Abstract:
Sexual risk taking behaviour carries a number of aversive outcomes including HIV infection, STIs and unplanned pregnancies. Past research has shown adolescents in particular are at a high risk for these negative consequences. This study examines how negative gender beliefs operate to predict sexual risk taking in later adolescence. Participants were 164 adolescents that completed 2 questionnaires over 2 years. Past research has suggested sexual risk taking behaviour is determined by multiple systems of influence. Therefore, additional demographic and contextual variables were included in data

Abstract:
Adolescence is a phase in human life which is characterized as the growing desire for sexual intercourse. Furthermore, the lack of knowledge on sexual health during this phase may result in risky sexual practices. So, parental monitoring is essential for this group of people. On this basis, I have conducted a review on parental monitoring of risky sexual behaviour of adolescents. While reviewing, accessible and eligible resources are consulted from PubMed, Hinari, Research Gate, etc up to November 2018.

SummaryEarly sexual debut is of major concern because it is a correlate for health and economic shocks experienced in adulthood. In South Africa, this concern has provided impetus for research directed at the HIV and AIDS epidemic, teenage pregnancy and the effect of adolescent sexual behaviour on persistence in school. Of interest to the present study is high school completion, which is a well-established empirical barometer of adult socioeconomic opportunities. Using data from the five waves of the Cape Area Panel Study (CAPS), this paper examines the association between sexual behaviours in

Abstract:
Background: Approximately one-third of young people in the UK have suffered intimate partner violence and abuse (IPVA) on reaching adulthood. We need interventions to prevent IPVA in this population, but there is a lack of evidence on who is at greatest risk. Methods: We analysed questionnaire data from 3,279 participants of the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children population-based birth cohort. We estimated the prevalence of IPVA victimisation and perpetration by age 21, by sex, demographic, parenting, mental health, externalising behaviour (e.g. smoking), educational, employment,

Abstract:
This is a brief review of the normal changes in adolescent behaviour and the interplay between biology and social factors that occur at and around puberty, in an attempt to explain when this transition may become problematic The onset of puberty is a biological marker for an individual's transition from a non-reproductive to a reproductive state. Adolescence is a normal developmental transition associated with clearly visible physical changes, reorganization and pruning of neuronal circuits in the brain and the occurrence of new behaviours and interests. It is a time when new life tasks (orien

Background. This study examined associations between childhood circumstances, adolescent mental health and life events, and the development of suicidal behaviour in young people aged between 15 and 21 years.Method. Data were gathered over the course of a 21-year longitudinal study of a birth cohort of 1265 children born in New Zealand. The measures collected included: (1) patterns of suicidal behaviour (ideation, attempt) (15–21 years); (2) social background, family functioning, parental and individual adjustment during childhood (0–16 years); and (3) time dynamics of mental health and stressf

Abstract:
In child and adolescent psychiatric practice, it is important for a clinician to be aware of contexts in which children are brought with concerns related to sexual behaviors. Johnson described a continuum of natural and healthy behaviors to sexually aggressive behaviors. Sexual development begins in fetal life and continues through infancy, childhood, and adolescence along characteristic pathways. Typically, developing children exhibit a wide range of sexual behaviors. Children and adolescents may display increased or deviant sexual behavior as a result of certain stressors, traumatic experien

Background. Research shows that psychopathology, child sexual abuse and other childhood adversities are risk factors for suicide. However, few have investigated their joint and independent roles in the pursuit of a reliable, predictive model of suicidal behaviour.Methods. Data are from the National Comorbidity Survey (N = 5877), a nationally representative study of prevalence, risk factors, and social consequences of psychiatric disorders in the US. Discrete time survival analysis and population attributable risk methodologies were utilized.Results. Among those sexually abused as children, odd

Abstract:
The period of adolescence is characterized as a time of experimentation during which adolescents may engage in adult behavior in the absence of understanding the consequences of these behaviors. The purpose of this study was to examine the self-reported sexual behaviors of late adolescent junior and senior high school students ( N = 7,699). The study indicated a significantly high and disconcerting frequency of self-reported risk-taking sexual behavior.
