  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Adolescent behaviors such as substance use and sexual activity are significant public health concerns.
  • Understanding the prevalence and correlates of these behaviors is crucial for developing effective interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the prevalence of regular drinking, smoking, and sexual intercourse among a national sample of high school students.
  • To identify demographic and social factors associated with these adolescent risk behaviors.

Main Methods:

  • A national survey was conducted on a sample of high school students.

Main Results:

  • 43% of students reported regular drinking, 32% regular smoking, and 11% had experienced sexual intercourse.
  • Boys were more likely than girls to engage in these behaviors.
  • Factors such as attending school in Seoul, single-parent households, living away from family, and having sexually experienced friends were associated with higher prevalence.

Conclusions:

  • Adolescent risk behaviors are prevalent and influenced by a complex interplay of individual, social, and environmental factors.
  • Targeted interventions addressing peer influence and socioeconomic factors may be beneficial.
