This book was released on 2006 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine whether high levels of alcohol, sexual, and tobacco health-risk behaviors among college students are continuing from high school or related to the transition to college. A written survey was administered to 314 UNC Charlotte undergraduate students that collected data about current high-risk health behaviors in college, past high-risk health behaviors in high school, and current emerging adulthood status. The results indicate that although most of the specific high-risk health behavior items increased from high school to college, students with high levels of alcohol, sexual, and tobacco health-risk behaviors in high school were 11-27 times more likely to have high levels in college. In addition, students with high levels of emerging adulthood status were 2.5-4 times less likely to have high levels of college alcohol, sexual, and tobacco health-risk behaviors. When compared to high levels of emerging adulthood status, high levels of high-school health-risk behaviors were a better predictor of high levels of college health-risk behaviors. Thus, college-level programs aimed at reducing high levels of undergraduate alcohol, sexual, and tobacco health-risk behaviors should address students' past high-risk health behaviors and current status of emerging adulthood.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study assessed the health risk behaviors, values, and experiences of college students and GED candidates in an attempt to provide support for health education within the GED preparation process. Participants completed surveys mostly consisting of items from the National College Health Risk Behavior Survey. Independent t -tests indicated that individuals with completed semesters of health education in high school had fewer risks for tobacco use ( M = 4.55 and M = 8.67) and were more likely to consult healthcare practitioners ( M = 4.19 and M = 3.31), the internet ( M = 3.33 and M = 2.69), health educators ( M = 3.25 and M = 2.50), and voluntary health agencies ( M = 3.08 and M = 2.38) for health information. No statistically significant difference was found in relation to the value of health as a school content area among individuals with and without completed semesters of health education in high school. Analyses of covariance (ANCOVAs) indicated that GED candidates had a greater likelihood of using tobacco, using drugs, and initiating regular cigarette use than college students, adjusting for gender, race, household income, and exposure to health education in high school. ANCOVAs also showed that there were no statistically significant differences between the preferred health information sources and perceived value of health as a school content area among college students and GED candidates. Independent t -tests revealed that there was no statistically significant difference between the completed semesters of health education in high school among college students and GED candidates. However, college students reported a higher level of quality associated with their high school health education experiences than GED students ( M = 3.35 and M = 2.75, respectively). Frequencies and percentages suggested that GED candidates and individuals lacking exposure to health education in high school were more prone to tobacco use including chew and snuff, consumption of high fat foods, marijuana use, and risky sexual behaviors. Furthermore, GED candidates, including participants without exposure to high school health courses, indicated a greater frequency of seatbelt usage than their respective peers. Overall, findings from this study affirmed the need for health education among GED candidates. Implications for future research and discourse about curricular priorities and decisions are discussed.

Download or read book Adverse Childhood Experiences and Health Risk Behaviors Among College Students written by Morgan Thompson and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with social, emotional, and cognitive impairments resulting from disrupted neurodevelopment. These impairments manifest as health risk behaviors (HRBs) including tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, illicit drug use, and sexual risk behaviors. The current study assessed the relation between ACEs and HRBs by examining the cognitive abilities of 144 college students (M = 18.92 years; 56.3% female; 63.9% White; M = .078 ACEs). Participants completed an interview (parental incarceration, Criminogenic Cognitions Scale), surveys (Youth Risk Behavior Survey, ACE Questionnaire), delay discounting task, the Tower of Hanoi, and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test. Results revealed a graded relationship between ACE scores and illicit drug use risk behaviors, ACE scores and sexual risk behaviors, and household criminality and sexual risk behaviors. Students who reported more ACEs had an increase in the likelihood of reporting illicit drug use and sexual risk behaviors. Although no significant mediation effects of cognitive impairment were observed, a path analysis model revealed that a subscale of the Criminogenic Cognitions Scale (Negative Attitudes toward Authority) mediated the relation between ACE scores and sexual risk behaviors. These findings demonstrate the cognitive impairments may not serve as the best explanation for the relation between ACEs and HRBs in college students. However, these findings do indicate that a universal approach to preventing and reducing HRBs among at-risk college students may be inappropriate. Rather, it may be best to target specific HRBs.
