This book was released on 2016 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescent alcohol use is a major public health problem in the United States. Few studies have examined the relationship between specific components of mental health (i.e. self-concept) and alcohol use, particularly across the varying developmental years. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the impact of self-concept on recent alcohol use (past 30 days) and recent binge drinking (five or more alcoholic beverages on one occasion) across three developmental ages. This study employed secondary data analysis using the National Longitudinal Study on Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health). All participants were in grades 7-12 (N = 6,504) and completed the computer assisted in-home interview. A total of 17.3% of youth reported recent alcohol use and 11.3% reported recent binge drinking. Overall, recent alcohol use and recent binge drinking increased with increased grade levels. Youth who were male and white were also more likely than their counterparts for recent alcohol use and recent binge drinking. Youth with low self-concept were at increased odds for recent alcohol use. This held true regardless of sex, race and grade. Youth with low self-concept were at increased odds for recent binge drinking among male and female students, white students, and students in grades 7-8 and grades 11-12. Students in grades 7-8 with low self-concept had the highest odds ratios for recent alcohol use and recent binge drinking in comparison to students in grades 9-10 or 11-12 with low self-concept. Results of this study underscore the importance for health educators and preventionists to consider the impact of self-concept on youth substance use at differing grade levels when developing substance abuse prevention efforts. Youth suicide is in the top leading causes of death among adolescents and remains an important public health issue for health professionals today. Few have examined a more intrapersonal form of mental health, an individual's overall self-concept. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the impact of self-concept on suicidal ideation and suicide attempts across three grade levels. A secondary data analysis was conducted using the National Longitudinal Study on Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health). All participants were in grades 7-12 (N = 6,504) and completed a computer assisted in-home interview. A total of 12.8% of youth reported suicidal ideation and 3.5% reported attempting suicide in the past 12 months. Overall, suicidal ideation increased with age whereas suicide attempts were consistent among the three groups. Female youth were significantly more likely than male youth to experience both suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. Youth with a low self-concept were at increased odds for suicidal ideation and suicide attempts regardless of sex, race, or grade. Interestingly, the impact of self-concept on suicidal ideation noticeably increased with increased grade level. Odds ratios for suicidal ideation show those with low self-concept were 2.8 (7th/8th grade), 3.5 (9th/10th grade), and 4.4 (11th/12th grade). The impact of self-concept on suicide attempts did not increase but rather remained consistently high among the three age groups. Future research is needed to explain reasons for the pronounced impact of self-concept on suicidal ideation with progressing age. Results from this study support the need for incorporating self-concept into suicide prevention efforts for youth.
Book Synopsis Reducing Underage Drinking by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Reducing Underage Drinking written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-03-26 with total page 761 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol use by young people is extremely dangerous - both to themselves and society at large. Underage alcohol use is associated with traffic fatalities, violence, unsafe sex, suicide, educational failure, and other problem behaviors that diminish the prospects of future success, as well as health risks â€" and the earlier teens start drinking, the greater the danger. Despite these serious concerns, the media continues to make drinking look attractive to youth, and it remains possible and even easy for teenagers to get access to alcohol. Why is this dangerous behavior so pervasive? What can be done to prevent it? What will work and who is responsible for making sure it happens? Reducing Underage Drinking addresses these questions and proposes a new way to combat underage alcohol use. It explores the ways in which may different individuals and groups contribute to the problem and how they can be enlisted to prevent it. Reducing Underage Drinking will serve as both a game plan and a call to arms for anyone with an investment in youth health and safety.

Book Synopsis The Best Intentions by : Committee on Unintended Pregnancy
Download or read book The Best Intentions written by Committee on Unintended Pregnancy and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1995-06-16 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts estimate that nearly 60 percent of all U.S. pregnancies--and 81 percent of pregnancies among adolescents--are unintended. Yet the topic of preventing these unintended pregnancies has long been treated gingerly because of personal sensitivities and public controversies, especially the angry debate over abortion. Additionally, child welfare advocates long have overlooked the connection between pregnancy planning and the improved well-being of families and communities that results when children are wanted. Now, current issues--health care and welfare reform, and the new international focus on population--are drawing attention to the consequences of unintended pregnancy. In this climate The Best Intentions offers a timely exploration of family planning issues from a distinguished panel of experts. This committee sheds much-needed light on the questions and controversies surrounding unintended pregnancy. The book offers specific recommendations to put the United States on par with other developed nations in terms of contraceptive attitudes and policies, and it considers the effectiveness of over 20 pregnancy prevention programs. The Best Intentions explores problematic definitions--"unintended" versus "unwanted" versus "mistimed"--and presents data on pregnancy rates and trends. The book also summarizes the health and social consequences of unintended pregnancies, for both men and women, and for the children they bear. Why does unintended pregnancy occur? In discussions of "reasons behind the rates," the book examines Americans' ambivalence about sexuality and the many other social, cultural, religious, and economic factors that affect our approach to contraception. The committee explores the complicated web of peer pressure, life aspirations, and notions of romance that shape an individual's decisions about sex, contraception, and pregnancy. And the book looks at such practical issues as the attitudes of doctors toward birth control and the place of contraception in both health insurance and "managed care." The Best Intentions offers frank discussion, synthesis of data, and policy recommendations on one of today's most sensitive social topics. This book will be important to policymakers, health and social service personnel, foundation executives, opinion leaders, researchers, and concerned individuals. May

Book Synopsis Social Aspects of Alcoholism by : Benjamin Kissin
Download or read book Social Aspects of Alcoholism written by Benjamin Kissin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 663 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first three volumes of this series have dealt with materials which generally justify the title, The Biology of Alcoholism. This is only remotely true of the present volume, Social Aspects of Alcoholism, or of the final volume to come, Treatment and Rehabilitation. Except for small portions of the treatment section which involve pharmacotherapy, much of these last two volumes deals with the psychological aspects of alcoholism and still more with the social. It is interesting to review the evolution of this new pattern over the past seven years, a pattern which, had it existed initially, would have resulted, if not in a dif ferent format, at least in a different title. Our initial selection of areas to be covered was influenced by our desire to present as "hard" data as possible, in an attempt to lend a greater aura of scientific rigor to a field which was generally considered as "soft. " When we completed our review of this material in volumes 1-3, we recognized that what we might have gained in rigor, we had more than lost in completeness. These volumes presented a picture of a biological disease syndrome for which the remedies and preventive measures were presumably also biological. And yet, most workers in the field readily accept the significant contributions of psychological and social factors to the pathogenesis and treatment of alcoholism.

Download or read book The Child written by Richard A. Shweder and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-09-15 with total page 1144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Child: An Encyclopedic Companion offers both parents and professionals access to the best scholarship from all areas of child studies in a remarkable one-volume reference. Bringing together contemporary research on children and childhood from pediatrics, child psychology, childhood studies, education, sociology, history, law, anthropology, and other related areas, The Child contains more than 500 articles—all written by experts in their fields and overseen by a panel of distinguished editors led by anthropologist Richard A. Shweder. Each entry provides a concise and accessible synopsis of the topic at hand. For example, the entry “Adoption” begins with a general definition, followed by a detailed look at adoption in different cultures and at different times, a summary of the associated mental and developmental issues that can arise, and an overview of applicable legal and public policy. While presenting certain universal facts about children’s development from birth through adolescence, the entries also address the many worlds of childhood both within the United States and around the globe. They consider the ways that in which race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, and cultural traditions of child rearing can affect children’s experiences of physical and mental health, education, and family. Alongside the topical entries, The Child includes more than forty “Imagining Each Other” essays, which focus on the particular experiences of children in different cultures. In “Work before Play for Yucatec Maya Children,” for example, readers learn of the work responsibilities of some modern-day Mexican children, while in “A Hindu Brahman Boy Is Born Again,” they witness a coming-of-age ritual in contemporary India. Compiled by some of the most distinguished child development researchers in the world, The Child will broaden the current scope of knowledge on children and childhood. It is an unparalleled resource for parents, social workers, researchers, educators, and others who work with children.
