Background Marijuana and alcohol use are associated with increased sexual risk behavior among justice-involved youth. A multi-behavior intervention may reduce all three risk behaviors. Purpose To examine the relationships among multiple risk behaviors and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) constructs guiding the development of the MARS (Motivating Adolescents to Reduce Sexual risk) intervention. We describe the MARS study design to inform the process through which a multi-behavior intervention trial can be implemented and evaluated. Methods Participants completed questionnaires prior to randomization to one of three interventions. Results Relationships were found between TPB constructs and risk behavior. A single latent variable was inadequate to capture all three risk behaviors. Conclusions Interventions to reduce sexual risk behavior can include content related to the role of substance use in influencing sexual risk behavior with only minimal modifications to the curriculum, and preliminary data suggest a common theory can apply across risk behaviors.

“…Research suggests that weight concerns are related to psychological and behavioral problems to a greater extent than actual BMI. 8,14,15 Among young men, weight concerns in general have been related to low self-esteem, 9 (but see Furnham and Calnan 3 ), depression, 8 decreased life satisfaction, 16 and use of alcohol and illicit drugs. 17 Weight concerns related to feeling underweight have been associated with experienced peer isolation, 7 low self-reported academic achievement, 4 exercise aimed at attaining a bigger body, 4,10 and increased intake of unhealthy, sugary foods.…”

“…4 Weight concerns related to feeling overweight have been associated with somatic complaints 14 and delinquent behavior. 14,15 This study examines whether adolescent LBW boys report more weight concerns than boys the same age in the general population. It further examines the relationship of weight concerns to self-esteem and depression in the adolescent LBW boys, taking BMI into account.…”

“…Seven studies (19,37,44,55,57,59,77) assessed psychological variables and, of these, three presented significant associations with OW. Directly associated with OW, both in boys and girls were: a higher score of depressive symptoms (77) ; presence of a food disorder characterizing a restrictive behavior (59) and the presence of trace of anxiety (19) .…”

ResumoObjetivo: Identificar fatores socioeconô-micos, ambientais e comportamentais associados ao excesso de peso (EP) em adolescentes por meio de uma revisão sistemática da literatura. AbstractObjective: To identify socioeconomic, environmental and behavioral factors associated with overweight (OW) in adolescents through a systematic literature review. Methods: Six databases were consulted (Lilacs, Adolec, SciELO, Medline via Pubmed, ISI Web of Knowlwdge and Cochrane Library) between January 3 and 13, 2008. The following key-words and respective MeSH terms were used: "overweight", "obesity", "adolescence", "adolescents", "risk factors", "associated factors". Articles in English, Spanish and Portuguese published between 1997 and 2007 were evaluated, and only observational studies with adolescents aged from 10 to 19 years, diagnosed with OW using international criteria were included. Studies based on convenience samples or that did not investigate social, environmental and psycho-behavioral factors as independent variables were excluded. Results: 202 articles were selected by reading the titles and abstracts and applying initial eligibility criterion. The review of complete publications allowed including and analyzing 56 articles. Socioeconomic level was found to be inversely associated with OW in developed countries and directly associated in developing countries. The habit of going on weight loss diets, the number of hours per day watching TV/video, having an obese mother and/or father and the occurrence of OW in childhood were directly associated with OW. The habit of having breakfast and physical activity were observed to be protective factors. Conclusion: Socioeconomic, behavioral, family, and childhood variables were associated with OW and should be considered in interventions directed toward the problem among adolescents.
