| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 衛生教育學系 === 95 === The purpose of this thesis was focused on investigating the influential factors of risk behaviors related to health among the adolescents in Taiwan. The study discussed the relationship between the social demography factors, risk behaviors related to health of the parents and their teenagers. The social demography factors included age, sex, and education level and income of the parents, and residence location. The results would be used as reference for educational staff, parents and the other institutes related to improvement of adolescents’ behavior. Cross-sectional analysis was adopted in this study with the subsidiary analysis of the national health interview survey (NHIS) published in 2001. The sampling population for this study was 2820 people.
It was found that the occurrence probability of the risk behaviors related to health in the male group was significantly higher than that in the female group among the following six aspects – smoking, alcohol-drinking, betel-chewing, rare exercises, uncontrolled weight and not-daily-fruit-eating. The occurrence probability of the risk behaviors related to health in the adolescents from 18 to 24 years old was significantly higher than that in the adolescents from 12 to 17 years old among the following six aspects–smoking, alcohol-drinking, betel-chewing, rare exercises in the past two weeks, uncontrolled weight and not-daily-breakfast-eating. The occurrence probability of the targeted adolescents in risk behaviors related to health was higher with the lowlier-educated parents. Comparing the correlations of the risk behaviors related to health among the father-and-daughter, father-and-son, mother-and-daughter and mother-and-son relationships, it was shown that the father-and-son relationship had highest correlation followed by the relationships of mother-and-daughter and mother-and-son. The mother was found to have stronger influence than the father in the risk behaviors related to health of their teenagers.
