Health Problems Among Teens and Young Adults

/in /by

The course textbook An Introduction to Community Health refers to teens and their risky behaviors. The number of single parent households with children under the age of eighteen continues to rise. Unemployment is higher for teens and young adults, especially for minority populations. Health behavior and lifestyle choices are tested during this timeframe, with tobacco use, underage drinking, abuse of prescription illegal drugs, and risky sexual behavior. Teen violence and suicide are also a cause of concern to families and the community.

Based on your understanding of the topic, create a report in a Microsoft Word document answering the following questions:

  • How do social and environmental factors affect teens and young adults making healthy or unhealthy decisions? How influential is the family environment?
  • What motivates teens to form groups and how do negative behaviors increase when teens are involved in small or large gangs?
  • What specific issues does the U.S. minority population face in terms of health issues, lack of healthcare, and risky behaviors?
  • What specific type of community program would you develop if you were in charge of improving options for teens and young adults? What community members would you seek to speak with about your program proposal and how important is it to include influential community members who can help support legislation, space, or financial services to help a community program succeed?
  • How will education reduce risk taking behaviors? What type of follow up and evaluation will you do to ensure a successful program?

/in /by

Research the South University Online Library and the Internet to read more about the behavioral patterns. Conduct an interview (via phone or face-to-face) of ten or more people in the age group of fifteen to sixty-four years, to survey the impression of their health, health problems, and lifestyle choices.

Ask the following questions, while conducting the interview:

  • Do you smoke?
  • Do you drink alcohol?
  • Do you wear a seatbelt while driving a car?
  • Do you talk on the phone while driving?
  • Do you exercise four to five times a week?
  • Do you eat a healthy diet with fruits, vegetables, fish, chicken, and whole grain?
  • Do you suffer from any of the following conditions: high blood pressure, stress, weight issues, or diabetes?

Compile the data collected through the interview for each category of questions, taking into consideration the age group to which they belong.

For doing so, create a three column chart.

  • In the first column, list the health behaviors for which people were interviewed.
  • In the second column, list the percentage of individuals interviewed against each behavior.
  • In the third column, list the percentage of people who believe they have healthy lifestyles (information can be found in the text readings or from the Internet).
