerable phase of human life. Furthermore, the development of major depressive disorder (MDD) during adolescence has been linked to a lifetime of impaired functioning and disability, and characteristic rhythm abnormalities have been consistently associated with depressive states, therefore another key aim of this research was to further explore the potential influence of circadian rhythmicity in relation to the onset of case level Depressive diagnoses during this time.
Based on previous literature it is evident to date that puberty is associated with a natural tendency for endogenous circadian rhythms to phase- delay, causing adolescents to become more Evening-like in their sleep-wake behavioural tendencies. Furthermore, it is also well established that individuals who score at the extreme of Eveningness on Morningness-Eveningness questionnaires, such as the Horne & Ostberg MEQ (1977) and MEQ-r (Adan & Almirall, 1991) also exhibit a greater propensity towards developing a circadian rhythm disorder called Delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS). Extreme Eveningness tendencies have also been linked to poor sleep quality and sleep deficit, which, along with DSPS have been associated with affective and externalizing disorders. Thus, it has been suggested that individuals exhibiting extreme Evening-type predispositions are increasingly at heightened risk of negative mental health outcomes. In addition, psychosocial factors also play a major role in the development of affective and behavioural dysfunction during adolescence and therefore their influence cannot be overlooked. In particular with regards to chronotype, social and cultural routines are organized around light-dark cycles, thus imposing behavioural expectations that in some cases are difficult to meet if timetables do not coincide with endogenous predispositions for particular behaviours. For instance, Eveningness has been implicated in greater difficulty in meeting familial and social demands, thus resulting in a greater likelihood of conflict within the family environment (Cofer et al., 1999).…

▼ The present study was designed to investigate the synthetic notion of adolescent Geek identity transitions, the origin of which were owed to prior ethnographic examinations of adolescent Geek cliques and culture (ie., Kinney, 1993; Bishop et
al., 2003). Personal and support predictive characteristics of adolescents were evaluated, as the psychosocial context of identity expression had been shown to have an effect on identity transitions of this type (Burke & Stets, 2009). More so, as
Geek culture in general has been considered a creative culture (Passlick, 2013; McCain, Gentile, & Campbell, 2015), and adolescent Geek culture in specific has been demonstrated to be similarly creatively facilitative (Blashki & Nichol, 2005;
Hodges, 2011), constructs indicative of adolescent Geek identity transition were embedded in an amalgamated creative identity development framework by which the overall effect of the identity transition on creative behavior might be more fully assessed.
Responses to a researcher-generated online survey instrument of adolescent Geek identity transitions (the AGIT survey) were evaluated alongside responses to an extant measure of the quality and quantity of creative behaviors, the Creative Activities and
Accomplishments Checklist (CAAC: Paek & Runco, 2017). In the main study, 131 adolescent participants (mean age 14.7 years) were recruited to complete both instruments. Findings supported the positions that (a) four developmental trajectories of
adolescent Geek identity transition were most clearly expressed in the adolescent population, conceptualized here as the liminal, normalized, balanced, and embraced adolescent Geek identity transition statuses, (b) two characteristics – academic
performance and peer support – most strongly predicted comparative membership among the four statuses, and (c) each of the three Geek-positive statuses demonstrated a unique signature of influence on the quality and quantity of creative behaviors, both
generally and across three distinct creative domains, whereas, in contrast, the Geek-negative, liminal, transition status was more strongly associated with poorer quality and quantity of creative behaviors.

▼ This study research aimed to explore the role of parental involvement in the psychosocial development of the
adolescent learners in secondary schools. Literature reviewed revealed, dis-cussed the following topics: International background on parental involvement; challenges of parental involvement in the psychosocial development of
adolescent learners, linguistic challenges; lack of educator training; contextual/community factors; lack of parental involvement, Theoretical framework, Theoretical significance. This qualitative case study purposively selected two secondary schools in the rural context of Pinetown District in KwaZulu-Natal. A sample of one Life Orientation teacher from each participating school, two parents from each school and a total of four learners from each school was selected. A total of four boys and four girls, in grade 10 and grade 11 from both participating schools. This study utilized semi-structured interviews with teachers, parents and focus group interviews were applied with
adolescent learners. Data generated was analysed following thematic analysis. Themes that emerged included: The understanding of parental involvement in the psychosocial development of adolescents; the need for parental involvement in the psychosocial development of adolescents; the lack of parental involvement as a hindrance to academic performance of the
adolescent learners and challenging school factors and the lack of parental involvement. All ethical issues were adhered to.
Data that was analysed indicated that parental involvement has significant effects in improving learners’ psychosocial development which yields positive effects on improved academic performance; enhanced development of self-esteem in
adolescent and surprisingly for parents as well. This research has proven that the role of parental involvement is important for secondary schools to
adolescent learners in their development and to know themselves as they are developing at home, school and in community and as individuals as well as in building good relationships with parents.

▼ De Nederlandse
adolescent is zeer gelukkig blijkt uit internationaal vergelijkend onderzoek. Wat de Nederlandse jongeren zo gelukkig maakt is nog niet goed onderzocht. In deze studie wordt gekeken naar de voorspellers van het welbevinden van de Nederlandse
adolescent. Om dit zorgvuldig te doen worden verschillende voorspellers geanalyseerd: sociaal demografische factoren, leefstijl, sociaal kapitaal, urbanisatiegraad en religie. Daarnaast is gekeken of de
sterkte van de voorspellers verandert met de leeftijd. Cross-sectionele data van het Nederlandse Health Behavior in Schoolaged Children (HBSC 2009) zijn gebruikt. Uit de resultaten blijkt dat een groot sociaal kapitaal, en dan vooral een goede relatie met de ouders,
de belangrijkste voorspeller is voor een hoog welbevinden. Ook een gezonde leefstijl, namelijk dagelijks ontbijten, dagelijks sporten en een laag/normaal BMI, leidt tot een hoger welbevinden. Met de leeftijd neemt het belang van goede relaties met vrienden toe. Urbanisatiegraad en religie blijken geen voorspellers voor welbevinden, met uitzondering van
Roomse adolescenten: zij scoren hoger op welbevinden dan niet- of anders religieuzen. De meest opvallende bevinding is dat een goede relatie met de ouders de belangrijkste voorspeller is voor een hoog welbevinden.

▼ The physical and social environments of a
neighbourhood can cause and/or reduce stress for residents.
However, we know relatively little about the neighbourhood-level
stressors and stress-relievers experienced by adolescents, and in
particular
adolescent girls. This study explores how
adolescent
girls (15-17 years) living in one neighbourhood in Halifax, Nova
Scotia perceive key characteristics of their neighbourhood’s
environments as affecting and/or reducing their stress. Using a
qualitative methodology, data were collected from eight
participants using face-to-face semi-structured interviews. Photo
elicitation technique was also used for data collection. A key
finding of this research was that participants experience a strong
‘sense of community’ within their neighbourhood that makes a
significant contribution to their stress relief. At the same time,
participants reported a number of neighbourhood-level forces that
are threatening this sense of community including violence,
conflicts, and stigma. This study demonstrates the complexity of
the relationship between neighbourhood-level characteristics and
residents’ stress.

▼ This cross-sectional study examines data from the
2008-2009 Youth Smoking Survey among never, current and former
smoking grade 9-12 students using logistic regression. Path
analysis examining correlates of former from current smoking was
conducted for females and males. Former smokers represent a
distinct, often intermediary, group of students between current and
never smokers. Former smokers have similarities with current
smokers on individual factors but more closely resemble never
smokers on social and environmental factors. Among females, social
factors were most influential; whereas environmental and individual
factors played more of a role in male smoking cessation. These
results further describe youth who quit smoking. The strong effects
from social factors suggest the importance of family and peer
support for quitting. These findings inform the development of
youth cessation programming by providing a target profile and
highlighting areas for intervention focus.

▼ Children and adolescents with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Depressive Disorders, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) may exhibit similar behaviors, including anxiety/depression, withdrawal, and somatic complaints. These behaviors (as described on the Child Behavior Checklist) were compared across groups. Forty-five children, 15 with each disorder, were selected to participate in this descriptive pilot study. The purpose of this study was to provide a description of these behaviors that are present in each disorder, giving information that may add to the knowledge base of children with these disorders, clarifying diagnosis, and guiding treatment. Children with CFS, Depressive Disorders, and JRA were found not to differ significantly in the behaviors of anxiety/depression or withdrawal. A statistically significant difference was found in the CFS group, indicating a higher level of somatic complaints. Further study is needed to clarify the relationship of somatic complaints in CFS.

▼ Bullying by peers is a serious problem facing Canadian
adolescents today. A key social support for adolescents is the
support of their parents. While there is considerable information
from the parenting literature to indicate that healthy parent-child
communication and authoritative-type parenting practices are
necessary components for healthy socialization, few studies have
examined the unique and relative contributions of specific
parenting dimensions (support, behavior control, psychological
control) on bullying behavior in adolescents. In this study of 225
boys and girls between the ages of 11 to 13 and one of their
parents, the association among parent support, behavior control,
psychological control, adolescent behaviour, attitudes,
communication skills, and adolescents’ involvement in bullying
situations was investigated. Model testing indicated a positive
relationship between parent support, beliefs that aggression should
not be used to solve bullying situations, high levels of
communication, and low levels of bullying and victimization, both
in self-reports, and in effectiveness of problem-solving in
hypothetical bullying situations. Results indicate that warm,
supportive parenting influences the way adolescents consult with
their parents about how to manage conflict, deal with bullying
issues, and identify solutions to interpersonal
problems.

▼ The current study investigated: (a) the types of
solutions that students and parents generate in response to
hypothetical bullying situations; (b) the effectiveness of the
solutions generated; and (c) the effectiveness of strategies when
taking into consideration parent-child communication. Two-hundred
and twenty-five junior high school students and their parents were
required to read four short scripts involving hypothetical bullying
dilemmas related to physical, verbal, relational, and cyber
bullying, and generate as many solutions as possible to solve each
bullying situation. Additionally, participants filled out a
parent-child communication questionnaire assessing communication
between students and parents. Results revealed that the most common
type of solutions provided by both students and parents were
help-seeking strategies. The overall effectiveness rating of
solutions for students and parents did not significantly differ,
but fell slightly below effective. These results suggest that
parents and students may not be equipped to effectively cope with
bullying situations. Although communication in the family appeared
to play a role in the effectiveness of solutions generated, more
parental education on bullying and solving bullying dilemmas is
needed. Educational recommendations and future research steps will
be discussed.

▼ To better understand the relationship of parent and
peer factors in contributing to adolescent marijuana use, the
present study investigated the direct and indirect effects of
perceived parental knowledge and best friend drug use on adolescent
marijuana use. Survey responses from 2552 grade 10, 11, and 12
students were used to explore these relationships. As expected,
perceived parental knowledge had significant negative relationships
with marijuana use and best friend use and best friend use had a
significant positive relationship with marijuana use. As expected,
males reported more marijuana use and more best friend use than did
females. Yet females reported higher levels of perceived parental
knowledge than males. Logistic regression revealed that best friend
use partially mediated the relationship between perceived parental
knowledge and marijuana use. Contrary to expectations, the
mediation relationship was the same for males and females.
Implications of the findings for the mediation model are
discussed.
