“…There were surprisingly few racial/ethnic differences in sex risk behaviors. Yet, because of the disproportionate numbers of African Americans who cycle through correctional facilites, 79,80 the pediatrics community must focus on implementing culturally appropriate interventions for African American youth and young adults. More than any other racial/ethnic group, African Americans are disproportionately incarcerated and affected by HIV/AIDS.…”

Objective-. To examine the prevalence, development, and persistence of sex and drug behaviors that place delinquent youth at risk for human immunodeficiency virus and other sexually transmitted infections (HIV/STI).Methods-At the baseline interview, HIV/STI drug and sex risk behaviors were assessed in a stratified random sample of 800 juvenile detainees, aged 10 to 18 years. Participants were reinterviewed approximately 3 years later (mean [SD] follow-up, 3.2 [0.3] years; median follow-up, 3.1 years). The final sample in these analyses (n = 724) includes 316 females and 408 males, 393 African Americans, 198 Hispanics, 131 non-Hispanic whites, and 2 participants who self-identified as "other."Results-Nearly three quarters of youth engaged in one or more unprotected sexual risk behaviors at follow-up. Over 60% had engaged in 10 or more risk behaviors at their baseline interview, and nearly two thirds of them persisted in 10 or more risk behaviors at follow-up. Among youth living in the community, many behaviors were more prevalent at follow-up than at baseline. Among incarcerated youth, the opposite pattern prevailed. Development and persistence of HIV/STI risk behaviors differed by gender, race/ethnicity, and age, even after adjusting for incarceration status. Compared with females, males had higher prevalence rates of many HIV/STI risk behaviors and were more likely to persist in some behaviors and develop new ones. Yet, injection risk behaviors were more prevalent among females than males and were also more likely to develop and persist. Compared with persons younger than 18, persons 18 and older had higher prevalence rates of many HIV/STI risk behaviors at follow-up. Overall, there were few racial and ethnic differences in patterns of HIV/STI risk behaviors; most involved the initiation and persistence of substance use among nonHispanic whites and Hispanics.Conclusions-Because detained youth have a median stay of only 2 weeks, HIV/STI risk behaviors in delinquent youth are a community public health problem, not just a problem for the juvenile justice system. Improving the coordination among systems that provide HIV/STI interventions to youth -primary care, education, mental health, and juvenile justice -can reduce the prevalence of risk behaviors and substantially reduce the spread of HIV/STI in young people.Corresponding Author: Linda A.

“…All other interventions targeted both parents and children to simultaneously enhance protection and reduce family and individual risks. Examples include enhanced education services for primarily low-income, very young children to improve their cognitive, language, and socialcognitive skills; [48][49][50] and interventions that strengthen parenting skills, parent-child communication, and affective relationships. These include universal (eg, the Strengthening Families Program for Parents and Youth 10-14 28,72,73 and the Computer-Based Intervention 54,55 ), selective (eg, the New Beginnings Program 56 ), and indicated programmes (eg, Functional Family Therapy 74 ).…”

The burden of morbidity and mortality from non-communicable disease has risen worldwide and is accelerating in low-income and middle-income countries, whereas the burden from infectious diseases has declined. Since this transition, the prevention of non-communicable disease as well as communicable disease causes of adolescent mortality has risen in importance. Problem behaviours that increase the short-term or long-term likelihood of morbidity and mortality, including alcohol,

“…Some researches indicate that school readiness is associated with learning, attending to school, developing further skills and academic success or failure (Jaramillo & Tietjen, 2001;Pianta & McCoy 1997;Reynolds 2001;Rouse, Brooks-Gunn, & Mclanahan, 2005 obtained from applications showed that children develop a positive attitude towards school and their academic skills increase (Liddell & Rae, 2001;Stith, Gorman, & Choudhury 2003;Nonoyama, Tarumi, & Bredenberg, 2009).…”

The purpose of this study is to examine preschool teachers' perspectives about children's school readiness. Qualitative and quantitative research methods were used in the study as a mixed method research. Data, in the quantitative aspects of the research, were collected through the use of "School Readiness Form" developed by Boz (2004) and "School Readiness Checklist for 5-6 Age Children" developed by the researchers; from 204 preschool teachers. In the qualitative part of the research, open-ended questions were asked for preschool teacher to determine their opinions about children's school readiness. While findings obtained from quantitative aspect revealed that there is a relationship between the skills that children must have and their school readiness; in the qualitative part of the research participants presented an opinion that academic, social communication skills, maturity, communication with parents and the developmental areas have an effect on children's school readiness. In the study, qualitative and quantitative findings were coincided. Some recommendations are made in terms of findings.
