This study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with adolescent pregnancy in the Chepang communities of Raksirang Rural Municipality, Makwanpur District, Bagmati Province, Nepal. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2022 to April 2023 among 231 Chepang women selected using simple random sampling from Raksirang Rural Municipality. A semi-structured questionnaire was used for interviewing the mothers. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed, using odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Variables with a variation inflation factor of more than 2 and a p-value of more than 0.25 were excluded from the final model. Results: The study revealed that the prevalence rate of adolescent pregnancy among Chepang women was 71.4% (95% CI, 65.14 to 77.16). A large percentage of participants (72.7%) were married before the age of 18 years. Poor knowledge of adolescent pregnancy (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 10.3; 95% CI, 8.42 to 14.87), unplanned pregnancy (aOR, 13.3; 95% CI, 10.76 to 19.2), and lack of sex education (aOR, 6.57; 95% CI, 3.85 to 11.27) were significantly associated with adolescent pregnancy.

Objectives: Cigarette smoking prevalence among adolescent males in rural areas of Korea has increased in recent years. The aim of this study was to explore the factors related to increasing trends in cigarette smoking among adolescent males living in rural areas. Methods: The raw data from the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey from 2006 to 2009 were used. Data were analyzed by using the method of complex survey data analysis considering complex sampling design. Multiple logistic regression models were used to explore the factors affecting cigarette smoking. We evaluated the linear time trends in the prevalence of factors that were related to current smoking status and the linear time trends in cigarette smoking in groups stratified by the exposure to each factor using logistic regression models. Finally, we examined the contributions of the factors to the time trends in cigarette smoking by adjusting for each of those factors in the baseline regression models and changes in the adjusted odds ratio by survey year. Results: A statistically significant increasing trend in smoking was observed after adjusting for the factors affecting cigarette smoking. Significant factors related to cigarette use were perceived stress, experience with depression, current alcohol drinking, exposure to secondhand smoke, and academic performance. The factor related to increasing trends in cigarette smoking was academic performance. Conclusions: Stress about academic performance is an important factor affecting the increase in cigarette smoking among adolescent males in a rural area of Korea.

Purpose: This study was conducted to differentiate the factors associated with the BMI group of adolescents between rural and urban areas, and provide baseline data in the development of health education programs considering their personal and environmental characteristics. Methods: Secondary data analysis was performed using the data from an on-line survey of the 9th adolescence behavioral health in 2013. The instruments included general, behavioral, and psychosocial characteristics. This study was a cross-sectional survey conducted with 26,513 adolescents. The data were analyzed using a t-test, two-way ANOVA, and multinomial logistic regression analysis. Results: Significant differences in the prevalence of obesity between urban and rural areas were nated and rural areas exhibited a higher prevalence of obese adolescents (p<0.05). The factors associated with the BMI group were the mothers' education level (low) and lower age of adolescents (middle school) in rural areas, wherase those for urban areas were gender (boys) and the fathers' education level (low) (p<0.05). Conclusion: Because there was a significant difference in the prevalence of obesity between rural and urban areas, it is necessary to develop a tailored education program considering the regional and environmental characteristics that the adolescents belonged to in order to prevent and control adolescent obesity.

목적 : 이 연구는 네팔의 마호타리 지방에 거주하고 있는 사춘기 소녀들의 낙태에 대한 인식 수준을 평가하기 위해 수행하였다. 방법 : 이 연구는 지역사회 기반 단면연구로서 2019년 1월부터 3월까지 네팔의 마호타리 지역의 농촌 마을 사춘기 소녀 412명 대상으로 실시하였다. 대상자는 10세에서 19세까지의 사춘기 소녀로서 다단계집락추출 방법으로 선정하였고, 사춘기 소녀의 낙태에 대한 인식 수준에 미치는 요인을 알기위해다변량로지스틱회귀을 시행하였다. 결과 : 조사 결과 사춘기 소녀의 45.6%가 안전한 낙태에 대해 높은 인식도를 가지고 있었다. 결혼한 청소년의 인식도는 미혼의 청소년보다 높았고(OR = 2.16, 95 % CI : 1.01-4.87), 중등교육 이상을 받은 청소년의 인식도가 높았다(OR = 2.21, 95 % CI : 1.13-3.04). 또한 월 소득이 10,000 ~ 20,000 루피(NRs)와 그 이상이 되는 경우 10,000 루피에 비해 각각 2.33 배(OR=2.33, 95 % CI : 1.07-3.55), 3.17 배(OR=3.17, 95 % CI : 2.19-8.94)더 높았다. 결론 : 이 연구를 통해 낙태에 대한 전반적인 지식 수준은 낮았다. 결혼상태, 교육수준, 가족수입과 같은 사회 경제적 요인이 낙태에 대한 인식수준과 관련이 있어, 이를 통해 원치 않는 임신, 낙태 및 그로 인한 합병증을 줄이기 위해 낙태에 대한 인식 수준을 높일 수 있도록 노력하여야 한다.
