“…16,17 It is possible that an increase in peer support and parental supervision, as found in this survey, contributed to the decline in the interpersonal violence and injury prevalence in Morocco. 32,33 Being bullied increased among boys but not girls in this survey over time, but was still lower than the average in 11 Arab countries 6 but similar to in students in Libya, Morocco and Tunisia. 7 It is possible that the increase in active commuting to school, as found in this study, made boys more vulnerable to bullying victimisation.…”

Background This study aimed to estimate the trends of 20 health risk behaviours among adolescents in Morocco. Methods Cross-sectional data from 13,109 adolescents (14 years median age) that took part in three waves (2006, 2010, and 2016) of the “Morocco Global School-Based Student Health Survey (GSHS)” were analysed. Results Among both boys and girls, five health risk behaviours (being physically attacked, annual injury, passive smoking, zero days walking or biking to school, and poor hand hygiene after toilet use) significantly declined over time, as well as among boys the involvement in physical fighting. Inadequate fruit intake and current tobacco use increased among both boys and girls over time, and among girls bullying victimization and among boys poor hand hygiene prior to eating increased over time. Conclusion More health risk behaviours decreased than increased in this study of three cross-sectional surveys over a period of 10 years. Additional school health promotion is needed.

“…21 Higher raw scores and T scores indicate higher levels of total and subtypes of aggression. Participants were grouped into 7 groups according to T scores based on the cutoff point proposed in a previous study conducted among Chinese adolescents 22 : very low (T score Յ29), low (T score [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39], low average (T score [40][41][42][43][44], average (T score 45-55), high average (T score 56-59), high (T score 60-69), and very high (T score Ն70). In the current study, we defined high and very high groups as exhibiting corresponding aggression, while other groups were defined as no corresponding aggression.…”

ImportanceIn China, parental labor migration often leaves children behind and is potentially adversely associated with children’s health. However, the association between parental migration and aggression among their offspring remains largely underexplored.ObjectiveTo investigate the associations of parental labor migration with total and subtypes of aggression among their offspring as well as potential sex differences therein.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cross-sectional study was conducted from February to October 2015 among students aged 11 to 20 years from 45 public middle and high schools across 5 provinces of China. Data analysis was performed from December 1, 2022, to August 1, 2023.ExposuresParental migration, including migration status (yes or no), pattern (father, mother, or both), and the child’s age at the initial parent-child separation.Main Outcomes and MeasuresTotal and subtypes of aggression (including physical aggression [PA], verbal aggression [VA], indirect aggression [IA], anger, and hostility) were measured using the Chinese version of the Buss-Warren Aggression Questionnaire. Binomial logistic regression analyses were used separately to estimate adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% CIs of parental migration by total and subtypes of aggression.ResultsA total of 15 301 participants (7900 [51.6%] male and 7401 [48.4%] female) aged 11 to 20 years (mean [SD] age, 15.1 [1.8] years) were included. Of these participants, 5961 (39.0%) experienced parental migration; 2451 (16.0%) met the criteria for total aggression, 2407 (15.7%) for PA, 2283 (14.9%) for VA, 2899 (18.9%) for IA, 2307 (15.1%) for anger, and 2564 (16.8%) for hostility. Parental migration was associated with total aggression (aOR, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.01-1.22); no significant association between parental migration and subtypes of aggression was found except for PA (aOR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.03-1.25). Compared with children whose parents did not migrate, the aORs for total aggression and PA for participants whose father migrated were 1.12 (95% CI, 1.01-1.28) and 1.15 (95% CI, 1.03-1.29), respectively; for participants with both parents having migrated, the aORs were 1.16 (95% CI, 1.02-1.31) and 1.12 (95% CI, 1.04-1.24), respectively. Compared with children whose parents did not migrate, children who experienced initial separation from 1 or both parents at adolescence had an aOR for total aggression of 1.20 (95% CI, 1.04-1.36), children who experienced initial separation from 1 or both parents at school age or adolescence had an aOR for PA of 1.15 (95% CI, 1.01-1.32) and 1.26 (95% CI, 1.04-1.51), respectively. No sex differences were found in these associations.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cross-sectional study of Chinese children and adolescents, we found that parental migration, mainly of the father or both parents or an initial separation at adolescence or school age from 1 or both parents, was associated with higher odds of total aggression and PA among offspring. These associations were similar between male and female participants.

“…Individuals who have had caregivers, supportive and sensitive to their needs, will develop a secure attachment bond with consequent better emotion regulation strategies (Mikulincer et al, 2012), while those who have had less helpful caregivers will present an insecure attachment pattern with consequent difficulties in regulating these emotions. Less affective closeness to parents can indeed determine emotional problems (Helsen et al, 2000;Rawatlal et al, 2015) and problem behavior (Lakhdir et al, 2020;Smorti et al, 2014;Ooi et al, 2006;Liable et al, 2007;Dykas et al, 2008;de Vries et al, 2016;Allen et al, 2007;Charalampous et al, 2018;D'Urso et al, 2019), producing vulnerability and feelings of shortcomings (Shin et al, 2016). Furthermore, these bonds have an important role in the development of identity (Allen et al, 1994;Beyers et al, 2008;Schacter et al, 2008) and for the construction of a positive self-image (Dunlop et al, 2001;Malik et al, 2013) as well as in terms of an anaclitic identification: a positive image of parent enhanced adolescents' self-image, and facilitated psychological well-being of youths (Hashimoto et al, 2011).…”

has had an indirect impact on families' daily lives: the restrictive measures to limit its spread changed family routines and affected the quality of parent-adolescent relationships. Some research examined changes in parenting and parent-child relationship quality, but there is a lack within scientific literature about what is the adolescents' specific vision about the qualitative changes of their teen-parent relationships during the pandemic period. Teens' qualitative descriptions of relationships with parents are the focus of the explorative research presented in this paper. Fifty-three Italian adolescents described how their family relationships changed during the lockdown (March-May 2020). Most of them describe an increase in the quality of their relationships with parents and relatives and perceive the lockdown as an occasion to grow and to learn about the complex aspects of life. Instead, those who perceived the lockdown as a traumatic period describe a difficult and conflictual domestic setting during their forced isolation at home. Findings show the peculiar resilient competence of adolescents in elaborating stressful situations.
