Assessment of Risk-health Related Behaviors of Female Adolescents and Their Determinants
...Show More Authors

Objectives: The study aims to assess the female adolescents’ risk-health behaviors, to identify their
determinants, to determine the association between the risk health behaviors and the stage of
adolescence for these females' demographic variable.
Methodology: A purposive sample of (268) female adolescents is selected from intermediate and
secondary schools in Baghdad City. These adolescents have presented the age of (14-19) year old and
divided into two groups of (14-16) year and (17-19) year. A questionnaire is constructed for the purpose
of the study, it is composed of (10) major parts, and the overall items, which are included in the
questionnaire, are (106) item. Reliability and validity of the questionnaire were determined through a
pilot study which is carried out during the period of February 15th 2012 through March 15th 2012. The
study instrument is used as mean of data collection. The data are analyzed through the application of
the descriptive statistical data analysis approach (Frequency and Percentage) and the inferential
statistical data analysis (Chi-squared test).
Results: The results indicate that the female adolescents have risk-taking behaviors with respect to
food consumption and dietary habits. They are physically inactive, and some of them unfortunately is
not concerned with the control of their weight, especially, those who are among the late adolescence
females. Smoking has a considerable rate among older female adolescents. But most of them is
experiencing healthy behaviors relative to drug use. Through the interpretation of their psychological
state related behaviors, some of them has presented feelings of sadness and loneliness with suicidal
ideas. Even though, they do care about their personal safety, and personal and oral hygiene properly.
The most influential determinant of female adolescents' health related behaviors, that the present study
has identified, is the family for the reason that our culture is considered as family-centered ones. Then,
the school and the media have become to be less influential determinants.
Recommendations: The study recommends that health promotion and protection oriented
education programs that address these risk- health behaviors can be designed, structured and
presented to the female adolescents for the purpose of motivating and enabling them for better
orientation toward healthy behaviors. A nation-wide study can be done to determine variety of healthrelated
behaviors that can be used as data base for further research in this area.
