“…Narratives suggest this pressure is a motivation for community members to acquire what others in their network have been able to through family emigration. Studies with left behind populations in other areas of the world have found significant mental health impacts on those who have lost someone to emigration, including in children, and in older and middle-aged adults ( Roy and Nangia, 2005 ; Hu et al., 2014 ; Liang et al., 2017 ; Bohme et al., 2015 ; Altman et al., 2018 ; Antman, 2010 ; Wilkerson et al., 2009 ; Paudyal and Tunprasert, 2018 ). Narratives in this study suggest that similar struggles are being felt by those in migrant-sending communities of rural Guatemala.…”

“…Fear of crime has a negative effect on well-being and has direct physiological and behavioral consequences for health 35 . Coping with such a situation may be challenging for many adolescents and under stressful conditions engagement in negative behaviors, like smoking, can be an answer for them 36,37 . Viner et al 29 conducted a country-level ecological analysis on the health of young people and stated that safe schools are crucial to young people's health both in rich and low-and middleincome countries.…”

This study aims to quantify the overall importance of schools in explaining the individual variance of tobacco use and to test the association between characteristics of the school environment and its vicinity with the experimentation and current use of cigarettes. We analyzed data from 102,072 Brazilian adolescents interviewed in the 2015 National School Health Survey (PeNSE). Multilevel logistic regression models were performed to estimate the between-schools variance and to test the association between school-level variables and the use of tobacco. Violence in the vicinity of the school and presence of teachers or students smoking on school premises were the school-level characteristics. The analyses were adjusted by individual covariates and stratified by gender. Around 12.5% of the individual variance in ever smoking was explained by between-school variation among girls (9.2% among boys). The figures were even higher for current smoking (14.9% girls; 12.2% boys) and current use of other tobacco products (27.7% girls; 17.8% boys). In general, the use of tobacco was associated with the existence of violence in the vicinity of the schools and was higher among students whose schools reported that students and teachers (teachers only for use of other tobacco products among girls) smoke on school premises. Tobacco use on school premises and the safety of the neighborhood where the school is located are associated with some smoking behaviors among adolescents. Such findings reinforce the necessity to effectively consider interventions in the school environment and neighborhood to fight smoking among adolescents.

“…Violence is an uncontrollable stressor that can manifest as both a continuous source of stress and a devastating incident that occurs on a onetime basis. A large body of evidence shows that exposure to violence in families and communities significantly negatively impacts young people's mental health [37]. Violence is an uncontrollable stressor that can manifest as both a continuous source of stress and a devastating incident that occurs on a one-time basis.…”

Aims: This phenomenological study aimed to explore the lived experiences, coping strategies, and insights of the Blaan tribe in their practice of the Pangayaw or revenge-killing. Study Design: This study employs a qualitative design utilizing the phenomenological approach. Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted among the Blaans tribe that belongs in Kiblawan, Davao Del Sur, between 2020 and 2021. Methodology: During data collection, there were nine (9) participants who willingly consented to participate in the in-depth interviews. After data was collected, transcribed, and translated, it was subjected to thematic analysis. Results: The results revealed the lived experiences, coping strategies, and insights of the Blaans. In the practice of Pangayaw, it was found that the members of the bereaved family feel relieved after vengeance was served. Meanwhile, coping strategies used include the settlement of issues with other families, along with government officials and money for compensation. On the other hand, members of the tribe shared their insights on the need to stop the practice of Pangayaw and called for legal interventions. Conclusion: The study concluded that National Commission on Indigenous People (NCIP) should re-evaluate the conduct of this tradition for the well-being of the members of the tribe.
