“…Co-infection with MT and HIV-1: MT-HIV-1 co-infection poses a formidable challenge to public health, with both pathogens exerting reciprocal influences on disease progression. Co-infection accelerates TB development by altering MT course, while HIV-1 replication and genetic variation are influenced by MT, providing a synergistic advantage to both pathogens [24] . Barr et al demonstrated that MT blood infection in HIV-TB co-infected patients predicts mortality within 30 days, underscoring the urgency of early diagnosis and intervention [25] .…”

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health challenge in Nigeria, with high morbidity and mortality rates. This statistical overview provides insights into the epidemiology of TB in Nigeria, highlighting regional disparities, demographic factors, and key public health implications. Drawing from referenced studies and World Health Organization reports, the analysis reveals Nigeria's classification as a high TB burden country, with an estimated 460,000 new cases reported annually. The prevalence of TB stands at 616 cases per 100,000 population, with notable regional variations observed across different geographical zones. The findings emphasize the need for multifaceted approaches to TB control, including enhanced surveillance, improved diagnostics, and targeted interventions addressing social determinants of health. By understanding the complex epidemiological landscape of TB in Nigeria, policymakers and public health officials can formulate evidence-based strategies to mitigate disease burden and improve health outcomes for affected populations.

“…All stakeholders whose interventions are primarily aimed at empowering adolescents should carefully consider how they can use the context of school, family, community, and leisure to promote positive values and behaviors and help adolescents use their time wisely so that it can contribute positively to their development. This means that it is not enough to just provide leisure activities in a particular context, but that it is important to provide adolescents with quality and meaningful leisure time in order to positively influence their development 25,26 and prevent the occurrence of risky behaviors and problems, including sexual risk behaviors.…”

“…24 Although participation in SLA can lead to positive developmental outcomes, it is important to think much more broadly and beyond the domain of the activities themselves, especially because knowledge about the effectiveness of interventions in the area of leisure is still very limited. 25,26 The aim of the study was to gain insight into the prevalence of sexual risk behaviors and to determine whether socio-demographic characteristics and school-related behaviors contribute to sexual risk behaviors among adolescents, independent of participation in SLA. The study results presented can serve as a basis for planning evidence-based interventions to promote positive development or prevention of risky behaviors among adolescents.…”

Adolescent sexual risk behaviors and participation in structured leisure activities (SLA): Role of socio-demographic characteristics and school-related behaviors

Adolescence is the transitional period between childhood and adulthood during which many physical, cognitive, social and emotional changes take place, characterized by an increasing interest in romantic and sexual relationships. During adolescence, young people enter into their first sexual partnerships. This may involve behaviors referred to as sexual risk behaviors. The aim of this study was to gain insight into the prevalence of sexual risk behaviors and to determine whether socio-demographic characteristics and school-related behaviors contribute to sexual risk behaviors among adolescents, independent of participation in SLA. The study was conducted from April to June 2021 in Croatia. The sample consisted only of students who reported having had sexual intercourse (N=702; 28.6%). Participants were between 14 and 21 years (46.3% female). Logistic analyses were conducted. The results of this study showed that socio-demographic characteristics make only a limited contribution to the sexual risk behaviors studied. However, it is evident that school-related behaviors are associated with sexual risk behaviors among adolescents, with slight differences depending on their participation in SLA. That is, better grades are a protective factor for sexual risk behavior for both those who do not participate in SLA and those who do, while intentionally skipping school is a risk factor for sexual risk behavior only for those who do participate in SLA. Even though the results show that some school-related behaviors are predictors of sexual risk behavior, it is not enough to implement preventive interventions only in school or leisure settings. It is important to intervene in all areas that influence adolescent development, because a comprehensive preventive approach that addresses all areas can have a greater impact on adolescent development. Therefore, it is necessary to plan comprehensive, evidence-based interventions targeting individuals and their environments, including SLA, to prevent sexual risk behaviors among adolescents.

“…There is also broad consensus in the literature in defining adolescence as a relational stage in which context plays a crucial role to develop positively (Caldwell and Faulk, 2013;Shek et al, 2019;Belošević and Ferić, 2022a). ecological perspective describes the reciprocal and bidirectional interaction between the different environments in which the individual moves.…”
