Background: Childhood obesity is gaining a dramatic increase in developing as well as in developed countries. Childhood overweight and obesity in which adolescents are included have be known to have negative impact on both physical and psychological health. Overweight and obese children are likely to stay obese into their adulthood and are more likely to develop non-communicable diseases. The objective of this study is to determine the occurrence and factors associated with overweight and obesity among secondary school students in Puchong Selangor Malaysia. Materials and Method: A cross-sectional study design was employed. A self-constructed pretested questionnaire was used for the data collection. The questionnaire consists of six sections, which include: socio-demography characteristics, physical activity questionnaire, self-esteem scale, body parts satisfaction scale, body size perception scale and smoking status questionnaire. Weight and height were measured and converted to body mass index (BMI). The study analysis was done using SPSS version 22. Basic descriptive analyses were carried out for the mean, median, frequency and percentage. Chi square test was used to test association between the variables. Multiple logistic regressions were used to determine the predictors of overweight and obesity among the respondents. Result: The response rate was 100%. The respondents' age was 13-17years and occurrence of overweight and obesity was 10% and 3.9% respectively. Out of the 281 students that participated in the study 164 were female (58.4%). Overweight and obesity was significantly associated with father's education (χ2 = 9.697, df= 2, p=0.006), mothers education (χ2 = 7.448, df= 2, p= 0.023), body part satisfaction (χ2 =14.837, df= 1, p= 0.001) and body image (χ2 =6.745, df= 1, p= 0.009). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the predictors of obesity were age (AOR=2.

Background: Pediculosis capitis is a common infestation among the school-aged group. Necessary intervention must be taken to prevent and manage the problem. A full study using cluster randomized control trial is proposed to assess the effectiveness of a health education module on the knowledge, attitude and practices on Pediculosis capitis among government primary school students. If the intervention is effective, it can be generalized to the whole primary schools across the country. Therefore, this paper will discuss on the development of a school-based health education intervention to improve the knowledge, attitude and practices on Pediculosis capitisamong the government primary school students. Materials and Methods: Literature review was done to examine the prevalence of Pediculosis capitis and its determinants. Based on the findings, a health education intervention module based on KAP Model was developed for the implementation at a school level. Contribution by the panel of experts was attained for the development of the module. Validation of the module was carried out to ensure it is suitable to be implemented and will be effective in preventing and managing Pediculosis capitis. Expected Result: The health education intervention is effective to improve the knowledge, attitude and practices on Pediculosis capitis of the respondents as compared to baseline. Conclusion:Preventing Pediculosis capitis and controlling its risk factors by a well-developed health education module will help to obtain the desired outcome which is the reduction of Pediculosis capitis and improvement of knowledge, attitude and practice on Pediculosis capitis among the respondents.

Background: Displaced population is a broad definition than encompasses refugees, internally-displaced population and relocated populations and this phenomenon can cause a lot of effect which can be economical, psycho-social, health and wellbeing. Adaptive behaviour is a compilation of social, conceptual and practical skills that a person learned to be able to play their role in daily living. This can be influenced by various factors like sociodemographic, socio-economic and physical health. Materials and Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted in Taman Bayu Damai, Pengerang, Johor from May 2018 to June 2018 among 554 relocated population. Respondents were selected using proportionate stratified sampling based on their previous localities prior to relocation. Number of respondents for each stratum is determined to be proportionate with its size compared to the whole area and randomised. Respondents were handed a selfadministered questionnaire. The Spearman's Correlation was used to determine correlations between continuous variables. After categorisations, Chi-Square Test of Independence was used to determine the association between the categorical variables. Finally, multiple logistic regression using Enter method was used to identify significant predictors. Result:The response rate was 92.3%. Response rate across all strata ranged from 84.3% to 97.3%. Five factors were found to be significantly associated with poor adaptive behaviour which are gender, education level, social support, marital status and monthly income. However, upon further analysis, none of these plus confounding factors was a significant predictor for poor adaptive behaviour. Conclusion:Adaptive behaviour among displaced population in Taman Bayu Damai is generally good but there is still small portion of population that still struggling. These population can be targeted to avoid further deterioration and potentially lead to mental issues. Future intervention should focus on female, lower education level, lower income, widowed and divorcees and low social support and emphasis on religious and self-empowerment programmes.
