Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Adolescent Health
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Adolescence is a critical period for brain development, often associated with risk-taking behaviors detrimental to brain health.
  • Limited understanding exists regarding adolescents' knowledge and perceptions of factors impacting brain health.
  • This study addresses a gap in understanding adolescent perceptions of brain health risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the perceptions of adolescents regarding brain health and its associated risk factors.
  • To identify specific knowledge gaps in adolescent understanding of brain health.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot study involving 151 students from diverse secondary schools in southwestern Nigeria.
  • Baseline perception survey administered to randomly sampled students.
  • Data analyzed using SPSS version 26.

Main Results:

  • A majority (60.3%) recognized alcohol and smoking as brain health risks.
  • A significant portion (41.7%) did not perceive social isolation as a brain health risk.
  • Over 41% disagreed that a healthy diet could enhance cognitive abilities.

Conclusions:

  • The study highlights critical deficiencies in Nigerian adolescents' understanding of brain health.
  • Collaborative efforts by governmental and non-governmental organizations are needed to raise awareness.
  • Educational interventions are recommended to address identified knowledge gaps in adolescent brain health perceptions.
